This is a practical, step-by-step walkthrough: registration, verification, bonuses, and payments — no fluff.

- Access to a stable internet connection and a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- A payment method: credit/debit card, e-wallet (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller), or bank transfer.

- Be aware that PointsBet operates under a Curacao license; winnings may be subject to local tax – consult your tax advisor.

How Wagering Works
PointsBet horse racing offers fixed-odds betting. Odds are typically displayed in fractional format (e.g., 5/1, 10/3).
Example Calculation: You bet $10 on a horse at odds of 5/1 to win. The formula for profit is: Profit = Stake × (Numerator / Denominator). So Profit = $10 × (5/1) = $50. Total Return = Stake + Profit = $60. If the horse wins, you receive $60.
Each-Way Betting: An each-way bet consists of two bets: one to win and one to place (usually 1/4 or 1/5 of the win odds). Example: $5 each-way on a horse at 8/1 (each-way terms 1/4 odds for places 1-3). Win part: $5 × (8/1) = $40 profit. Place part: $5 × (8/1 × 1/4) = $5 × 2 = $10 profit. Total if horse wins: $5 (stake win) + $5 (stake place) + $40 + $10 = $60. If horse places but doesn’t win, you lose the win stake but keep the place part: $5 stake (place) + $10 profit = $15 return.
Decimal Odds Conversion: Fractional 5/1 = decimal 6.0 (returns = stake × decimal odds). So $10 × 6.0 = $60.

Licence & Player Protection
PointsBet holds a licence from the Government of Curacao. This licence ensures the operator follows fairness and security standards. However, unlike UKGC or MGA licences, Curacao does not require operators to contribute to local problem gambling funds. Players are advised to check their local laws: winnings from Curacao-licensed sites may be taxable in your country. Always gamble responsibly and set personal limits.
Fix It Fast
- Forgot password? Click “Forgot Password” on the login page. Enter your email to receive a reset link. If the email doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder.
- Deposit not showing? Refresh your account. If still missing, check your bank statement – if charged, contact support with transaction ID. Delays can occur due to bank processing.
- Withdrawal pending for days? Ensure your account is fully verified (ID, proof of address). If verified, contact live chat – typical processing is 24 hours.
- Login issues? Clear browser cache and cookies. Try a different browser or incognito mode. If using a VPN, disable it, as PointsBet may block VPN IPs.
- Bet not settling? Live bets are settled after the official result. If a race is postponed or abandoned, bets are voided and stakes returned. Contact support if delayed beyond 24 hours.

Insider Advice
Responsible gambling tools at PointsBet help you stay in control. Set a deposit limit (daily, weekly, or monthly) in your account settings. Use the session timer to remind you to take breaks. If you need a break, activate self-exclusion for a chosen period – from 24 hours to permanent closure. Contact support to request exclusion. Remember, gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money.
Always check the odds and track your bets. Use stake calculators to manage your bankroll. Never chase losses. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, seek help from organisations like GamCare or Gambling Therapy.
