The sudden growth of PointsBet 

PointsBet was launched initially in Australia with the intention of becoming a solid and trustworthy betting platform for the Aussie players.

Eventually, PointsBet made it to the United States of America, a nation known for its strict gambling regulations and restrictions that have left many operators with no other choice than to leave the market.

According to PointsBet representatives, United States is a lucrative jurisdiction that can be reached with discipline and hard work at all times.

Marketing strategies used by PointsBet 

PointsBet has definitely grown rapidly in the American territory and the rest of the world.

One of the main reasons behind its success is the incredible and efficient marketing strategies that it has used over the last few years. One of those strategies has been the partnerships it has made with several important brands and personalities.

For instance, PointsBet made a deal with Rip Hamilton, an NBA champion and 3-time All-star player to represent the brand as an ambassador all across the United States.

The deal has worked to perfection, alluring a high number of NBA fans to the betting platform is a short period of time.
