Most iGaming guides are vague. This one is not — every step here is specific, actionable, and based on how the platform actually works.
What You Need First
- A valid email address and a phone number (for SMS verification).
- Government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, or national ID) for identity verification.
- A funded account with a debit/credit card, or an account with an e-wallet like PayPal or Skrill.
- Stable internet connection — no minimum speed, but avoid public Wi-Fi for deposits.
- Clear understanding of problem gambling resources — set deposit limits before you start.
Account Setup
- Visit https://pointsbet-au.org/ and click the yellow “Join Now” button on the top right.
- Fill in your personal details: full name, date of birth, address, email, and phone number. Use exactly what’s on your ID.
- Create a username and a strong password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).
- Complete the security question and accept the terms. Check the box for bonus opt-in if you want the welcome offer.
- Verify your account via the email link and then via SMS code. You may need to upload ID later for first withdrawal.
- Make your first deposit using a method that triggers the bonus (e.g., Visa debit). Minimum deposit is usually $10–$30.
Mobile & Browser Access
PointsBet provides a mobile-optimised website that works smoothly on any device. For the best experience, save the site to your home screen as a progressive web app (PWA) — open Safari or Chrome, tap the share icon, then “Add to Home Screen.” This gives you one-tap access, push notifications, and a full-screen interface. No download from an app store is required. The platform automatically adjusts to your screen size, and all features — including live betting, cash-out, and deposits — are available on mobile.
If you prefer a native app, PointsBet also offers downloadable apps for both iOS and Android directly from their respective stores. However, the PWA approach avoids storage clutter and updates automatically.
Maximising Your Bonus
Welcome bonuses are designed to give you extra value, but only if you understand the maths. Let’s use a realistic example based on a typical PointsBet offer: a 100% deposit match up to $250.
Important: Bonus terms vary; always check the wagering requirements and minimum odds before claiming.
- You deposit $100.
- PointsBet matches it with $100 in bonus funds — total balance = $200.
- The bonus must be wagered 1x on multi-bets with at least two selections, each at odds of 1.50 or higher.
- Conversion calculation: You place a $200 multi-bet (using both deposit and bonus) at combined odds of 3.00. If it wins, you receive $200 × 3.00 = $600. The $100 bonus is removed (or only profit from bonus bets is cashable — read terms). In many cases, only the profit from the bonus portion is withdrawable. To be safe, assume the bonus is non-cashable and only winnings from it become real money. So your cash-out would be: your $100 deposit returned + ($600 – $200) = $500. That’s a 5x return on your original $100.
- If the bet loses, you lose only your $100 deposit, and the bonus is gone.
Formula: Total Return = (Deposit × Odds) + (Bonus × (Odds – 1)) if bonus is non-cashable. For the example: ($100 × 3.00) + ($100 × (3.00 – 1)) = $300 + $200 = $500.
To maximise value, look for multi-bets with odds just above the minimum requirement and avoid long-shots that decrease win probability.

Extra Tips
To stretch your bankroll further, focus on games and markets with high RTP (Return to Player). In the sportsbook, betting on major leagues with low margins gives better value. For casino games, choose slots with RTP above 96% and avoid those below 92%. The table below summarises typical RTP ranges by category.
| Game Category | Typical RTP Range | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Online Slots (high variance) | 94% – 98% | Stick to titles with RTP ≥96% (e.g., Blood Suckers). |
| Table games (Blackjack, Baccarat) | 99% – 99.5% | Best value — learn basic strategy for blackjack. |
| Roulette (European) | 97.3% | Good; avoid American roulette (94.74%). |
| Keno & Scratch Cards | 75% – 90% | Avoid — these are high house-edge games. |
Always read the game rules and check the RTP in the info section. For live dealer games, RTP is similar to RNG table games but may vary slightly.
