Overview of VPNs on PointsBet

Last Updated:

PointsBet is an online sportsbook platform that allows users to place bets on various sporting events. Like other online sportsbooks, ensuring compliance with state laws regarding online sports betting is a top priority for PointsBet.

The company’s terms of service require users to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding online sports betting. PointsBet uses geolocation technology to verify users’ locations and ensure compliance with state laws. While PointsBet does not explicitly prohibit the use of VPNs, using a VPN to bypass geolocation technology is not allowed, and users who violate this policy may have their accounts closed, and their winnings withheld.

As with other online sportsbooks, using a VPN to access PointsBet or other online sportsbooks from a prohibited location is not only a violation of the platform’s policies but can also be a violation of state and federal laws. Users who violate state or federal laws may face legal consequences, including fines or imprisonment.
