Fanatics acquired PointsBet's U.S. business
Fanatics announced completion of the U.S. acquisition on April 3, 2024. Its current sportsbook overview says customers and PointsBet technology were migrated into the Fanatics platform between August 2023 and April 2024.
PointsBet continues as a name in other contexts outside the migrated U.S. operation, so searchers must distinguish country and legal entity.
Ignore stale PointsBet US promotions
Old bonus codes, state pages, app reviews, and odds screenshots are not current U.S. signup guidance.
- Use Fanatics support for migrated account questions.
- Use current Fanatics state rules and promotions.
- Do not assume an old PointsBet price or feature still exists.
- Separate the sportsbook from Fanatics Markets prediction contracts.

Before you use this PointsBet US alternative guide
A good prediction market guide should help you make a more precise decision, not just explain the headline. Before trading, convert the market price into an implied probability, read the resolution criteria, and compare the contract with nearby markets. If your thesis depends on a news catalyst, check whether that catalyst directly affects settlement or only changes short-term sentiment.
The same checklist applies across Bitcoin, elections, sports, and other event contracts. A trade can look attractive because the payout is large, but payout alone does not create edge. Edge comes from a better probability estimate than the current price, plus enough liquidity to enter without giving away the advantage through spread and slippage.
Checklist for applying the guide to a live market
First, confirm that the market title and resolution source match the event you intend to trade. Second, compare the live price with your own estimate and write down the difference in percentage points. Third, check liquidity and maximum loss before sizing the position. Fourth, review related markets to see whether the same information has already been priced elsewhere. Fifth, decide what evidence would make you exit or update the thesis.
Alphascope supports that workflow through the odds board, AI predictions, and news impact pages. Use this guide as the educational layer, then use the live pages to check whether the current market still matches the setup described here.
How to know whether the setup is still current
A guide can explain the structure of a market, but the live price decides whether the setup is still actionable. Check when the market last moved, whether new information has arrived since the guide was written, and whether the strongest catalyst has already been priced in. If the market has moved far in the direction of the thesis, the remaining return may be too small for the risk.
If the market has not moved despite relevant news, review the resolution criteria before assuming traders missed the story. The market may be ignoring the news because it does not affect settlement. The best use of any guide is to understand the mechanics, then verify the current contract and price before making a decision.
