With the NJ sports betting market raging on, it can be difficult to differentiate the NJ online sportsbooks from one another. However, PointsBet Sportsbook offers a feature that may just lure in a new crop of customers from market leaders like DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook.

Our exclusive PointsBet Promo Code “BETNJXL” provides new players with 2 FREE free bets adding up to $2,000. This free bonus offer is currently the best available to new sports bettors in New Jersey.

PointsBet is an Australian-based company that launched in 2017. As the first Australian company to offer sports betting, PointsBet’s intent is to provide a betting experience that is much different from the norm that we’ve grown accustomed to here in New Jersey.

5 Risk-Free Bets up to $500

In addition to PointsBet’s excellent new-user $2,000 risk-free-bet offer (two total bets), this quality online sportsbook is also offering two risk-free bets up to $500 (each maximized at $100).

PointsBet Promos and Free Bets

There are many perks and free bonus bets for new players at PointsBet. New players will see 3 different offers with varying free bonus bets and deposit bonus offers.

The BetNewJersey.com free bonus offer is currently one of the best available for NJ online sportsbooks. Simply deposit $50 and bet with $150 in your PointsBet account. That equates to a $200 deposit bonus!

PointsBet also offers a ton of odds boost specials and prop bet specials across all available sports.

PointsBet “Karma Kommittee”

Good karma bets are something you don’t come across too often in the sports betting world. Here is how it works at Points Bet. When Duke basketball player Zion Williamson’s shoe exploded 30 seconds into the game against Duke, all bets on Duke were refunded. Again, unorthodox for a sportsbook to do something like this, but great marketing!

⚠️Karma Kommittee Ruling⚠️

After much deliberation and hand-gesturing, the Karma Kommittee has decided to refund all pregame Purdue single bets on the moneyline and +4.5 spread bets in FULL!

Lose 1 leg of Parlay & Stil Win

Lastly, parlay’s can be exciting, especially ones with numerous legs. However, there is nothing more frustrating than when 7 out of the 8 legs win and it blows up on the last game of the leg. Well, PointsBet offers some protection. On parlays with four or more legs, if one leg fails, you will be refunded up to $100 in bonus bets. The only catch, though, is that each leg needed to be a minimum of -500 and the total parlay of +100 or more. PointsBet has numerous things to wager on, but if there is something you cannot find, simply tweet them @PointsBetUSA and they will consider creating the bet. Simply fantastic customer service and innovative marketing ideas.

How Does “PointsBetting” Work?

Well, they offer a “PointsBetting” feature that allows customers to win even more money than before when it comes to betting on an event. For example, say you have a football game between the New York Giants and New York Jets and the total points is set at 42. Assuming you placed a $10 bet, if the score goes one point over, you win $10 multiplied by the amount of “units” (in this case points) it went over. Thus, you’d win just $10. However, say the game went way over and the combined score was 62. That’s 20 points over. From there, you’d multiply your $10 wager by the 20 and you’d win $200. While this is great on the winning side, it comes with the same risk on the losing side. If the total is set at 42 and they put up 16 (like the total points from Super Bowl LIII), that’s 26 less and now you lose a whopping $260.

What Makes PointsBet Different?

It can either be extremely lucrative or devastating to a user, so be sure to use this with caution. Essentially, the way it works is like this: the Cleveland Browns are three-point favorites over the Carolina Panthers. For the winning side of it, say you bet $100 for them to cover, but they win the game by five points. In this case, you’d take the difference in the spread and the actual amount won by (two) and multiply it by your original wager. Now, you went from just trying to win $100 to $200. Conversely, on the losing side, say it’s the same situation, and the Browns lose by a touchdown. Here, instead of taking the difference, you take the original spread of three and add it to the amount lost and multiply it. Now, you’ve lost $1000 just like that. But as the old axiom goes, “without risk, there is no reward.” To bet with PointsBet, a user must be in the state of New Jersey. The company tracks that by using geolocation, which will ask users to search their location via their IP address. If you’re not in the state, you will not be allowed to bet. You can, however, deposit and withdraw anywhere.

Huge Value Potential on Prop Bets

This expands beyond points, too. Some other things you can bet on could be quarterback completion percentage, receiving/rushing yards or longest field goal. The prospect of in-game or live betting growth is huge in NJ and any other regulated sports betting markets. With 70% of all total bets in the U.K. placed via in-game events, PointsBet is set to attract savvy bettors with a big appetite for risk here in the U.S. With legal sports betting ready to explode, innovation will be key to differentiate which places customers should go. While unorthodox in the commonplace betting setting, this is definitely innovative. We will be closely monitoring the revenue of PointsBet each month to see how they are being embraced by the NJ Sports betting community.
