Sports Interaction Ontario Sportsbook Review 2022

The Sports Interaction sportsbook has been serving Canadian bettors for more than two decades. Founded in 1997, the bookmaker has become popular with many players in Canada. It is known for its Sports Interaction attentive customer support, user-friendly platform and extensive North American and Canadian local sports coverage.

In February 2022, Sports Interaction owner Avid Gaming was purchased by online gambling giant Entain. The companies stated they are "combining Canada sports betting forces."

So Canadian bettors will soon enjoy Entain's technical expertise combined with exciting Sports Interaction bonus offers.

From April 4, 2022, Ontario sports betting sites will be regulated. Sport Interaction ON will need to secure a license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to operate in the province.

One of the first things we noticed when conducting our Sports Interaction review was the bookmaker's tagline: "Canada's Online Sportsbook." The operator has yet to state its plans for Ontario, but should it opt to seek a license and launch in the province, here's what you need to know about Sports Interaction betting and features.

Sports Interaction Ontario Sportsbook Review

The Sports Interaction sportsbook is regulated in Jersey (the UK territory, not the US state) and Canada. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission licenses its Canadian site, and the company's headquarters are located outside of Montreal. Based on our own examination and Sports Interaction customer reviews we read, this is genuinely a sportsbook run by Canadians and made for Canadians.

Sports Interaction offers a dedicated site and customer support in English and French, local payment methods such as Interac and extensive US and Canadian sports coverage. The sportsbook was acquired by online gambling powerhouse Entain in February 2022. So, we hope it will use Entain's robust technical infrastructure and that a Sports Interaction sportsbook app will be available soon.

The company didn't secure an AGCO license yet as it is in the midst of a dispute with the province, arguing that as First Nations operation it is not subject to those regulations, which all sportsbooks will be required to adhere to in Ontario beginning April 4, 2022. We've based this Sports Interaction review on the current site available in other jurisdictions, but it is what we expect to find once the Sports Interaction Ontario website launches.

Other Sports Interaction Ontario Features

These are some of the top features on the Sports Interaction ON sportsbook, plus some additions we hope to see on the Sports Interaction Ontario site.

Competitive Sports Betting Odds 

Sports Interaction may be well known for its range of markets and bets, but its odds aren't always as generous. The Sports Interaction betting site offered less favourable odds in several markets compared to competitors. However, we still found attractive odds on major American sports and Canadian leagues. 

Sportsbook Features 

Sports Interaction boasts exciting sports betting features such as in-play betting combined with the Sports Interaction cash out feature. You can place live bets on most sports on the site on these markets. You can also get in-depth statistics on these live games and even see updated graphs in real time as the action unfolds.

Market Variety and Sports Offering 

Like its current Canadian sportsbook, Sports Interaction Ontario will offer players many options on North America's most popular sports. The bookmaker offers NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL markets on nearly every bet type under the sun. National leagues and sports such as the Canadian Football League (CFL) also receive extensive coverage. There are also niche sports such as lacrosse and curling that will have more options on Sports Interaction Ontario than on other Ontario betting sites.

One of the most exciting options is eSports betting. Considering many competitors don't offer this type of betting, Sports Interaction Ontario should stand out for offering markets on Dota 2, Counter-Strike: GO and League of Legends.

Deposit and Withdrawal Options

You will need to visit the cashier section on the sportsbook's site, select a deposit method and follow the instructions to fund your account. Not all deposit options are available for Sports Interaction withdrawal requests though.

The minimum amount for deposits and withdrawals is $20 for most payment methods. Following the operator's policies in other jurisdictions, we expect Sports Interaction Ontario to process withdrawals within 1-3 business days, depending on the banking method chosen.

Mobile App Design and Accessibility

Currently, there is no Sports Interaction app download available. However, bettors can still access the sportsbook through the Sports Interaction mobile website.

The HTML5 site is responsive and optimized for mobile browsers. The user-friendly interface transcended seamlessly across all the mobile devices and screen sizes we tested for our Sports Interaction betting review.

We hope that the new owner Entain will soon introduce a native Sports Interaction app Android and iOS users can download to their devices. In the meantime, the sportsbook's mobile website gives users access to nearly all the same markets and features. As we constantly update this guide with news and information, we will let you know as soon as the bookmaker introduces a Sports Interaction app iPhone and Android users can download.

Same-Game Parlays 

Same-Game Parlays (SGPs) bundle several bets on the same game into one wager. Although it is similar to a standard parlay that requires all betting segments to win, the outcome of SGP bets is correlated. You can add Sports Interaction prop bets, totals, spreads and more on the same sporting event as one wager to your bet slip. Similar to a standard parlay, SGPs bear higher risk but offer better payouts than the sum of individual bets.

When conducting this Sports Interaction sportsbook review, we didn't find many SGP options. We hope that this will change, and more of these exciting bets will be offered when Sports Interaction Ontario launches.

Rewards Programs and Loyalty Offers

Sports Interaction does not offer a rewards program that allows bettors to collect points as they wager and redeem them for bonuses at this time. Like the addition of a Sport Interaction app, we hope that the operator will add a reward program when launching its Sports Interaction Ontario site.

Responsible Gambling with the Sports Interaction Ontario 

The Canadian Gambling Association and International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) set responsible gambling standards that all sports betting sites must follow. Sports Interaction Ontario must adhere to these strict standards as part of its AGCO license.

The Sports Interaction sportsbook website offers a section dedicated to responsible gambling. It includes resources, betting management tools like deposit limits and links to gambling-addiction support groups and helplines. The operator also provides links to local organizations like the Canadian Partnership for Responsible Gambling.

Sports Interaction offers an extensive FAQ section that will help you resolve many issues you encounter on the site. If you still require assistance, you can contact the customer-support team through live chat, email, phone or mail. Live chat is by far the quickest method and is available 24/7.

Legal Sports Betting at Sports Interaction Ontario

Sport Interaction ON isn't live yet, as the province will launch its legal sports betting market on April 4, 2022. Currently, its site is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and it is still disputing whether it needs to have an AGCO license.

How to Redeem a Sports Interaction Ontario Bonus

Although you can sign up and start betting right away, you will still need to verify your Sports Interaction Ontario account before cashing out. You will only need to verify your account once by sending documents, including a copy of your photo ID and proof of address.

While there is no Sport Interaction app, you can still sign up on the sportsbook's mobile website. You will need to allow Sports Interaction Ontario to use your device's location to ensure that you are physically located in the province. This can easily be done from your device settings. Follow these simple steps to sign up and make a deposit:

• Click on any of the links on this page to visit the Sports Interaction site.

• Click on the green sign-up button.

• Provide information, including your name, address, email and date of birth.

• Set a memorable username and secure password, and accept the terms and conditions to create your account.

• Browse markets, add bets to the betting slip and confirm your wagers. You're off and running!

Download the Sports Interaction Sportsbook App in Ontario Now

While there is no Sports Interaction app, there is a mobile browser site that provides the same access to betting markets and features. The mobile site keeps the same user-friendly design and offers a seamless transition from the main desktop site.

The blue-and-orange sportsbook site works great on any sized device, thanks to HTML5 technology that makes it responsive and optimized for mobile use. But we still hope to see soon a Sports Interaction app iPhone and Android users can download to their devices.

Deposits and Withdrawals at Sports Interaction Ontario

Sports Interaction doesn't have the largest selection of payment methods, but it supports Canadian payment providers such as Interac and iDebit. We still found a good range of banking methods, including the following options:

• Mastercard

• Visa

• InstaDebit

• ecoPayz

• iDebit

• Interac

• Online Bank Transfer

• eChecks

Sports Interaction Partnerships in Ontario

National Lacrosse League

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) signed a deal with Sports Interaction for the sportsbook to become its Canadian partner, so you will see the sportsbook brand across arena signage at many games. 

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Sports Interactions' operator Mohawk Online signed a partnership with CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats. You can find Sports Interaction Ontario branding across the Canadian football team's social media platforms and as its Game Day Predictor sponsor.

Physical Sports Interaction Betting Locations in Ontario 

Retail sportsbooks offer bettors in-person banking and an exciting atmosphere. Sports Interaction hasn't announced plans to open a retail sportsbook. We hope the sportsbook will be more focused on launching a Sports Interaction app.
