The Best Betting Sites in Canada in 2024

Our Score: 10/10

Betway’s got one of the best betting apps in Ontario. It received a 4.7 ranking on the iOS App Store, and a 4.2 ranking on Google Play.

What we liked most about the betting app was the fact that users are able to seamlessly transition through the app, just as you’re able to do on the desktop website.

All features are available on the app as well, and the app is kept up to date and seldom crashes.

Our Score: 10/10

Betway has plenty of payment of options to choose from. The most important one for us was of course Interac which users can use to deposit into their betting wallets, as well as withdraw from their accounts.

Aside from that, Betway also offer Visa, Mastercard, NeoSurf, ecoPayz, iDebit, and more!

Our Score: 9/10

Betway’s betting experience is a certainly a strength of theirs, but is an aspect that, if it were tweaked, would reach a 10/10 score for us.

The site is good to interact with, but if you’re delving deep into markets, they don’t provide navigation to get back to the original page you were browsing on. For example, if you’re looking to bet on a World Cup goalscorer, and decide that you don’t want to bet there, instead of returning to the outright page, you’d return to the overarching World Cup page.

Aside from that, the betting experience is good. Placing bets is easy, and the homepage doesn’t feel overrun with different options, making it a good option for both new and seasoned players.

6/10

Betway’s support could be significantly improved. Their live chat seems to be automated, which can be really unhelpful for those more niched questions and issues. Trying to email them was also tricky, as they took ages to respond.

Our recommendation is to join Betway social media groups (like on Facebook or Twitter), or use Reddit, because it’s likely that the issues you may or may not face have been faced before as well.

Our Score: 9/10

We felt that the betting experience on Bet365 was decent enough, but doesn’t compare to the likes of Betway and Coolbet for example.

The site appears bland, and almost spreadsheet-like in design.

This falls away a little more on the app, but all in all, the navigation is good, placing bets is easy, and the site is responsive, and feels good to interact with.

Our Score: 9/10

Bet365 offers an app to Canadian players, which can be downloaded on both the App Store and on Google Play. The app looks and feels to be cutting edge, as when it’s used on an iPhone device, you’re able to easily log in through Apple’s facial recognition feature.

Aside from that, you’re able to do everything you can on the desktop site on the app, and we actually preferred using the app because it felt cleaner.

Our Score: 10/10

Bet365 offers plenty of payment options, most popular amongst them being Interac of course. You can also make payments through Visa and Mastercard, iDebit and Bank Wire.

This is quite a solid list when compared to what else is out there, which is why they’ve been given the score that they have.

Our Score: 9/10

Our experience of Bet365’s support has only been positive. Through each of the channels, we’ve tried to reach them, we’ve managed to get a helpful response.

They have a live chat feature on their website, that looks to manned by an actual person, and they also offer phone and email support.

Our Score: 10/10

Bet365 is licensed in a number of jurisdictions, including Ontario, UK, Malta, USA, Greece, Argentina & more! Bet365 is 100% legit.

Our score: 8/10

In all honest, if you’re using BetVictor we recommend you do so on a mobile device, because the desktop site is pretty outdated, and is largely comparable to LeoVegas in this regard.

Otherwise, the betting site is easy enough to use, especially if you’re a racing fan, as there is a heavy focus on horse racing (especially UK races).

Our score: 9/10

BetVictor have a decent mobile website, but they really shine when it comes to the betting app they have on offer.

The app is available wherever you get your apps, and placing bets, making deposits, and getting your hands on your winnings is seamless.

Our score: 8/10

BetVictor have a solid range of payment options available for users to credit their betting accounts.

You can make payments through Visa, Mastercard, and a range of ewallets, ensuring that players with a range of payment preferences are well taken care of.

Our score: 8/10

BetVictor’s support is pretty solid. They offer users a 24/7 live chat, a telephone number and an email address. Each of these channels were offered genuine responses when we tried to contact them.

Our score: 10/10

BetVictor is licensed in Ontario, and is also licensed in the UK and Gibraltar.

Our Score: 8/10

The betting experience on LeoVegas is best when betting on mobile, or through the app. The desktop site leaves much to be desired, but LeoVegas is our mobile pick for a reason – more of that to come later.

All in all, betting on LeoVegas is pretty straightforward. It doesn’t feel like the homepage is overrun with options. For soccer, you can see three-way money lines, and for American sports you can see two-way money lines, totals, and points spreads.

All in all, LeoVegas provides an acceptable betting experience on their website, and a brilliant betting experience on their app.

Our Score: 10/10

LeoVegas is our mobile pick for a reason. It’s a mobile first operator, with a slick mobile website, and an award-winning betting app.

Navigating through the app is really easy, placing bets is a breeze, and all the features that you can access on the desktop site and mobile site are also available on the app.

Downloading LeoVegas's app is easy, It’s available for download where you get all of your apps.

What more would a mobile bettor want?

Our Score: 8/10

LeoVegas offer a wide range of payment options including Interac, Visa, Mastercard, iDebit, and more.

Depositing with them is also a process that is very simple, which means that for us, they get a high score in this department.

LeoVegas is another betting site to offer what we like to call the full suite of customer support channels. You can reach them on live chat, a toll-free number, and through an email address, and when we tested each of these methods, we got responses that felt legit.

Our score: 10/10

LeoVegas has received the license in Ontario, and is also licensed in a range of other territories, making them absolutely legit, and safe to use.

Our score: 8/10

Betano has worked to create a good betting experience for their Canadian users, showcasing popular sports, favorite competitions, and even some unique bets on various events throughout the year.

Features like early payout are also a really nice touch, especially for sports that can see major swings in score if top players get rested towards the end of the game when the win is locked up.

All in all, Betano has provided both new and experienced sharps with a quality betting experience with nice features to keep you engaged.

Our score: 7/10

Once Betano launched its mobile app on iOS and Android, the mobile experience went way up.

Not only do they have a very high app store rating, but the speed with which they update live odds is fantastic, and the sportbook + casino are all packaged into the same app letting you enjoy different types of betting easily.

Our score: 7/10

Betano has a pretty good range of payment options available for users to credit their betting accounts.

You can make payments through Visa, MasterCard, and a range of e-wallets, ensuring that players with a range of payment preferences are well taken care of.

Our score: 8/10

You can get in touch with Betano support over live chat and through email, both of which were fairly quick to respond.

Our score: 10/10

Betano is fully licensed in Ontario for sports and casino.

NEO.bet have a solid betting app, that is available for users throughout all of Canada. The app is easy to use, and is downloadable from both the app store, and the Google Play Store. If apps aren’t your thing, and you still want to bet on your mobile device; their mobile website is well optimized to both Android and iPhone users.

NEO.bet’s payment methods are somewhat limited compared to other bookmakers in Canada. Users are able to use Interac, but then, aside from Visa and Mastercard payments, users are only able to use PaySafe Card.

We think NEO.bet could start offering the likes of MuchBetter, and ecoPayz along with the limited payment options they’re offering right now.

NEO.bet’s betting interface may resonate with newer users, but we felt that at times that the interface was a bit too complicated, and a little off the wall compared to the other books users have access to.

The odds are displayed in a bit of a weird way, which can lead to mistaken bets, which nobody wants.

We were pretty disappointed with the support options that were available on NEO.bet. All the information we could find was in German, which, unless you speak that language, would be pretty unhelpful. They do also offer up a live chat, but the fact that you can’t access questions and answers in English was a bit of a red flag for us.

NEO.bet carries the license from AGCO (Ontario), and also carries licenses in Malta, and Germany.

Our Score: 7/10

Tonybet really suited our needs when looking at it from the eyes of a more experienced bettor. But there are some issues with the over user experience that can make it a little furstrating if you're not familiar with how betting apps work (and even if you are somewhat).

There are some useful options for changing settings to make the betting site a little more personalised, but but they are not made all that obvious to find and the actual navigation could be streamlined much better.

But when you get into the betting forecasts, tips, and even wager statistics Tonybet offers a solid experience.

Our Score: 7/10

The Tonybet mobile app is actually pretty good, and alleviates some of the frustrating navigational options that the website is plagued with.

By adding in filters, and popular markets that are easy to apply on mobile, Tonybet can start to really compete with the bog boys in Canada.

Again, the main downside is seeing so many betting lines and not being able to combine them with same game parlays even though there is a strong multi game parlay feature available. While not a bad choice, if your looking for more then there are a couple better options right now, but this is an app on the rise.

Our Score: 7/10

Tony bet has added a few more options into their payment methods, putting them in good company right now. They offer Interac, Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, and a few more for your convenience.

The process required to make a deposit is also really simple, and withdrawals reflect quickly. Withdrawals can be completed with all the deposit methods mentioned above.

Our Score: 7/10

Tonybet hits all the marks for ways to contact support, including email, 24/7 live chat, and a dedicated support telephone.

The only issue is that support tends to take a long time to respond, which can be frustrating if you want to get an issue resolved for a wager that is time sensitive.

Our score: 10/10

Tonybet has secured a license from Ontario, and has been operating legally there for a while. The sportsbook also carries licenses from the UK and Malta.

Our Score: 8/10

888Sport’s betting site is one of the most engaging from an aesthetic perspective. You have the option to change from light and dark, and the navigation, and process to place bets is seamless.

Another thing we liked about 888sport Canada is the fact that it is truly tailored to Canadian users. Some betting sites (cough, BetVictor) feel a little like they haven’t personalized their sites to the people that will be betting on them.

888Sport use terms (like futures instead of outrights, and soccer instead of football) for things that may have different names in other territories.

Our Score: 8/10

888Sport offers an all round decent betting app, but it has also been known to have its issues.

We asked our users to give us two things they liked, and two things they disliked about 888sport’s app.

They mentioned that they liked the overall interface, and the simplicity surrounding getting 888sport's app and placing bets, but they didn’t like that the app could log you out, and crash unexpectedly.

The team at 888sport is pretty good with responding to these issues, and they are always on the lookout for making tweaks and improvements, which can lead to more issues than good. We feel that over time, the app will become established as one of the best in Canada.

Our Score: 8/10

888Sport is one of the leaders when it comes to offering up payment options in Canada. They offer Interac, Visa, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, and many more for your convenience.

The process required to make a deposit is also really simple, and withdrawals reflect quickly. Withdrawals can be completed with all the deposit methods mentioned above.

Our Score: 8/10

888Sport enable their users to contact them through a 24/7 live chat, along with an email address, and a toll-free number.

This is a pretty solid range of customer service options, and there are responses seem to be legit. They helped us with any queries we had.

Our score: 10/10

888Sport was one of the first betting sites to receive the Ontario license. The sportsbook also carries licenses from the UK and Malta.

Our score: 7/10

Sports Interaction’s mobile website is good. Similar to the desktop site it feels clean, and feels well designed for users who like to bet on a smartphone.

Also, SIA has now released a dedicated mobile app, which just improved on each aspect of the mobile site and allow for smoother betting.

Our score: 10/10

Sports Interaction offer plenty of payment options that Canadians are used to seeing. Interac is of course their flagship payment method, but you can also use Visa, Mastercard and instant payments through Citadel.

The process of making deposits is easy, which is rounds up a perfect score for Sports Interaction in this department.

Our score: 8/10

Sports Interaction offers up a very nice betting experience. The site looks and feels clean, and it doesn’t feel overcrowded by options, much like some other betting sites on this list (cough, Casumo).

Placing bets is, again, really easy, and since it’s Canadian owned and operated, you’ll more than likely find a bet that looks interesting directly from the homepage.

Our score: 9/10

Sports Interaction offers up one of the best customer support services in Canada’s gambling market, offering 24/7 live chat availability, along with other channels that are responsive.

If you’re looking for a book that offers up great support, Sports Interaction would be a great bet.

Our score: 10/10

Sports Interaction is licensed in Ontario, and also carries the Kahnawake Gaming Commission license as well, making them 100% legit and legal in Canada.

Powerplay’s mobile website is decent, and responsive enough, however, the fact that they don’t make a mobile betting app available is a bit disappointing. That being said, this may not be as big a deal if there are users out there that couldn’t care less about using a betting app.

We were impressed with Powerplay’s range of payment options. Users can choose from as many as ten different payment options, ranging from Interac, all the way to CryptoPay and Diners’s Club International, which puts them in a league of their own when it comes to unique payment methods.

What we like about Powerplay’s betting experience is that it’s super straightforward. It isn’t steeped in complicated processes and steps, and there aren’t too many features to get hung up on. The site is laid out in a good way, and overall, we think betting on Powerplay was a pleasure.

Powerplay’s customer service could be improved, as we found it quite hard to find any email or telephone support on the site. Users can access a long list of FAQs, and there is a live chat available. We tried out Powerplay’s live chat, and while the representative took a few minutes to respond, it was clear that the answers were not auto generated, but were rather being answered by a real human being.

Powerplay is licensed by the AGCO in Ontario, and is also licensed in Curacao.

Our score: 7/10

We liked the mobile experience available on Bwin, but they don’t score particularly well in this category because they don’t have a functioning betting app for users with this preference.

The mobile website does feel app-like when you’re betting with it, but the absence of an app puts a smudge on this book’s name in Canada.

Our score: 7/10

Bwin offer plenty of payment options to choose from. Players can top up their accounts with Interac and card payments, and can also make use of ewallets too.

The processing of depositing is easy enough, and making payments with Bwin can be done safely.

Our score: 8/10

Bwin offers a decent betting experience both on their desktop website and on their mobile website.

We preferred the mobile website, because on desktop, while it wasn’t as bad as Casumo, it did feel like there was a little too much going on.

Aside from a jam packed homepage, placing bets is seamless, and the processes of signing up to withdrawing are easy.

Our score: 5/10

Bwin’s overall score is possibly most affected by their poor customer service offer, which is not only hard to find, but doesn’t really cater to users with specialized queries.

We could only find an FAQ, no live chat, no phone number made available, and no email that we could find. If there was something that Bwin could improve immediately, it would be their customer support.

Our score: 10/10

Bwin is licensed in Ontario, and is also licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and carries licenses from numerous other international gambling regulatory bodies.

Our ranking: 9/10

Betting with Pinnacle is seamless. The process for signing up and placing bets is easy, with buttons displaying odds being clear, and easy to see.

The load speeds are also good, which is always a good indication of a site that is a pleasure to bet with.

The only issue we had with Pinnacle was with the fact that the layout may confuse players that are brand new to betting (hence the 9/10 and not 10/10), but that aside, betting with Pinnacle feels good.

Our ranking: 8/10

Pinnacle’s mobile experience is decent considering the operator does not offer a sports betting app.

Their mobile website functions much like the desktop website, which means if you’re connected to a stable internet connection, everything about it will be smooth and fast.

If Pinnacle were to begin offering a sports betting app, our score for this factor would increase.

Our ranking: 10/10

Pinnacle offers up a staggering range of payment options for Canadian users, which is why they get a perfect score. From cryptocurrency to bank cards, you are bound to be satisfied with what Pinnacle have to offer in regard to payments.

Our ranking: 8/10

Pinnacle offer up some decent support options, including email, and live chat support. Their score for this category would go up if they were to begin offering phone support.

Our ranking: 10/10

Pinnacle carries the Ontario license, and is also licensed in Malta and Curaçao, making the sportsbook legal to bet with across Canada.

Our score: 8/10

Bet99’s betting experience is largely okay, but it’s dependent on what kind of device you’re using when betting with them.

Their site isn’t the most responsive, so if you have an excessively big or small computer screen, some displays may be affected.

Otherwise, the processes of placing bets, making deposits, and withdrawing winnings is pretty seamless.

Our score: 8/10

Bet99 has moved on from just offering a mobile version of their website to a fully native iOS and Android app - which is a big improvement for the speed and security of the sportsbook. This is now a really solid mobile experience, and the app is easy to use and navigate.

Our score: 9/10

Bet99’s range of payment options is geared to keeping Canadians happy. The site accepts payments through Interac, Visa, Mastercard, iDebit, Flexepin and EcoPayz.

The process of depositing is also seamless and easy to follow.

Our score: 7/10

Bet99 offer up a dedicated virtual support assistant, that can answer more generic questions concerning their platform. You lodge queries by clicking buttons, and the virtual assistant will respond with the given information.

Our score: 7/10

Bet99’s Ontario license is fully approved, and Bet99 also have a license from the Kahnawake gaming commission, making them legit in the rest of Canada.

Our score: 8/10

Aside from a betting site that looks a little dull, the betting experience on Comeon is pretty good. The site does have a somewhat modern feel, but the colour scheme isn’t particularly engaging.

Placing bets is pretty easy, and processes from signing up to withdrawing can be done without fuss.

Our score: 7/10

Comeon’s mobile offering isn’t bad by any means, but it doesn’t have us jumping up and down either. They have a betting app that functions pretty well, but has been known to crash from time to time.

Their mobile website is pretty good too, and functions much like the desktop website does.

Our score: 7/10

Comeon has a wide range of payment methods available, from Interac, Visa and Mastercard to iDebit, Instadebit and ecoPayz.

Making deposits is also straightforward and seamless, rounding out a good set of payment options and payment experience.

Our score: 9/10

Comeon offer a decent range of support options for users that run into issues. In Canada, they offer up a live chat channel, that functions well, and feels like it’s legitimately run by a person, along with a phone number and an email address.

Our score: 10/10

Comeon has received the Ontario license, and is not illegal to use in the rest of Canada as well.

Our score: 6/10

The betting experience offered up by Casumo could improve on desktop, but is decent on mobile, and on their app.

The desktop platform feels messy at best, and feel like it best serves casino players. Sports bettors may find the site hard to navigate through, especially once they’ve clicked on the “view our odds” button from the homepage.

There are too many events that have been squeezed into one page on the homepage, which really makes for a bit of an unpleasant experience.

Once you’ve found the sportsbook side of their platform, placing bets is fairly simple – all that is required is finding your bet and clicking on a few buttons.

Our score: 9/10

As we mentioned in the section before, betting on Casumo feels best when doing so on mobile.

Whether it’s through their impressive betting app, or on their decent mobile website, Casumo is good on mobile.

Our score: 8/10

Being an online casino above all else, Casumo offers plenty of payment options to users in Canada. Canadians can choose from Interac, iDebit, MuchBetter, bank deposits, and more.

Depositing is easy, and Casumo offer up some detailed steps on how to complete the process after clicking a big deposit button, which is visible once you’ve signed up.

Our score: 5/10

Casumo’s customer service offering could be better, as all they offer is an email address and an automated live chat.

They suggest using the live chat for simple queries, and their email for more complicated queries, which we would advise too. It would be nice to know that their live chat was manned by a real person, and a phone number wouldn’t hurt.

Our score: 5/10

Casumo is the only betting site from this list that has not received the Ontario license, but the operator is expected to get the license soon.

Casumo is however licensed by the gaming commission of Gibraltar, and is 100% safe to use.

When signing up, I really appreciate a betting site that makes it as simple as possible.

I hate having to move through numerous sign up sheets and squint my eyes to ensure all of my details are entered correctly. I also dislike small disclaimers that requite checking boxes that are barely visible.

If I can sign up by providing my email and a few basic details, I’m happy.

Once I’ve got an account up and running, I like to make a deposit, because this is what most users do after they’ve signed up. I take a look at the available deposit methods, and come to a conclusion about what is offered. Usually, if a book accepts Interac, I’m happy, but more options are also good.

Then, once I’ve looked at all the deposit methods, I make a deposit, and document the process. I appreciate a process that is seamless, like it is to pay for a piece of clothing online, for example.

Once I’ve got money in my betting account, the next step for me is to go ahead and place a bet. I personally appreciate betting sites with a simple layout, that aren’t overrun with different options as I enter a specific sports page.

I then see how well certain buttons are labelled, and if it’s easy to understand what will happen if I click a specific button. Then I click on the odds, enter my stake, and confirm the bet, to check if the bet will be reflected on the site.

As mentioned above, I assess the value of the odds. While at this point in my career, I’m able to assess the value of odds at first glance, in order to ensure absolute objectivity, I make use of Pinnacle’s margin calculator. This tool tells me the margins of the odds on offer.

The margins indicate the value, as it draws the amount that betting sites claim from your winnings for the service they have provided. Lower margins mean that a betting site is more generous, and no one’s margins are lower than Bet365’s.

While I wish there was a fancy tool for the number of lines that are on offer for each betting site, there isn’t. I have to sit there and count all the lines for the sports that Canadians bet on the most.

What I do really like seeing is when a betting site provides the number of lines available when you get to the specific game you want to bet on. For example, Be365 will include a box that say “+455 markets”, which makes my life way easier.

While Betway might be Alex’s favourite book, they don’t have any such thing.

While Oliver takes a look at the features themselves, I take a look at the features that are specific to certain betting lines. For example, Olly talks about same game parlays, and maybe the combo generator that can be found on Coolbet.

The features I’ll look at include the likes of 888sport’s points spread toggle feature, that is also available for puck line bets on hockey and run line bets on baseball.

I try them out and talk a bit how they work in our reviews, and comparison pages.
