  • PointsBet is legal across New York
  • PointsBet New York launched on January 24, 2022
  • Check out the biggest promo on offer from PointsBet

As more New York sports betting apps start jumping in on the action, the PointsBet sportsbook is now officially live.

Headquartered in Australia, PointsBet is expanding across the US rapidly, and New York has become the ninth state to host this sportsbook.

With a sleek visual appearance and a strong promo for new customers, you can’t go wrong with this completely legal sports betting platform.

PointsBet Is Now Available in New York

For starters, let’s point out that PointsBet is entirely legal in New York. New York sportsbook apps started launching on January 8, with PointsBet NY going live shortly thereafter on January 24.

The PointsBet app wasn’t one of the first out of the gate, but they’re going to draw a lot of action now that they’re live. PointsBet New York could become one of the hottest sportsbooks in the country, as NY online sports betting is already off to an electric start.

Over 20 million people call New York home, and with GeoComply reporting over 24 million in transactions through NY sportsbook apps through the first two weekends, PointsBet NY is joining the fray with a ton of momentum.

With five other sports betting apps already available in the Empire State, January could see over $1 billion in total wagers placed.

Where Is PointsBet Legal?

The PointsBet sportsbook is legal and available in eight other states aside from New York:

  • Colorado
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Michigan
  • New Jersey
  • Virginia
  • West Virginia

Anyone registering with PointsBet in New York can claim a lucrative promo worth up to $2,000 in site credit.

What Will PointsBet Offer in NY?

After NY online sports betting launched on January 8, 2022, many New Yorkers are looking for a new sportsbook to sign up with. Registering with a NY sportsbook is the only way to unlock the best promos, and PointsBet is giving you the opportunity to do just that.

PointsBet NY is offering two risk-free bets worth up to a total of for those who register with their sportsbook. One risk-free bet is worth $500 on a fixed odds wager, while the other is worth up to $1,500 on a PointsBetting wager.

This sportsbook takes things to the next level with their proprietary PointsBetting system. This is a high-risk, high-reward option where your final payout can change at any moment before a game ends. If you win a wager by two points, then you win two times the wager.

For example, if you bet $10 on the over on a 200-point total in an NBA game and the final total is 202 points, you would win $20. If the final total was 210 points, your wager is multiplied by 10 and you’d win $100. Points Betting is risky because you could lose by the same multiples if a game like this went under the 200-point total.

Either way, the $1,500 risk-free bet promo available through the PointsBetting system cuts the risk out of the equation. If you lose your first wager through PointsBetting, you’ll get a refund in site credit up to $1,500. This is just one of the two main PointsBet promos available to New Yorkers registering with this world-class sportsbook.

It will be interesting to see what kind of action PointsBet draws when they go-live in the Empire State.
