Bet99 is the homegrown option: a Toronto-headquartered sportsbook built by Sports Venture Holdings that has treated Canada as its core market since launching in 2019. The product shows it, with deep NHL prop menus, CFL alongside NFL, and banking built around Interac. This Bet99 review covers the rest-of-Canada sportsbook at bet99.com: markets, the First Bet Encore welcome, banking and how far to trust it.
Ontario players: this review is for the rest of Canada. Bet99 runs a separate, AGCO-registered site for Ontario at on.bet99.ca, so if you are in Ontario read our Bet99 Ontario review instead.
Bet99 welcome offer for new customers in Canada
The welcome is the First Bet Encore: if your first qualifying cash wager loses, Bet99 refunds the stake as four Bonus Bets worth 25% each, up to $800 in total. It is insurance rather than a deposit match, which suits bettors who want to open with a real position. The minimum first deposit is $20, and Bonus Bets carry their own terms, so read them before you stake. Our Bonus Bets guide explains how refund offers like this actually pay out.

Bet99 key features
The pitch is a sportsbook that feels made for Canadian bettors rather than localised for them. Puck line and NHL prop coverage lead the lobby, the CFL gets genuine market depth instead of a token moneyline, and American odds are the default the way Canadian bettors expect. BetVision streaming on NFL games closes the loop: watch and bet in one screen.
“Bet99 is the rare book where the NHL menu feels like the main event rather than an import. Add CFL depth and Interac rails and it reads Canadian from the first screen.”
What sports can you bet on with Bet99?

Is Bet99 a trustworthy sportsbook?
Yes, with the usual offshore caveat. Bet99 is owned by Sports Venture Holdings, the Canadian group that built the brand, and has operated since 2019 with Toronto headquarters. For the rest of Canada, bet99.com runs under a Kahnawake Gaming Commission authorization; in Ontario it holds a separate AGCO registration. A Leger survey ranked it the number one online gaming experience in Canada, and the recurring criticism is operational rather than behavioural: withdrawal timing that can vary with verification and volume.
Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are available. Use them. Our gambling awareness guide covers protections and where to turn if a dispute arises.
Bet99 deposit and withdrawal methods
Banking is CAD-native with a $20 floor for the qualifying first deposit. Interac is the rail most bettors will use; see our Interac guide for how the timings work.
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Interac e-Transfer | Deposits and withdrawals; deposits are instant, payout timing varies with verification status |
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant deposits; Interac is the faster cash-out route |
| E-wallets and vouchers | A rotating supporting cast; availability varies by province |
| Minimum deposit | $20 to qualify for the welcome; verify your identity early to keep payouts moving |
