Sports betting is sinking its roots in Ohio and one of the top welcome promotions on the market is our PointsBet promo code, which can earn you up to $2,000 in second chance betting on any game, including the stellar NBA Thursday on TNT schedule featuring these two games:

PointsBet Ohio promo code: How to claim your $2,000 in second-chance bets for NBA on TNT Thursday

If you reside in Ohio and haven’t signed up for PointsBet in the past, you are eligible to claim this PointsBet welcome bonus.

Simply follow one of the PointsBet Ohio promo code links (no promo code needed) on this page to get started with the two deals. Here’s the first:

• A second-chance bet worth up to $1,500 on your first Points Betting Wager.

PointsBet has a unique approach to the world of sports betting with its “PointsBetting” wager system. This type of betting means that your return is determined by the final score. The more accurate you are with your bet, the more money you win.

It is different from traditional betting, but don’t worry, because PointsBet will cover your first PointsBetting wager with a second chance as long as the value falls in between $10 and $1500.

Here’s the second part of the deal:

• Get your first traditional fixed odds wager as a second chance bet worth up to $500.

Just like the first offer, your first wager on a traditional fixed odds market is also covered up to $500. Put the two together and this means in total you can place up to $2,000 in wagers and get a second chance if they don’t win.

To get going at PointsBet in Ohio, simply follow the easy steps below:

• Click the PointsBet promo code link. You don’t need to enter a code.
• Select Ohio (you must be within state borders to play) and click ‘Register.’
• Fill in the fields required from the sportsbook.
• Deposit $10 or more into your account and place a bet on a Thursday night NBA game.

PointsBet Ohio promo code: NBA on TNT Thursday preview, best NBA promotions

Thursday’s NBA on TNT match-ups feature the two teams in the Eastern Conference with the best records as the Boston Celtics come to Brooklyn to take on the Nets.

The NBA season is at the midway point and both teams are already fighting for the top seed.

The second game on TNT features the Lakers hosting the Dallas Mavericks.

LeBron James is closing in on the NBA’s all-time scoring mark, but the Lakers are below .500 and will have their hands full with the Mavericks especially if Mavs star Luka Doncic returns from his ankle injury.

On top of the many betting options at PointsBet, there are also ongoing promos including:

• PointsBet Rewards: Earn rewards for every bet you place.
• Live SGP: Create a same game parlay while a game is taking place.
• Partial cash out: Claim some of your winnings live if a cash out option comes available, and let the rest of your bet ride until the end.
