The sign\u2011up process is deliberately simple: open the app, tap \u201cSign Up\u201d and fill in your name, date of birth, email and a strong password. Australian players must also provide a residential address and confirm they are over 18.<\/p>\n<p>After submitting the form you\u2019ll receive a verification email. Click the link inside, then the app will prompt you for a photo of a government\u2011issued ID (driver\u2019s licence or passport) and a selfie for KYC (Know Your Customer). This step protects you from fraud and is required by the Australian licensing authority.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"downloading-and-installing-the-pointsbet-app-on-android-ios\">Downloading and Installing the pointsbet app on Android &amp; iOS<\/h2>\n<p>The official PointsBet app is available directly from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Search for \u201cPointsBet\u201d and look for the blue logo with a white \u201cP\u201d. Tap \u201cInstall\u201d and wait a few moments while the app downloads.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, open the app and allow push notifications \u2013 they\u2019re the fastest way to get live odds updates and bonus alerts. If you encounter a \u201cBlocked\u201d message on Android, make sure your device allows installations from trusted sources, which you can enable in Settings\u202f\u2192\u202fSecurity.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"navigating-the-pointsbet-app-sportsbook-and-casino-features\">Navigating the pointsbet app \u2013 Sportsbook and Casino features<\/h2>\n<p>When you first log in, the home screen shows a split view: the left side hosts the Sportsbook, the right side the Casino. Swipe left or right to toggle between live betting, pre\u2011match markets and the casino lobby. Each market displays odds in decimal format, typical for Australian betting sites.<\/p>\n<p>The casino section includes slots, live dealer tables and a small poker room. Look for the \u201cLive Casino\u201d tab if you enjoy real\u2011time dealer interaction. The app also offers \u201cBet Builder\u201d tools, allowing you to combine several selections into a single parlay without leaving the screen.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"bonuses-and-promotions-on-mobile-what-the-pointsbet-app-offers\">Bonuses and Promotions on Mobile \u2013 What the pointsbet app offers<\/h2>\n<p>New users who register via the app can claim a welcome bonus worth up to AU$250 in matched bets.
