Pointsbet Promo Code

PointsBet Promo Code NJ

PointsBet entered the US sports betting market when it launched in New Jersey in January 2019. Like other sportsbooks active in New Jersey,  the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement regulates it. Pointsbet's innovative and creative selection of betting markets helped it quickly become popular among sports bettors in the Garden State.

There is no retail location for PointsBet in New Jersey. But the site is affiliated with the Meadowlands in East Rutherford. New customers of PointsBet New Jersey need to enter the bonus code when prompted to do so during the registration process to enjoy the welcome offer.

PointsBet Promo Code Indiana

The Hoosier State is the third market that PointsBet has launched inside the US. With its launch in March 2020, it became the fifth sportsbook to become active in Indiana. While there is no PointsBet Indiana retail location in-state, Lawrenceburg's Hollywood Casino serves as PointsBet Indiana's retail partner.

PointsBet Illinois Promo Code

PointsBet Illinois became the fourth state for the sportsbook to launch when it went live in September 2020 and the eighth retail operator in the state. The sports betting partner of the Chicago Bears, PointsBet has four retail locations in-state. The flagship location is at the Hawthorne Race Course, with three off-track locations in Oak Brook Terrace, Prospect Heights, and Crestwood.

PointsBet Iowa Promo Code

When sportsbooks were legally allowed to launch in Iowa (August 15, 2019), PointsBet IA was first. However, it was not with their second online sportsbook in the US but their first retail location at the Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington. The online site launched a couple of months later, in November.

PointsBet Colorado Promo Code

The voters approved sports betting in Colorado in November 2019. But Colorado did not have online sportsbooks launch until May 1, 2020. PointsBet did not launch its site until November, though. While there is no retail location in-state, PointsBet has plans to open one in the Double Eagle Casino in Cripple Creek.

PointsBet Michigan Promo Code

Michigan made sports betting legal in-state in December 2019 and saw retail locations start taking bets in March 2020. While it took the state awhile to figure out how it wanted to regulate online sportsbooks, they were finally allowed to launch in January 2021. PointsBet was among the first to launch on January 22.

Some sportsbooks have gotten away from offering loyalty programs, but not PointsBet. Through the PointsBet rewards program, users can earn points they can cash in later for bonus bets of various values ($2.50-$1000).

You earn points according to the type of bet and amount wagered. For fixed odds bets, every $5 risked earns one point. But for parlays, it is a point per dollar bet. When it comes to points betting wagers, it is a point per dollar won or lost.

Sportsbooks like to do what they can to offer customers a wide range of betting markets to chose from. But sportsbooks do not always think of everything that the betting public may want to put money on. With PointsBet, if you think of a market that you would like to bet on, you can submit it to PointsBet via Twitter or a form on the website, and PointsBet will give it odds.

Like every sportsbook, PointsBet runs promotions geared towards getting new users to sign up online or via the PointsBet app. But PointsBet knows that it is important to offer perks and benefits to existing users as well—which it does through various promotions throughout the year, including:

• Refer-a-Friend: Existing users can earn up to$2500 a year in bonus bets by merely getting friends to open an account and make a qualifying bet. The site lists the bonus per referral as a $50 one in the terms and conditions, but PointsBet will offer promos where the bonus is $100.
• Make it Rain: Bet $50 on the spread of the chosen game of the day and earn bonus bets equal in value to the number of three-pointers the team you bet on hits times three.
• Bonus Bet Single Game Parlay: place a bet on a single game parlay (of a given game) with at least four legs, and receive a refund of up to $100 if you lose.
• NBA Single Game Parlay Insurance: place a bet on a single game parlay with at least three legs and get up to $25 back if only one leg of your parlay loses. If you lose on two or more, you are out of luck.
• Parlay Booster: place a bet on a parlay with at least three legs, and you can increase your payout by selecting a booster (one per day).
• Single Game Parlay Boost: place a bet on a parlay with three or more legs and increase your potential payout by boosting your final odds; no minimum or maximum bet.
• Boosters: The PointsBet sportsbook will offer various ways in which users can boost the odds of a particular bet or will offer bets with boosted odds for users to wager on.
• Create-Your-Own Single Game Parlay Boost: Like the single-game parlay boost described earlier, this one gives you the chance to boost the odds on a parlay of three legs or more that you create.
• Cash Out: Losing confidence in the team you bet on? Wish you had not bet on the team you did? With the cash-out option, you can collect on a winning bet early (but not as much as if you had let the game finish) or cut your losses if your team is losing.

Taking advantage of the $1500 (max value) bonus bet is a great idea, but many new users will probably have the same question—what is 'points betting?' Points betting is a high-risk, high-reward kind of system that you are entirely in control of.

Like any other bet, you decide who you think will win. But rather than just taking the spread or betting the moneyline, you choose how much you think your team will win by. If you are right, then you win your stake times the number you picked. However, if you lose, you lose your stake times that number.

For example, let's say you think the Cowboys will beat the Texans by ten, and they do. You will win your stake times ten! But if they were to lose by ten instead, you would lose your stake times ten.

While the chance to win more on a game is thrilling, you have to be mindful that you do not lose just the amount you stake.

Bad beats benefit sportsbooks because they get to escape paying out on what looked like a winning bet. But bad beats can be demoralizing to bettors and could even discourage them from placing bets in the future.  To that end, PointsBet has the 'Good Karma Kommittee.'

If a bad beat is egregious enough, like a missed pass interference call that results in a last-minute, game-winning score, PointsBet may choose to refund affected bettors. As an added bonus, bettors that make at least ten wagers a month can choose from one lost bet and receive a refund of up to $100.

PointsBet is well aware of the need to carry a range of sports and sports betting markets; not just the popular North American sports but also sports popular around the world. The site currently has odds listed for:

• Aussie Rules
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Football
• Golf
• Hockey
• MMA
• Motor Racing
• Rugby League
• Rugby Union
• Soccer
• Table Tennis
• Tennis

PointsBet is a legal and licensed sportsbook in New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Colorado, and Illinois. New Jersey and Illinois do not allow for betting on sports involving in-state colleges and universities or for prop bets on college athletes.

Additional sites should launch soon in Tennessee and Virginia.

While the PointsBet sportsbook brings something to the sports betting table that is a little different from traditional sportsbooks, that is not enough to grasp the attention of potential customers in the US betting market. To that end, they have employed the services of a popular sports figure in the US—NBA legend Allen Iverson.

The commercials feature Allen Iverson hanging out with friends and placing bets via the PointsBet mobile app on his phone. With the appeal that an iconic star like Iverson has, PointsBet makes it look like if it is fun for Iverson, it can be just as fun for you.

Commercials featuring Iverson introduced the US to PointsBet leading up to the launch of the first site in New Jersey.

The PointsBet mobile app is available for Android and iOS devices for those that like to place their bets on the go. Users can find the iOS version in the Apple app store, while Android users can download a version of the PointsBet app from the PointsBet site.

The design of the mobile app PointsBet is simple and easy to understand while also appealing to the eye. It is not hard to navigate and is typically very responsive (as long as your internet connection is stable). You can register for a new account via the app, make deposits via your preferred method for online banking, and enjoy all the same betting markets available on the desktop site.

Many users have commented on how helpful the 'bet now' option is when engaging in live, in-play betting on the app PointsBet.

PointsBet is currently legal in six states and has sportsbooks online in all six, but it only has retail locations located in Illinois and Iowa. 

The first was in Iowa at the Catfish Bend Casino in Burlington.

The company opened the second at the Hawthorne Race Course in Iowa. 

Off-track locations also exist in three Chicago-area suburbs (Oak Brook Terrace, Prospect Heights, and Crestwood).

There are several things to like about PointsBet and the PointsBet promo code:

• There is no rollover or play-through requirement involving money won from using bonus bets.
• The name-a-bet function allows for more creativity in betting markets than you find at any other sportsbook.
• The option to win more via 'pointsbetting' rather than betting on fixed odds is enticing to bettors willing to accept the risk.
• For novice bettors, the Revis Betting Academy is a great way to learn the basics of sports betting.

While there are many things to like about PointsBet, there are ways in which it could be better:

• You only have seven days to make use of your bonus bets/bonus bets once PointsBet credits your account.
• There is no welcome bonus for people who do not lose their first bet. It would be nice if there were a bonus for people who do not make bad bets.
• PointsBet could do a much better job of explaining the terms and conditions of its promos. They are not always clear or have all the information you need.
• There does not appear to be a customer support phone number (if there is, it is not easy to find).

PointsBet has a lot of exciting features and a wide range of markets for users to bet on. The pointsbetting option adds an element of excitement that many are likely to enjoy. 

As for the promos, offering bonus bets is a good idea. It is especially smart of PointsBet to make one of them specific to pointsbetting. The promotions and offers available to existing users are good.

But PointsBet would be more inviting to new users if there was some kind of bonus available to those who do not lose their first bet(s).
