Pointsbet Betting Site Review

Pointsbet have developed into one of Australia’s most popular online bookmakers with a blend of traditional fixed odds betting and spread betting.

Spread betting is wagering on a certain outcome to take place and getting rewarded more handsomely for exactly how right you are - and Pointsbet is the leading destination for this type of wagering. 

In addition, the brand also has a seriously impressive fixed odds betting service across the day's racing as well as majors. Throw in a wealth of promotions and the Pointsbet promo code BETS can be used when joining.

Pointsbet Verdict

Pointsbet started as a boutique company but has eventually grown as a rival to the major bookmakers in Australia. Their spread betting feature sets them apart but they've slowly added regular racing and sports markets which puts them on par with the other bookies. 

We can recommend Pointsbet to any prospective punter looking for a new bookmaker.

  • Traditional fixed odds betting also available
  • Promotions available across all racing codes

You can access traditional fixed odds for thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds as well as spread betting and the site also have some of the most comprehensive sports betting opportunities too. 

Pointsbet have some interesting features around the racing product including a unique Hourly Quaddies that gives racing punters more opportunities to win big each day.

There are Payback and Protest Payout promos and a Quick Multi service that allows you to add any number of favourites from a race meeting on one screen.

Pointsbet stand out from the pack thanks to the spread betting, which offers punters a different way to bet.

Pointsbet also deliver competitive odds on their sport and racing fixed odds markets which means you’re not missing out on a bigger dividend by wagering with a different company.

Pointsbet Products & Features

Spread betting unique to Pointsbet and is a completely different to regular wagering because the punters know exactly how much they stand to win when the bet is placed. With spread betting you could win more than you’re expecting or get slugged if you’re unsuccessful.

The more your selection is correct, the more you will win. The more your selection is wrong, the more you’ll lose. For example, if you back the Melbourne Storm to beat the Brisbane Broncos for $5 a point and they win by 10 points, you would win $50 ($5 x 10pts). Should the Storm lose to the Broncos by 10 points you would lose $50 ($5 x $10)

It adds a new level to the punting landscape in Australia.

Other features include the unique Hourly Quaddies, Protest Payouts, Paybacks, Same Game Multis and more.
