PointsBet : Legal website in the U.S.

The PointsBet website will be available soon in Legal-Gambling-USA.com.

Pointsbet Brings Online Sports Betting to Iowa

After a year and a half of offering sports betting services to Iowa residents, PointsBet Iowa remains one of the state's top and most popular online/mobile bookmakers.

It would be fair to say that the PointsBet website and mobile app follow a rather generic format. The home landing page (red/black/white decor) is devoted to future odds betting options and administrative information. To get to the sports betting options, the bettor can use a navigation bar that is easy to locate and use.

This is clearly a full-service betting operator that is seeking to make sure Iowa sports bettors have plenty of betting markets and options from which to choose.

Betting Markets

While PointsBet Iowa's focus is on providing access to U.S. related betting markets, they do a good job of making sure true sport gambling enthusiasts have access to many of the top betting markets from all over the world.

PointsBet offers betting access to the following markets in the U.S.: NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, NCAA BB (Women's and Men's), and NCAA FB.

At the international level, the available betting markets include top international professional soccer leagues, Canadian Football League, Aussie Rules Football, rugby, cricket, darts, and basketball.

The bookmaker's list of secondary sports markets includes auto sports, boxing, MMA, tennis, golf, and volleyball.

Finally, PointsBet does take bets on major sports events such as The Super Bowl and World Cup Soccer.

Betting Options

Since bettors tend to enjoy having access to a full range of betting options, PointsBet is more than happy to oblige. Currently, PointsBet offers the following betting options: straight bets (money line and point spreads), parlays, teasers, futures odds betting, proper bets, and line in-game betting.

Bonuses and Promotions

After landing on the PointsBet Iowa Landing page, it's fair to say PointsBet bettors are given plenty of opportunities to gain extra value.

The bonus list starts with a really nice welcome offer that include five second chance bets up to $250 at sign up. The player must create an account with Pointsbet, make a deposit, and bet on a qualifying event. During your 1st 5 days betting at PointsBet, if your first fixed odds cash bet of the day doesn't win, get a $50 second chance at bet credits.

Beyond this terrific welcome offer, the website currently lists at least 10 other intermittent betting and deposit bonus offers.

Banking

Currently, PointsBet Iowa will accept deposits via the following options: online banking transfers, VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal.

Final Thoughts

It's easy to recommend PointsBet based on the sheer number of betting markets and options the website has in its offering. It's also nice to see a comprehensive list of bonuses that are really second to none when compared to other bookmakers operating in the state.
