Pointsbet at a glance
At a glance
Pointsbet places at #1,756 of 1,806 bookmakers we track and earns no live licence in tracked registers. The trust score and tier shown in the header above are broken down by 6 weighted components in the score panel below.
What's behind the 28/100
6 weighted checks, total 100. Each bar shows the score, weight, and what it means.
What this score means: Few or no active operator licences in tracked registers. Recourse in disputes may be limited.
Context: Measures how strong the strongest active licence is, not whether the brand is illegal to use in your country.
Evidence: Unclassified regulator: Ontario-AGCO
What this score means: Atlas could not verify corporate signals for this brand.
Evidence: No corporate-ownership disclosure found
What this score means: Multiple security signals failing. Mozilla Observatory grade poor or critical CVEs nearby.
Context: A technical measure of HTTP-header hardening and DNS hygiene, not evidence of a breach or unsafe funds.
Evidence: Mozilla Observatory: D
What this score means: Mixed review signals. Some platforms positive, others negative or sparse.
Evidence: Consumer reviews (wayback): 1.5star (82 reviews)
What this score means: No fraud-intel hits, no AML enforcement actions, no KEV CVEs on infrastructure.
Evidence: No threat-intel hits
What this score means: Operational signals weak: very young domain, residential hosting, or frequent infrastructure changes.
Context: Measures domain age and hosting tier; a newer or recently rebranded brand scores low here regardless of licence quality.
Evidence: Domain age: 0y
Pointsbet overview
Pointsbet is a sportsbook tracked in the SharkBetting Bookmaker Atlas. The brand was first registered online in 2025, giving it roughly 1 year of operating history. It holds 2 active licences, from AGCO and Australia-NTRWC.
Its SharkBetting Trust Score v2 sits at 34 out of 100 (high confidence, low band). By our methodology that is a low placing relative to the operators we track. Worth knowing before depositing: its strongest licence is a light-touch one by our tiering, which carries weaker dispute recourse than a top-regulator licence. Public review aggregators report 1.5 stars on an open consumer-review platform (82 reviews). Several independent data sources we hold flag concerns, so weigh the gaps against the rest before depositing.

Frequently asked questions
Is Pointsbet safe?
Pointsbet has a Trust Score of 28/100 with high data confidence. It rates poorly and shows multiple risk indicators: licensing 0/100, reviews 50/100, corporate 10/100, security 30/100. No active red flags are recorded against the brand.
What do third-party review platforms say about Pointsbet?
Pointsbet appears on multiple independent review aggregators that measure different aspects of player experience. An open consumer-review platform, which collects open consumer reviews, shows 1.5/5 across 82 reviews captured from a Wayback snapshot of pointsbet.com.au. Open consumer-review platforms reflect sentiment from any consumer who chooses to post; dispute-mediation services reflect how an operator behaves when disputes are escalated, so the two metrics measure different things.
Where is Pointsbet available?
Pointsbet accepts players from 3 jurisdictions per atlas data, including Canada, Ontario, Australia. Availability lists are derived from public terms-of-service pages and licence registers; geofencing rules can be tighter than what is publicly stated, and accounts opened from restricted IPs are usually voided. Always verify your specific country on the official site before depositing.
Is Pointsbet's site secure?
Pointsbet scores 30/100 on the Trust Score v2 security component, indicating noticeable hardening gaps. Signals include: Mozilla Observatory grade D; DNS hygiene: no SPF/DMARC/DKIM (-5). The security component blends HTTP-header hardening (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), TLS configuration, DNS hygiene (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), CDN/WAF presence, and hosting reputation; it does not assess the operator's internal security or breach history.
