The margin is the bookmaker's built-in fee: the amount by which its implied probabilities exceed 100%. A 5.95% margin means that, on a typical pointsbet market, prices pay out 5.95% less than a fair-value book would. Omenizer's fair prices remove this margin using sharp reference sources — the methodology explains how.
FAQ
- Is pointsbet legit?
- Omenizer has not yet verified which company operates pointsbet or what licence it holds — a gap in our research rather than a finding against the book. Independently of that, Omenizer has measured 101 pointsbet markets in the last 7 days against the rest of the market, so its prices are observable rather than taken on trust. We publish the checks we can evidence and flag the ones we cannot — we do not certify bookmakers.
- Who owns pointsbet?
- Omenizer has not yet verified the company behind pointsbet. We record an operator only when we have read it on the operator's own site or a regulator's register, so this is an unfilled gap rather than a guess we declined to make.
