To help celebrate the occasion, PointsBet will provide West Virginia clients with a special signup offer – within one hour of creating a PointsBet account, all new clients will receive a $20 free bet. Best of all, absolutely no deposit or bet placement is required! PointsBet will also unveil the “Take Me Home” booster, which will offer clients even money +100 odds for any MLB team to score just one run on Sunday, August 15.
PointsBet has additionally stated its plans to launch its proprietary online casino product in West Virginia in the near future.
As the official, exclusive sports betting partner of NBC Sports, PointsBet will utilize the media giant’s premium television and digital assets to promote the PointsBet brand.
