Pointsbet Brings Online Sports Betting to Ohio

Operating out of Australia, PointsBet is not that well known as an online/mobile sports betting operator, but they have actually secured a nice little place among the U.S. sports betting community. As such, PointsBet is a viable option for Ohio sports bettors.

PointsBet's sports betting platform has a classic feel to it. The entire platform is very easy to navigate, making it a perfect choice for novice or recreational sports bettors. The platform was ideally developed for mobile device users who are using mobile devices that are compatible with the Apple (iOS) and Android operating systems. The platform has also been optimized for PC users with a standard web browser.

They will also be posting event markets like World Cup Soccer and the Olympics. NCAA BB and NCAA FB will also be available in the U.S.

By reputation, BetMGM's management has successfully communicated to the betting public that they are willing to accept very large wagers from high rollers.

Bonuses and Promotions

That includes the requisite Refer-A-Friend offer, plus intermittent bonuses that feature profit boost options, reload bonus, and bet credits from losing bets.

The operator's current welcome offer comes with five days of one bet credit each day up to a max of $50 per bet. That adds up to a possible total bonus of $250.
