What will PointsBet New York look like?
You might not know this, but PointsBet is an online sportsbook that actually has its origins way over in Australia. Not that PointsBet is all about betting on rugby and cricket. In fact, you should be able to come to PointsBet and know that you’ll get seriously competitive odds for everything from the NBA and NFL to the NHL and MLB. Plus it’s got a great track record for bets for all other major sports like soccer, tennis, boxing, golf, and MMA fighting.
What’s best is the fact that PointsBet is a sportsbook that loves to reward its customers with plenty of cool bonuses. This can be seen in the fact that customers based in other states like Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and Virginia can get two massive risk-free bet bonuses. Such a generous deal is then followed up by more promotions such as parlay boosts, bonuses for the NFL playoffs, and much more.
All of which should be enough for you to forgive PointsBet for having Drew Brees as one of its brand ambassadors. So be sure to check back to this page to see when PointsBet finally launches in New York!
