Ontario, after a lengthy wait, has finally legalized online sports betting, after single-game betting became legal in Canada as of August 27, 2021.
Online sportsbooks such as FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Betrivers as well as Caesars sportsbook are all live in Ontario.
Below you will find the best sportsbooks in Ontario. All sportsbooks are legal in the state now that Ontario sports betting market is live.
Top Legal Ontario Sports Betting Operators
The top sportsbooks in Ontario features such as parlay betting, point spreads and more. However, as single-game sports betting has only recently been legalized, most of the casinos are undergoing the process of making that a reality for bettors. While there are very few sportsbooks available in Ontario at present, and perhaps no decent one apart from the government-run Proline+, many major players are expected to enter the market very soon.
As the operators prepare, they will have to fine-tune their applications to run within the guidelines of the province’s regulations. Many veteran sportsbooks from the US market will arrive and will bring their expertise with them. This means sports bettors in Ontario can expect some very well-adjusted sports betting platforms.
Draftkings Sportsbook Ontario
Another well-known sport betting brand in Ontario is DraftKings. DraftKings and FanDuel have competed professionally with one another throughout the years. DraftKings is a well-known betting brand that is anticipated to make every attempt to establish itself as a significant presence in the Ontario sports betting environment. DraftKings is known for providing sports bettors on their platform with a slick and engaging experience.
On both their website and mobile apps, DraftKings makes navigation and operation incredibly simple. Both Android and iOS users may use the software. The prominent sportsbook also assists new customers by helping to walk them through the basics of the site and application, as well as the betting procedure. It does, however, cater to experienced sports bettors with enhanced odds on a variety of betting markets or sports on its platform.
Although seasoned bettors may find the Vig, or bookmaker’s charge, higher than the industry norm, DraftKings provides relatively competitive odds in the market. New and current bettors on DraftKings may take advantage of a variety of features.
Aside from the standard features, DraftKings has a premium VIP club that treats its most loyal clients like royalty. This application, however, is invitation-only, which means that if you want to join, you’ll have to put up some serious cash. While DraftKings has not made the program’s benefits public, they are likely to include invitations to special events and blockbuster games, as well as exclusive travel lounges and positions, as well as royalty, stays at DraftKings casinos and hotels. The selection of sports and other markets available to bettors is astounding and compares well to their rivals, particularly FanDuel. They also enable consumers to wager on the following:

- Under/Over Totals
