Before depositing at any online casino, take five minutes to read this checklist — it covers the steps most players skip. The Pointsbet app (available as a progressive web app) offers a streamlined mobile experience, but knowing the ins and outs will save you time and money.

Getting Ready

• Ensure your device runs iOS 12+ or Android 7+ for optimal performance. The Pointsbet app is a PWA — simply launch from your browser and add to home screen.
• Have a valid government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport) ready for KYC verification.
• Prepare a payment method: credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard), e-wallet (PayPal, Skrill), or bank transfer.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) through your account settings for added security.
• Check local gambling laws — Pointsbet operates under a Curacao license, so winnings may be subject to local tax in some jurisdictions.
• Set a budget and time limit before you start. Use the app’s built-in deposit and session limit tools.

Step-by-Step Sign-Up

1. Open the Pointsbet app mobile-optimized website in your browser. Tap the share icon and select “Add to Home Screen” to create an app-like shortcut.
2. Click the “Sign Up” button — usually located at the top right of the homepage.
3. Fill in your personal details: full name, date of birth, email address, and phone number.
4. Create a strong password (minimum 8 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).
5. Select your preferred currency and enter your residential address.
6. Agree to the terms and conditions. Optionally, enable marketing emails (you can opt out later).
7. Complete the KYC verification by uploading a photo of your ID and a recent utility bill. This usually takes 24–48 hours.
8. Make your first deposit to claim any welcome bonus — check the promotions page for current offers.

Wagering Calculation

Understanding wagering requirements helps you evaluate bonus value. Suppose you claim a 100% match bonus up to $200 with a 20x wagering requirement on the bonus amount. Here’s how to calculate:

• Step 1: Determine total playable amount: Deposit $100 + Bonus $100 = $200.
• Step 2: Calculate total wagering required: Bonus × Wagering multiplier = $100 × 20 = $2,000.
• Step 3: Factoring in game contributions: Slots contribute 100%, table games contribute 20% (for example). If you play only slots, you need to wager $2,000. If playing blackjack (20% contribution), effective wagering = $2,000 / 20% = $10,000.
• Step 4: Expected loss during wagering: For a $2,000 wagering on slots with 96% RTP, expected loss = $2,000 × (1 – 0.96) = $80. So from your $200 initial balance, you’d expect to lose $80, leaving $120 of bonus value (minus withdrawal restrictions).

Always read the full bonus terms for max bet limits and eligible games.

Money In, Money Out

Deposits are instant with cards and e-wallets. Withdrawals typically take 1–3 business days for e-wallets, 3–7 days for bank transfers. Minimum deposit: $10. Minimum withdrawal: $20. No fees from Pointsbet, but your bank may charge. To withdraw, go to the “Cashier” section, select withdrawal method, enter amount, and confirm. Verification must be completed before your first withdrawal.

Safety & Licensing

Pointsbet holds a Curacao eGaming license (license number 8048/JAZ). The platform uses SSL encryption to protect your data. Two-factor authentication is recommended. Important: Curacao-licensed casinos do not deduct local taxes automatically; you may need to report winnings yourself. Always play responsibly and use the app’s self-exclusion tools if needed.
