The first thing you need to do before you can place a wager on the pointsbet app is create an account. Head to the official website or tap the “Download” button on your mobile device – the process is the same on iOS and Android. You’ll be asked for a name, email address, date of birth and a secure password. Keep your details consistent with any identification you’ll later provide; mismatched info can delay verification.
Once you’ve submitted the form, an email with a verification link lands in your inbox. Click it, then you’ll be prompted to confirm your Australian residency. After that, you can log in and start exploring the app. If you want to see the full betting menu right away, check out the pointsbet jets page for a quick overview of the markets.
Australian regulations require Pointsbet to run a Know‑Your‑Customer (KYC) check before any withdrawals. Have a scanned copy of your driver’s licence or passport ready, plus a recent utility bill to prove your address. Upload these documents through the app’s “My Account” → “Verification” section; most users are approved within a few hours, though peak times can stretch to 24 hours.
Pointsbet’s native app is built for smooth betting on the move. It’s available from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, but you’ll notice it’s not listed under “Games” – it sits in the “Sports” category. Search “Pointsbet” and look for the blue logo with a white “P”. Tap “Install”, wait for the download, then open the app and log in with the credentials you just created.
The app supports Android 8.0+ and iOS 13+. If you run an older OS, you’ll still be able to use the mobile‑optimized website, but you’ll miss out on push notifications and the fastest loading times. After logging in, enable push alerts – they’ll warn you about live odds changes, cash‑out opportunities and limited‑time bonuses.
