888sport<\/strong> pays out its welcome bonus in an unusual order. Instead of crediting a match when you deposit, it asks you to bet your first deposit at odds of 1.5 or better, and the bonus lands once those qualifying bets settle. Outside Ontario and Alberta, Canadians reach it at 888sport.com.<\/p>\n\n\n

888sport.com is operated by Virtual Global Digital Services Limited, part of the evoke group. Gibraltar’s licensing authority issued the licence, and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner is the regulator. No province licenses it, which places 888sport among the offshore-licensed sportsbooks open to most Canadians. The group behind it has run sportsbooks in Europe for well over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ontario residents:<\/strong> 888 runs a separate AGCO-registered sportsbook in Ontario under VHL Ontario Limited. Read our 888sport Ontario review<\/a> instead. This page covers the site for the rest of Canada, which excludes Ontario and Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our verdict<\/div>

888sport is a competent all-rounder with a bonus that rewards betting rather than depositing. Its Bet Builder covers NFL and NBA games as well as soccer. Cash Out runs on live markets, and the sports menu stretches from the NHL and CFL to curling. Outside Ontario and Alberta it operates under a Gibraltar licence rather than a provincial one. Read the welcome terms twice.<\/p>

Best for:<\/strong> bettors who want Bet Builder, Cash Out and deep North American coverage in one account  ·  Watch:<\/strong> Gibraltar rather than provincial licensing, and a welcome bonus with wagering, odds and bet-size conditions<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

888sport welcome offer for new customers in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n

Canadians outside Ontario and Alberta who open a new account can earn a bonus equal to their first deposit, with a small casino bonus on top. The figures appear in the offer panel above, so the focus here is the mechanics. Read the conditions before opting in.<\/p>\n\n\n

The order of events is the thing to understand. You deposit, then place qualifying bets totalling your deposit at odds of 1.5 or greater, and the bonus is credited when those bets settle. Free Bet tokens, cashed-out bets, voided bets and virtual sports do not qualify. The bonus then carries 6x wagering within 60 days, only bets at odds of 1.5 or greater count, and only the first $50 of any single bet counts towards the requirement. The cash balance is always used before bonus funds.<\/p>\n\n\n

The casino bonus follows separate rules. You earn it with a qualifying bet of $10 or more at odds of 1.5 or greater, then claim it within seven days from the pop-up or the Bonuses tab. It expires after 14 days and carries 40x wagering on selected casino games. First deposits made with PayPal, Neteller, Paysafecard, MuchBetter or Skrill do not qualify, so use a card or Interac for the first deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n
