PointsBet Sportsbook New York 

PointsBet Sportsbook is up and running in New York as the sixth online sports betting app to launch in the state. The Australian-based bookmaker was first launched in 2015 and has been available for U.S. bettors since it began offering its online sports betting platform in New Jersey in January 2019. 

This Sportsbook was launched in the Empire State in January 2022, two weeks after mobile sports betting went live. While New York has the country’s highest tax rate for online gaming providers, the largest legal online betting market in the U.S. hosts nine online sportsbooks. 

The provider has a partnership with NBC Sports Group in New York, which allows it to provide gameday integrations to SportsNet New York (SNY), which covers pre and postgame for the New York Jets and broadcasts New York Mets games.     

Online sportsbooks in New York aren’t required to have a land-based partner as in other markets, meaning there is no retail location available for PointsBets Sportsbook. However, the bookmaker holds licenses in 14 states where new customers can sign up to wager their favorite sports online. 

The New York State Gaming Commission is the agency that licenses and regulates all forms of gaming and online sports betting.   

Unique PointsBet Sportsbook Features In New York

PointsBet Sportsbook isn’t among the most popular providers in the state but has many of the same features as other online sportsbooks, plus a unique type of betting only found at PointsBet. 

In addition, a few customer promotions are also available for loyal players to earn extra cash while betting on their favorite sports. Here are some of the features available for bettors at PointsBet New York Sportsbook:

Pointsbetting

Pointsbetting is a unique and lucrative betting format only available at PointsBet Sportsbook. This betting option is only available on specific fixed-odds events where players can win or lose more money depending on the event’s outcome. 

Hitting a winning Pointsbetting wager can significantly increase the payout amount on a winning bet and multiply the amount lost. For example, picking your favorite NBA team to score over 120 points is a winning bet, but if they score 130, the bet pays 10x the wager (130-120). However, if they only score 115, the bettor loses 5x the stake (120-115). 

Live Betting

Mainly all online sportsbooks offer live betting as a wagering option. However, players can bet more quickly using the PointsBet’ Lightning Bets’ feature. In addition, bettors can wager on every play of their favorite events in all major sports leagues, including some popular European betting markets. 

Live Streaming

One of the newest features at PointBet Sportsbook New York is only available for a few sporting events like tennis, soccer, and eSports. Still, the provider expects to offer additional sports markets as the mobile app is developed further. 

Live Same-Game Parlay

Bettors can’t find this PointsBet New York feature at other online sportsbooks. This feature offers players live, in-game parlay betting on the NFL and NBA markets, where they can build parlays during commercial breaks throughout the game. All bettors must do is locate the contest they’d like to wager, click on the ‘Same Game Parlay’ tab, choose the betting market, and start building their parlay.  

Early Cashouts

PointsBet New York players that place a bet in sports markets that offer an early cash out can settle the wager anytime before the end of the event for less than the original odds. This helps players cut their losses if they don’t feel confident that the result of their original wager will be a winner.
