What we have seen from PointsBet so far in other states is that they offer maximum entertainment by providing best in industry promotions and innovative products which enhance the bettors overall experience. PointsBet aims to provide more markets on the major sports than any other bookmaker. Now that is an admirable goal if ever I have heard one!
