Resorts World Bet Sportsbook Review: PointsBet Power, Rough Edges
Backed by Genting's casino resorts and powered by PointsBet's app, Resorts World Bet offers competitive odds, a Name A Bet feature and inventive in-game promos. But there's no welcome bonus, few banking options and a desktop site that barely works.
Welcome offer
None, currently. Resorts World Bet previously ran a $250 first-bet offer but has pulled its welcome promotions. This may return, so it's worth checking back — for now, new customers get no sign-up bonus.
Other promotions
The ongoing offers are the draw: free bets for touchdowns (and home runs in MLB) when you opt in and place $50+ spread bets on select teams, UFC knockout insurance up to $25, and daily parlay boosts (one traditional, one single-game).
Payments
Restricted — five deposit methods, three for withdrawal, all $10 minimums, no Resorts World fees: ACH/eCheck, credit/debit card (debit only in NY), online banking (Trustly), PayNearMe and PayPal. PayPal withdrawals clear in 1–2 days; ACH and Trustly in 2–5. Note a $30 failed-deposit retry fee, so keep funds available.
Markets and odds
20 sports, plus the shared PointsBet Name A Bet feature that lets you request odds on markets not listed. In our NFL preseason moneyline test (49ers @ Texans) the odds matched PointsBet exactly — trailing DraftKings and FanDuel on the favorite but beating them on the underdog, all within a ±5 range.
User experience
The desktop site is essentially broken — bright and promising to look at, but pages repeatedly fail to load. The mobile browser, by contrast, is clean, crisp and responsive — a near-clone of the app and the only comfortable way to bet. The app itself mirrors PointsBet with its own coat of paint.
Support and responsible gambling
A well-organised FAQ (though light on payment limits), plus email and a live chat that accepts image and document uploads directly — handy for verification. Responsible gambling is a genuine strength: trained staff, deposit and time limits, and a self-exclusion program spanning partnered sites.
