Setting up an account at an online casino is quick, but knowing exactly what to expect at each step saves time and frustration. Whether you plan to use the official website or the pointsbet app, the process is streamlined for new players.
Getting Ready
Before you start, have these items on hand:
- A valid email address you can access immediately.
- A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license) for verification.
- Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement, dated within 3 months).
- A payment method – credit/debit card, e-wallet, or bank transfer.
- A stable internet connection – the pointsbet app requires Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- A device with a modern browser or the progressive web app (PWA) installed from the browser menu.
Creating Your Account
Follow these steps to register:
- Open the pointsbet website or launch the pointsbet app from your browser. Click the “Join” or “Sign Up” button.
- Fill in your personal details: full name, date of birth, email, and phone number. Use real information – it will be verified later.
- Create a strong password (8+ characters with numbers and symbols). This is your primary key for the login process.
- Accept the terms and conditions, then submit the form. You will receive a confirmation email.
- Click the link in the email to verify your address. After that, you can proceed to your first login.
- Complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process by uploading your ID and proof of address. This usually takes 24-48 hours.
Calculating Your Bonus
Most new players receive a welcome bonus. Let’s assume a 100% deposit match up to $200 with a 35x wagering requirement on the deposit plus bonus. If you deposit $50, you get $50 bonus, giving a total balance of $100. The wagering requirement is: (deposit + bonus) × wagering multiplier = ($50 + $50) × 35 = $3,500. You must wager $3,500 before withdrawing any winnings from the bonus. The formula is: (D + B) × WR = Total Wagering, where D = deposit, B = bonus, WR = wagering requirement multiplier. For a $100 deposit aiming for the max $200 bonus: ($100 + $200) × 35 = $10,500. Note that slots contribute 100%, table games often contribute less (e.g., 10%). Always check the game contributions in the terms.
Is It Safe?
Security is a top priority. The platform uses 128-bit SSL encryption to protect your data during login and transactions. The site operates under a Curacao eGaming license, meaning it adheres to international standards. Important: Winnings from Curacao-licensed casinos may be subject to local income tax depending on your country of residence. You are responsible for reporting any gambling profits. Responsible gambling tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion) are available in the account settings.

Deposit and withdrawal methods include Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, bank transfer, and selected cryptocurrencies. The minimum deposit is $10. Withdrawals are processed within 24-48 hours for e-wallets, 3-5 business days for cards and bank transfers. For a complete list of accepted methods, visit Pointsbet login.
