Mobile betting company, PointsBet (PBH) has received approval and has now launched in Indiana.

The company received the Moblie Sports Wagering Launch Authorisation from the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC).

With the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament starting soon, PointsBet says the launch has positioned the company well. The tournament begins on March 17.
