PointsBet Louisiana Promo Code - Sportsbook App Review - December 2024

PointsBet Sportsbook started life in 2017 as an Australian-based betting company, but the brand has swiftly expanded throughout North America. Now able to offer legal sports betting in 13 U.S. states, the brand recently added a license from the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to its approvals in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and many other high-profile markets.

Best known for its signature PointsBetting markets - an option for experienced bettors where the amount won or lost is directly affected by the score in a game - PointsBet provides a unique user experience compared to other online sportsbooks in the state of Louisiana.

As part of its launch, PointsBet will offer mobile sports betting courtesy of iOS and Android apps, delivering Louisiana sports fans a comprehensive wagering experience. In this review, we'll consider how the brand stacks up against other local online sportsbooks by rating its market selection, odds, promotions, and the range of features offered to PointsBet users.

Following its September launch, PointsBet has presented several promotions to LA bettors. These include not only the second-chance rewards we mentioned earlier, but also a range of daily incentives such as boosts, bonus bets, and more - and all bonuses come with zero wagering.

PointsBet's Promos at Louisiana Sportsbook:

Having compared NFL football season moneylines against DraftKings Louisiana and BetMGM Louisiana, we can say that PointsBet offers competitive odds with scope for bigger profits. As you can see from the table below, you can often find slightly better prices on favorites, while the underdog markets don't give an inch on the competition, making it a very solid offering.

When comparing PointsBet to Wynnbet Louisiana, the brand stacks up pretty favorably. It offers 18 sports, which is exactly double the amount available at Wynnbet. In terms of market detail, PointsBet again holds the edge thanks to its PointsBetting line and Name A Bet options.

Popular Sports Betting Options

• Point Spreads: When betting on a points spread, customers are aiming to predict the margin of victory in a match. The tighter the points spread, the better the odds offered.
• Moneylines: Available at all brands in the sports betting industry, moneylines simply require you to pick a winner in sporting events.
• Total Lines: For a totals bet, players are required to predict the combined score (or total points) recorded by both teams in a single contest.
• Parlays: Parlays are a way of combining multiple bets on one slip for bigger odds. Note your bet wins only if all selected legs are successful.
• Futures: Futures take a longer-term view of betting and require you to pick an outright winner such as the champions of this year's college football season.
• Prop Bets: Player props require you to predict individual actions in a game such as the scorer of the next touchdown in a football match or the next home run in an MLB game.

• Live streams and Live Betting
• Partial Cash Outs
• PointsBetting Bet Feature
• Karma Kommittee Refunds
• Live Same Game Parlays on NFL & NBA

In terms of features, the PointsBet website offers some unique options for bettors in the Bayou State. While BetRivers Louisiana can compete with the brand in terms of live streams and live betting coverage, it lacks a PointsBetting wager option for seasoned bettors. PointsBet also allows you to partially cash out your bets at any point, while if one of your wagers is put in jeopardy by a season-ending injury, you may be eligible for a Karma Kommittee refund.

Same game parlays have become extremely popular in the sports betting industry. Up until recently, though, they’ve only been available as a pre-game betting option. PointsBet Louisiana changes this with live same game parlays, which let you build these wagers during matches. It currently offers live same game parlay bets for NFL and NBA games.

Perhaps the biggest drawback of PointsBet Sportsbook is the number of payment methods available. While most major deposit options have been supported since the September launch and the minimum transaction is just $5, the methods available for withdrawal are a bit lacking.

• iOS Rating: 4.8/5
• Android Rating: 4.7/5

The PointsBet app is generally considered to be one of the better options available to Louisiana customers. With solid scores in both the Apple App and Google Play Store, the app offers all of the same features as the PointsBet website in a more intuitive, mobile-friendly package. With responsive live betting markets and reliable live streaming, it's one of the more robust betting apps around and bettors can still claim their bonus bets on mobile without using a promo code. A slight drawback is the response times from customer support, but other than this, PointsBet provides a clean and easy-to-navigate app on both devices that's incredibly user-friendly.

How to Download the PointsBet App in Lousiana

1. Visit the homepage of the PointsBet Louisiana website.
2. Use the Apple or Android buttons to start your download.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the app on your device.
4. Log in using your existing details or open a new account while using our promo code.

PointsBet offers a simple but useful rewards program that allows you to earn points on every wager placed. Customers will earn 1 point for every $5 placed on a spread or other type of fixed wager, 1 point for every $1 placed on parlays, and 1 point for every $1 won or lost on PointsBetting. Points earned can then later be redeemed for bet credits to use on the site.

Comparison Summary:

• PointsBet Sportsbook Louisiana: Best for PointsBetting and odds quality
• Caesars sportsbook Louisiana: Best for Caesars Reward Program
• FanDuel sportsbook Louisiana: Best for fast payment options

Despite the Louisiana launch coming as recently as September, there's already very little to choose between PointsBet and the other top operators in the state. As you can see from the table above, the platform performs well across most categories and arguably shades things in terms of its range of features and overall odds quality. Although it can't compete with Caesars for loyalty rewards or FanDuel for its range of payment options, it's still a great option for Louisiana bettors that comes with some truly unique betting options.

3. Provide personal details, including your name, email, D.O.B., address, and the last four digits of your social security number.

One of the main drawbacks of PointsBet is the paucity of its payment options. While deposits are well covered and the minimum transaction is $5, the range of withdrawal methods is a bit skinny. Processing times can also take five days, with none of the eWallet methods available.

How to Deposit and Make a Withdrawal

1. Visit the cashier section of the PointsBet website.
2. Choose an available deposit or withdrawal option.
3. Enter the requested details for your chosen method.

Responsible Betting Options for Louisiana Sports Bettors

PointsBet provides a dedicated responsible gambling page with contact information for a number of in-state charities. The page includes detailed guidelines about how to identify signs of problem gambling, as well as advice about setting up account limits and longer-term bans.

In terms of the range of betting options and markets available, PointsBet Louisiana is pretty comparable to PointsBet Illinois sportsbook and PointsBet New York. The main difference customers need to be aware of is that they must be based in one of the 55 legal parishes to play.

When it comes to new markets, the brand is always looking to expand its presence. It launched its PointsBet Maryland sportsbook in November. It's now preparing to establish its presence in OH with its PointsBet Ohio sportsbook.

Retail Location and Partnership

At the time of writing, PointsBet is not currently partnered with a land-based casino resort in Louisiana. This differs from the brand's approach elsewhere, for example in Michigan, where it teamed up with the Northern Waters Casino Resort to offer retail sports betting.

• Partner Address: N/A
• Opening Hours: N/A

Louisiana Gaming Control Board Regulations and Requirements

LGCB regulations allow online sportsbooks to run up to two skins in any of Louisiana's 55 legal parishes. Additional rules in the state include:

• Professional, college and amateur sports betting are all allowed.
• Prop bets are allowed with some exceptions, including injury and disciplinary betting.
• Bettors must be at least 21 years old to place a bet either in person or online.
• All betting servers must be located in Louisiana and will be geofenced to the 55 parishes where sports betting is legal.

All things considered, PointsBet promises to be one of the top online sportsbooks in Louisiana. The site offers an incredible range of markets, including exclusive PointsBetting options that customers won't find anywhere else. Couple that with truly unique features and a promo code offer that entitles you to bonus bets and it's clearly a great choice for LA bettors.
