PointsBet welcome bonus offer

We gave this a 4 star rating as we believe it is a very profitable offer. Many operators offer some sort of promotion so as to attract new customers, but PointsBet did really well with their generous welcome offer. One may benefit form a bonus of up to $1000.

The deposit bonus is applicable on various racing and sports events which take place during the summer.

It is important to go over the terms and conditions that apply to become a customer and be eligible for this offer. The main requirements include the need to be over 18 years of age, and that one is a resident of VIC, QLD, the Northern Territory and TAS. The deposit needs to be made by credit card and the wagering requirement has to be on odds of over $1.50. The welcome bonus is only given to new players, with bonus funds to be used only as a single bet on fixed odds markets which are eligible.

Betting markets available

PointsBet certainly deserves a five star rating on this. First off it is one of the very few Australian operators to offer spread betting. Moreover, it offers a vast variety of betting markets for customers to choose from, a good amount of which are not available at any other operator.

So when joining PointsBet you can get to choose from various sports and events including NFL, AFL, ice hockey, boxing, soccer, motor sports, tennis, darts and much more! Events are available aplenty throughout the whole year with some of the most popular ones such as the English Premier League, the Rugby League, and many more. NBA betting is particularly at its best with PointsBet.

There are also several kinds of bets one can opt for such as the time of markets, the player stats, multipliers and much more.

Since players are given the opportunity of backing their predictions with multiplier markets they can get maximum leverage on bets placed. This is possible across various stats and points for different sports.

PointsBet Mobile App

The mobile app us available for both iOS and Android devices. However in the case of iOS it is only compatible with iOS 9.0 onwards. The iOS version is 22MB and it can be downloaded for free from the app store. For Android users the app can be downloaded through a link with instructions available on the PointsBet website, and its size is of 14MB.

The app is available in English and it is user friendly.

Payment Options

The table below summarizes the different payment options currently available for PointsBet.

Payment method	Minimum deposit	Transaction fee	Processing time
Credit/debit card	None	None	Instant
Bank transfer	None	None	Instant

 

The payment methods currently available are slightly limited, probably because PointsBet is a relatively new operator. Other operators offer a wider variety of methods, but probably these will in time be made available by PointsBet as well.

Having said that PointsBet customers can rest assured that the payment methods currently available are safe and secure, and at the end of the day that is the most important thing.

With regards to withdrawals one may only do this by bank transfer. However at least there are no transaction fees whatsoever.

PointsBet customer service

We gave a 4 star rating to the customer service provided by PointsBet as it is quite good considering they are relatively new in the market.

Customer service method	Live chat	Telephone	Email

Availability time	Daily from 6:00am to midnight	Daily from 6:00am to midnight	Daily from 6:00am to midnight

 

Despite the fact that availability time is slightly limited, at least the customer care service is available on a daily basis. There is also the Help section available on the website which is quite detailed and helpful in its own regard.

Overall Rating

PointsBet is one of the most well reputed operators in Australia even if it has not been in this market for that long. It has done well in all areas by now, and while there is room for future improvement, it will probably ameliorate even further.

As we have discussed PointsBet has a good mobile app, secure payment options, a wide range of markets, and it also offers spread betting. PointsBet offers various promotions on a regular basis too.

 

Pros	Cons
Wide variety of betting markets	Few payment options currently available
App is Android and iOS compatible and user friendly	There aren’t any mobile-specific promotions
Generous bonuses offered regularly	Customer support is available between 6am and midnight only

FAQs

These are some of the most commonly asked questions by customers:

Could you explain what spread betting is?

With fixed odds you get 100% of winnings or losses, as the case may be. But with spread betting the bets are not set and they can vary till the very end of the game. Obviously the more right you are in your bets, the more you get to win.

Are there other promotions for existing customers?

Yes there are various other offers for existing PointsBet customers. Some of these include:

• Every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday during the summer you can get a $100 back on racing money.
•    When a winning bet is placed on any horse or harness race, but the horse gets relegated after placing first, the bettor still is a winner. This is a Protest Payout.

The offering portfolio gets updated on a regular basis. So it is always best to check regularly for the latest news.

Can one place a bet any time?

Bets need to go through a risk assessment procedure prior to being accepted.

This is done in order to establish volatility for spread betting markets and also since liabilities are possible. Win limits also need to be taken into consideration. We always encourage you to gamble in a responsible manner.
