TonyBet is a long-running international sportsbook, founded by professional poker player Antanas “Tony G” Guoga, who rebranded the Omnibet platform as TonyBet around 2009. It is now fully licensed in Ontario through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario (iGO). This is our TonyBet Ontario review, covering the betting markets, live betting, the mobile app, banking options and the Ontario responsible-gambling tools you’ll find on the regulated Ontario platform.

TonyBet Ontario key features
Market depth is the headline. TonyBet carries an extensive catalogue across more than 25 sports, with particularly deep hockey coverage — NHL plus OHL, WHL and QMJHL and a wide range of international leagues — alongside soccer, basketball and one of the stronger esports offerings among Ontario books. On a marquee EPL fixture you can find upwards of 4,000 individual markets.
The bet builder and same-game parlays let Ontario bettors combine multiple selections from a single fixture, sitting alongside standard parlays, player props and futures. It is a flexible setup for bettors who like to build their own slips rather than stick to straight singles.
Live betting is another strong suit. A deep in-play market list comes with an early Cash Out option, letting you lock in a return or trim a position before an event finishes. The one gap is video — there is no live streaming, so a second screen is worth having for the action.
TonyBet also leans into its Canadian footprint and heritage. The book is an official partner of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) and carries the poker pedigree of founder Antanas “Tony G” Guoga, a pioneer of Open Face Chinese Poker, which gives the brand a recognisable identity in the Ontario market.
TonyBet is one of the deeper market books in Ontario — the hockey, soccer and esports coverage genuinely stands out, and the bet builder is a nice touch. Just complete your verification early so your first Interac withdrawal isn’t held up.

Is TonyBet Ontario trustworthy?
Yes — in Ontario, TonyBet operates under the regulatory oversight of the AGCO and iGaming Ontario, with the licensed entity Ligtip Limited, which registered in December 2022 and launched in 2023. The brand traces back to founder Antanas “Tony G” Guoga and his poker background, and it is RG Check accredited, so it is an established, regulated operator rather than a newcomer.
To give a balanced picture: Interac payouts are usually fast, but a portion of public user reviews flag slower-than-expected withdrawals and thorough verification checks. Our practical advice is to complete your KYC (identity) verification early — before you request your first withdrawal — so payouts run smoothly once your account is fully approved.
