TonyBet Review

Founded in Germany in 2003, TonyBet has been steadily working to establish itself in the competitive Canadian sports betting market. After securing a license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), the sportsbook has gained traction among bettors in the province. Backed by a solid marketing push and a sportsbook that continues to enhance its user’s experience after 22 years, TonyBet has carved out a niche with its user-friendly platform and well-rounded betting features.

TonyBet offers a range of features designed to enhance the betting experience for both newcomers and experienced bettors. The sportsbook includes an easy-to-use bet builder, which we found to be excellent for new and inexperienced bettors. TonyBet also offers many incentives for those seeking higher returns, such as boosted odds on select games and weekly events like bettor tournaments which gives users the chance to win cash prizes based on their betting performances, creating an interactive and competitive atmosphere.

The platform itself stands out with its supporting features. Detailed team statistics are available for every game, giving bettors valuable insights when creating their wagers. Customization options, such as different odds display formats and a favorites section for bookmarking preferred teams, further enhance the betting experience.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at TonyBet’s strengths and weaknesses, from its standout features to areas where it falls short. Whether you're considering signing up or just curious about how it stacks up against competitors, this balanced review will provide everything you need to know.

TonyBet is a safe and trustworthy platform licensed by the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (ETCB), servicing all Canadians outside of Ontario, as well as being licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), in partnership with iGaming Ontario, which makes them fully legal and accessible in Ontario, Canada.

TonyBet also goes to great lengths to ensure your information is stored securely. They utilize 128-bit encryption SSL as well as information access controls to safely store your personal and financial information, in addition to using regularly updated firewall software. The licenses held by TonyBet also ensures they follow strict regulations when it comes to securing your information.

TonyBet’s mobile app feels great. The design is well thought out, allowing you to access all of TonyBet’s features quickly and effectively. Best of all, the app fixes a lot of the issues found on their desktop site and enhances the user experience tremendously.

Taking a look at the desktop site, TonyBet’s platform feels congested and navigation feels clunky and unintuitive for the most part. It really does take some time for you to find all of the features you’re looking for, such as the settings being weirdly placed and navigating to a specific game within a select sport requiring multiple clicks through various sub-navigations. The design of the site also lacks much visual appeal, as the colors don’t blend well with each other, making it difficult to keep your eyes focused in one place.

The mobile app’s design removes a lot of the clutter found on the website, ensuring you can easily focus on the task at hand. We found the betting process, selecting your desired game, building your wager, placing your bet, and keeping track of your bill to be intuitive and easy, even for those new to betting. Navigating the platform is straightforward, with multiple avenues of reaching your desired destination. All of the supporting features, like team stats and the bet builder, are prominently placed alongside the betting journey as well, and designed in a way that it displays great on any mobile device.

We were also impressed with the features offered on TonyBet’s platform, like the stats and predictions accompanying each game, the customizable odds display, and the favorites/pinning feature. See what we had to say about these features below:

Most experienced bettors will research team and player statistics when forming a wager. Becoming better informed with past performances can make all the difference in choosing the wagers with the highest chance of succeeding. For the most part, this is done outside of the sportsbook. Bettors will need to look up additional sources and review these stat histories before coming back to place their bets.

With TonyBet, all the relevant information concerning team performances is presented to you in an in depth overview. Gone are the days where you waste time parsing through multiple tabs just to get a good idea on a player’s likelihood of hitting that over/under. Simply navigate to the statistics section or have it pulled out in a new window and you’ll be better informed when considering which bets to place.

For new bettors and more casual sports fans, this is a great way to start your journey in the world of sportsbooks. No need to have a clear picture of every team and player’s standings, just make sure to take a quick look at TonyBet’s stat section and you’ll be in a much better position to place likely-to-hit wagers.

TonyBet also includes their own predictions on outcomes of the game and player’s performances, giving you greater insights into the possible outcome of a game. All in all, we think this is a great way to keep you better informed.

Odds can be displayed in a variety of formats, like the European decimal or American odds. It can be frustrating signing-up for a sportsbook just to find out it displays odds in an unfamiliar format, making it harder to gauge how to boost your total odds.

TonyBet gives you the option to customize how you want odds displayed on its sportsbook. This ensures that whichever format you’re familiar with, you’ll be able to switch the odds to your liking.

We found this to be helpful for new bettors as well, as odds and what they mean can be slightly confusing at first. With TonyBet’s odds customization, you can play around with which format makes the most sense to you.

Adding teams to your favorites section is a great way to personalize your experience on TonyBet. Simply find and select the teams you’d like to add and navigate to the favorites section to view upcoming games.

We think this is a great way to save you time when it comes to placing bets on your favorite teams and go-to games. Instead of having to navigate to the sport type, selecting a league, and then scrolling through the available games to find your team, you can simply navigate to the favorites section and find everything you need.

For experienced bettors, TonyBet also lets you pin matchups which we think can be a great tool when building multiple-game parlays. Just pin the select games you’re interested in, and start building your combinations without being distracted by the rest.

TonyBet’s betting market is comprehensive and tailored to both experienced and new bettors. Its sportsbook offers moneylines, handicaps, player props, quarterly and half-game predicitons, futures, as well as some other wagering opportunities like “will there be overtime?”

In this section we will go over each of these betting markets and what they mean, as well as additional betting features that impressed us.

Moneyline

Moneylines are a type of wager that predicts which team will win the game. This is the most straightforward bet type available on most sportsbooks, giving you the opportunity to receive high odds betting on underdogs and decent odds on even matchups.

TonyBet also offers the opportunity to select a tie as the outcome of a moneyline bet.

Handicaps

Handicaps are a prediction of the point difference a team will win or lose the game by. These can be slightly difficult to accurately predict, as many factors such as defensive matchups and past team performances can come into play.

The sportsbook, in this case TonyBet, will decide which team is favored to win and present you with a selection of point amounts that they will win by, as well as a selection of points the unfavored team will lose by. It’s important to note that TonyBet includes overtime for these wagers.

Player props

Player props is a prediction of a player’s performance based on different game metrics at a set amount chosen by the sportsbook. This set amount is usually dictated by a player’s performance in past games. For example, if you’re interested in wagering on a player’s receiving yards in football, if a player is at 82.5 yards, they would need to have 82 receiving yards to hit the under, or 83 yards to hit the over.

Player props can be an extremely entertaining way to bet on games and build parlays. It lets you become more involved in the performance of specific players rather than the overall performance of the team.

Quarterly/Half-Game Predictions

This type of wager lets you break down your wager into segments of a matchup. Betting on the quarterly performance of a basketball game, for example, leads to smaller wagering windows in which you can receive payouts without having to wait for the end results of the game.

The wagers for quarterly and half-game predictions are in the form of moneylines, handicaps, and point totals.

Futures

Futures are predictions on the outcome of future matchups, most commonly for championship games. They yield higher odds due to the nature of uncertainty they carry. These can be combined into multiple future predictions, such as the winner of the NFL Super Bowl and the NHL Stanley Cup.

Live-Betting

Live-betting allows you to place bets while the game is currently active. The odds will change dynamically alongside the game activity, making it an exciting way to stay entertained while watching the game.

Although TonyBet provides some graphs to help you stay up-to-date with what's going on, they do not offer live-streaming services. This can be disappointing for those wanting to use TonyBet for live-betting.

Parlays

Parlays are bets consisting of multiple wagers. Should one of your wagers fail, your entire parlay fails with it. The upside of using parlays is that it significantly boosts your total odds, making it a great way to receive large payouts on smaller wagers.

TonyBet offers both same-game and multi-game parlays, including options that span different sports. This allows you to combine multiple bets for more exciting wagers. The bet builder feature, covered in more detail later, makes it easy for both new and experienced bettors to create parlays effortlessly.

Other Betting Markets

TonyBet also offers a wide variety of quirky betting markets, such as how many consecutive points will be scored by a team in basketball or how many field goals will be scored in a football game. These are great additional opportunities for you to create fun and engaging wagers.

For those unaware, a bet builder is a tool offered by sportsbooks which makes building parlays, multiple wagers in a single bet, easier. The range of this tool can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook but, for TonyBet, its bet builder is capable of only servicing same-game parlays.

We found TonyBet’s bet builder to be extremely friendly for new and inexperienced bettors. The design of the tool is impressively intuitive and presents you with every possible wager on a single page. For new bettors, we think TonyBet has one of the best bet builders to introduce you to parlays.

Maximizing returns on your wagers is a big reason why most bettors search for the most competitive odds across sportsbooks. Even though TonyBet offers competitive odds, even when compared to global sportsbook leaders like FanDuel and Bet365, they’ve gone ahead and amplified their offerings through boosted odds on select sports.

Boosted odds are offered as an additional incentive to place wagers on certain games, giving you more betting opportunities with generous boosts to your potential payouts. For experienced bettors, this is a great way to discover games you otherwise wouldn’t place wagers on. For new bettors, it’s nice to have an avenue to increase your odds without having to add additional risk through building parlays.

TonyBet offers a great selection of deposit and withdrawal options that are familiar and accessible for all Canadians. Its platform also accepts cryptocurrencies for those looking to use their crypto wallets to place deposits and withdrawals.

Take a look at the tables below to see if TonyBet has you covered:

Deposits

Withdrawal

Although TonyBet does a great job of providing their users with various means of contacting customer support, it is common for support to be delayed in responding to customer issues. This can be disappointing when trying to resolve issues with sign-up or withdrawal disputes. However, for the most part, they are effective in resolving the majority of issues which is a great sign for any sportsbook.

TonyBet offers three avenues to contact support:

Email

Users can contact support via email at info@tonybet.com

Live chat is a feature found on TonyBet’s platform, allowing you to connect with a real agent, resolving issues without ever having to stop your betting experience. This service is available 24 hours, 7 days a week.
