Aesthetically, the PointsBet app is one of the best-looking apps, giving an outstanding betting experience. We love the black background with a combination of pink and white letters. The interface is straightforward to handle, as you can switch between several handy menus in the blink of an eye. You’ll find the main menu on the left-hand side of the main screen. It is the primary tool to help you find the way around.
The Revis Betting Academy is sort of a guide-through from the sportsbook, as most bettors are not quite fully aware of what their special Pointsbetting refers to. We’d warmly advise you to read the complete instructions before placing your first wagers on this particular market.
There are many PointsBet mobile app secure payment methods available to players. Keep in mind that these deposit and withdrawal methods vary from state to state. So, what might be available in New Jersey might not be available in Indiana, and vice versa.
For deposits, there is a minimum of $10. The money will be available in your account almost instantly. The deposit methods are:
Banking Options | |
Online Banking | Visa/Mastercard credit and debit cards |
PayNearMe | PayPal |
ACH/Check |
Right now, the app only offers one withdrawal method - via Bank Transfer.

PointsBet Mobile Game/Odds selection vs Desktop
There is no difference between PointsBet mobile app and the web page. Everything you can do on the website is also available through the app (both for iOS and Android). Given the new betting system is the sportsbook’s highlight, we were quite surprised to see a strong range of sports on the menu. The list of markets is also beyond impressive, especially for the mainstream US leagues.
We thus found more than 200 different betting options for a regular-season NBA game as well as more than 10 markets for an NFL game.
It is important to mention that you can choose whether to place normal bets or use the “Pointsbetting” feature. The regular markets include the following:
- Moneyline
- Futures
- Player Props
- Spreads
- Parlays
- Straight Bets
- Totals
- Team Props
There are many PointsBet app special features. But, obviously, the “Pointsbetting” is the key feature that makes this sportsbook unique and special. Here is what it actually refers to, as well as some other special features.
With PointsBet mobile PointsBetting, you are backing a certain team to win by a certain margin of points (just like spread betting). The difference between the normal spread betting and Pointsbetting is that your winnings or losses depend on the margin of the team’s victory. If the margin is higher, the higher your winnings will be and vice versa. This makes every single point in a basketball game equally important.
If your bet wins by one point (or unit), then you would win 1x your bet amount. If your wager wins by 2 units, you win 2x your wager, and so on. This provides great opportunities for huge payouts.
The risk, of course, is that it works the other way, too. If you lose by 10 units, then you'd lose 10x your wager, too.
Other PointsBet Features
Other PointsBet features include:
- Mobile Cash Out: Gives you the opportunity to have more control over your bets. You can use it only on certain leagues, though. It allows you to settle your wager before the game actually ends.
- Live Betting: Gives you the chance to place in-game wagers as games are already going on. We are thrilled with the range of events and markets on the offer when it comes to the live betting section.
- Name a Bet: If you'd like to to wager on a market for any sport/event they currently offer but don't see it on the app, you can submit it to PointsBet for them to price it out for you.
