PointsBet Sportsbook is Like No One Else
PointsBetting is Truly Unique
You can place all of the traditional kinds of sports bets at PointsBet Sportsbook. Put $10 on the Rams to cover a point spread, and get $10 back when you win. But PointsBet really stands out because of the PointsBetting amaff that the sportsbook offers.
Imagine that you put $10 on the Rams to cover, and they cover by four points. That means that you win 4x your bet, or $40. L.A. covers by five points, and that’s $50. A 10-point cover is 10x your wager.
It does, however, also work the reverse way. If the Rams fail to cover by two points, you’ve just lost twice your bet.
Promos Galore at PointsBet
New players at PointsBet are eligible for a pair of bonus offers worth up to $2,000 in free bets. But even beyond that initial introduction to PointsBet, there are multiple promo offers to take advantage of.
There are various juice-free NFL bets throughout the season. Based on your betting history, free live bets are awarded throughout the betting calendar.
There are daily parlay profit boosts of 10%, random booster odds on props and parlays, early payouts if your team scores first, Good Karma Refunds and Name Your Bet promotions.
PointsBet also offers a Refer a Friend bonus that gives you as much as $100 in free bets.
Great Live Streaming Options at PointsBet
PointsBet has been live streaming games since 2020, when it partnered with Genius Sports. They offer live streams for the sports least likely to be on television in your area, like tennis, soccer, volleyball, and esports.
There are, however, also mainstream events now showing up on PointsBet through their partnership with NBC Sports and what is being called BetCast.
As an example, NBC Sports Chicago will show a Bulls game, and PointsBet will show the BetCast at the same time, which is an enhanced version of the broadcast featuring updated lines, stats, and special betting games inside the game that can result in up to $50,000 in winnings.
As that partnership with NBC Sports grows, so will the live streaming options on PointsBet.
