PointsBet Stands Out Among Illinois Mobile Sportsbooks

The state of Illinois launched sports betting on March 9, but it wasn’t until this summer that the mobile industry really took off. BetRivers was the first mobile sportsbook app in the state, but it has since been joined by four other operators.

FanDuel and DraftKings, two of the biggest names in the sports betting industry, soon followed BetRivers, and it created a very competitive mobile sports betting industry. PointsBet and William Hill have also joined the industry, giving Illinois bettors some terrific betting options.

Even though all five options provide customers with some great betting opportunities, there is one sports betting operator that has stood out since launch. That company is Australian-based PointsBet, and there are a few key reasons that it is the best mobile sports betting operator in Illinois.

Promotions Set PointsBet Apart

All five of the mobile apps in Illinois have offered promotions or bonuses in an effort to lure in new customers. Customers have been able to enjoy “free” money from all of the operators, but PointsBet has continued to deliver since launch.

The promotions tab on the PointsBet mobile app is updated each day, and it features a ton of interesting betting options for customers. The popular “Make it Rain” promotion is applied to multiple sports, and customers are able to rack up the free bets by taking advantage of this promotion.

PointsBet also features “No Juice” NFL bets each Saturday, meaning that customers get their football bets in one day earlier at the best price in the industry. Bet $100 to win $100 at PointsBet, and that offer is not available anywhere else.

The promotions have slowed down at some of the other operators, but PointsBet has shown in other markets that they are committed to offering the best promotions.

Official Betting Partner of Chicago Bears

Earlier this week, the Chicago Bears and PointsBet announced a partnership that will make the company the official sports betting partner of the Chicago Bears. If you are a fan of the “Monsters of the Midway,” then PointsBet is the operator for you.

Through this partnership, PointsBet is committed to offering the best lines in the industry on Chicago Bears games each week, and it will also feature unique prop betting opportunities.

Customers will also have a chance to win some unique game day prizes through the mobile app.

Even if you are not a fan of the Chicago Bears, heading over to PointsBet to check out all of the Bears betting options is a good idea. You will not be disappointed.

Great Customer Service

Another thing that sets PointsBet apart from the other mobile sportsbooks is its customer service department. There are several ways to reach out to customer service, and the sportsbook provided an answer within 24 hours.

For customers that are looking for a quick answer, PointsBet offers a mobile chat option that is available through the mobile app. It’s great that customers can chat with a live customer service representative 24 hours a day.

PointsBet also features what is known as a “Karma Committee,” and they are the first sportsbook to offer this kind of service. The “Karma Committee” meets every single morning and takes a look at what has happened in the world of sports.

Earlier this season, PointsBet refunded bettors that placed a bet on the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread on the Denver Broncos. Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed three field goals and an extra point in that game, and the Karma Committee decided that bettors should not be penalized for his performance.

There aren’t other sportsbooks that offer this, and it’s all part of the great customer experience at PointsBet.
