GreatSpin Sportsbook Review 2024

Sports bettors in Alberta have a vast selection of the best sports betting sites Canada has to offer, and one of the latest additions to the list of options came in 2024 with the launch of GreatSpin.

GreatSpin is an online sportsbook and casino that is licensed in Curacao and owned by Softgenius N.V., a prominent gambling operator with four sportsbooks under its belt.

My review will focus on GreatSpin’s sports betting vertical, which serves up fair odds on a wide range of live and pre-match betting options.

GreatSpin Sportsbook also offers a solid assortment of regular promotions like reload bonuses, 0% odds margins, enhanced odds, and a unique and exciting feature called Flash Market, while new customers can claim a 100% sports welcome bonus up to $300.    

Sports to Bet On With GreatSpin

GreatSpin’s betting menu featured 36 sports to bet on, including esports, specials, and a strong selection of niche sports like beach volleyball, pesapallo, and water polo. 

Of course, GreatSpin also covers the NFL, CFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and college football. Let’s look at the most popular sports on offer.

GreatSpin NHL Betting

GreatSpin has a wide range of NHL betting opportunities. Like a lot of NHL betting sites, GreatSpin has a good selection of markets available for each game, ranging from puck lines and totals to some of the more obscure secondary markets.

Hockey fans will also love having access to dozens of other leagues, including the new PWHL, NCAA, AHL, and many other leagues throughout Europe.

The downside to the huge selection of betting options is that the odds margins are a little out of line. For instance, I saw that NHL totals routinely had odds margins exceeding 8%. 

On the other hand, KHL moneylines were reasonably priced, with average mainstream margins hovering between 5% and 5.25%.

GreatSpin NFL and CFL Betting

If you like NFL betting sites and, in particular, betting on NFL moneylines, then you should be pretty happy with GreatSpin, as those bets often come with very good odds margins of under 4%. 

While an average 5.26% margin for NFL spreads and totals is a little higher, it still qualifies as highly competitive.

I also commend the depth of the betting menus at GreatSpin, as the sportsbook offers all sorts of secondary markets, like races to X points, odd and even score totals, and a superb selection of player props.

CFL bettors will be very happy with the CFL odds margins, which usually come in at a little over 5%. The main drawback I found is that the CFL menus don’t offer much beyond sides and totals.

GreatSpin NBA Betting

GreatSpin offers one of the most expansive NBA futures menus I have encountered at any Alberta or NBA betting site. Division winners, conference winners, championship winners, and the NBA in-season tournament are all on offer.

Then there are all of the exciting player award props. You can even bet on whether your team will make the playoffs. The average odds margin for sides and totals usually hovers between 5% and 5.26%, although it can be a little higher for secondary betting markets.

GreatSpin MLB Betting

GreatSpin offers some of the best MLB odds you can find at MLB betting sites. With margins on moneylines falling in the 4% range and the 4.5% range for runlines and totals, you have a chance to make the most profits on your winning bets.

Furthermore, I loved that the sportsbook offers loads of fun pitcher props. These wagers also have sub-5% odds margins, which is rare.

In addition to MLB, GreatSpin offers odds on Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese leagues. These leagues also provide competitive margins of about 5.5% alongside deep betting menus, which include 5-inning lines, highest-scoring inning, and first-inning totals.

Live Betting Options and Features

Be it a major showdown like a Stanley Cup game or some under-the-radar competition like a Czech Liga Pro table tennis match, GreatSpin Sportsbook will offer live odds on it. That means you can bet while the games are in progress.

The live betting section offers most of the same main features as the pre-match menus, including same-game parlays, cash outs, and an exclusive option called Flash Markets.

The Flash Markets feature is available for select live events, and it gives bettors access to as many as 200 or more live markets based on moment-to-moment action, with new markets being tossed into the mix every 20 or 30 seconds.

The sportsbook also offers live streaming, but I deliberately left this fact out earlier because it is generally limited to esports and niche sports. Nevertheless, this is a major plus for fans of those sports.

Same-Game Parlays

GreatSpin is fully behind one of the latest betting trends, which is the same-game parlay. The sportsbook calls same-game parlays “Bet Builders”, which are offered on most football, baseball, and hockey pre-match menus. It is also available on live and pre-match soccer menus.

Of course, the Bet Builder doesn’t limit bettors to options from just one match. I could use it to combine selections from multiple matches. The great news is that you can even use the cash out feature on selections within your Bet Builder parlay.

There are a couple of limitations to the Bet Builder feature. For example, you are allowed a maximum of 6 selections from a single match, and the maximum odds for each Bet Builder is capped at 1001/1. 

Depositing and Withdrawing at GreatSpin

GreatSpin Mobile Betting Review

GreatSpin offers a highly functional and user-friendly mobile platform. The site, unfortunately, doesn't rank among the sportsbook with betting apps. Instead, you'll need to open your mobile browser and head over to GreatSpin.com.

Mobile users have access to all of GreatSpin’s odds, betting markets, and special features, including the Bet Builder, cash out, boosted odds, and live streaming.

When you arrive, you can choose from live markets and pre-match markets. You can quickly and easily find what you’re looking for by scrolling through the list of sports at the top of the screen. You can also use the search bar to speed things up.
