TonyBet Ontario Sportsbook Review 2024

Many fans of online poker will be aware of the name Tony G. The poker superstar launched the TonyBet Sports betting site way back in 2009, and it has become one of the best online sportsbooks since then. With a huge range of betting markets, competitive odds, and great rewards and free bets including a great welcome package, this licensed online sports betting site is sure to be a big hit with Canadian sports bettors.

Sports and Markets Available at TonyBet

TonyBet offers sports bettors a great selection of sports to place bets on. Along the left-hand side of the homepage, you'll find the full list of sports. These include sports you won't find at every other sports betting site, like eSports, rugby, darts, and badminton.

Of course, the most popular sports are the ones listed at the top of the page. For Canadian bettors, the star attractions will be NHL betting, NFL, EPL soccer, and tennis. Some events in these sports have over a thousand (yes, 1,000) markets to bet on. To see everything an event has to offer, click on the event to be brought to a page just with markets for that displayed.

Again, the more common markets like point spreads, moneylines, and total points will be towards the top of the page. Scroll on down though and you'll find an incredible amount of betting markets. These range from player prop bets, quarter or period betting, and even combo bets, where you can combine different selections from the same event into a parlay. It really is a massive offering. In fact, the main thing missing from TonyBet is horse and greyhound racing. It's not something they offer at the moment. Once they do, their sports offering really will be the whole package.

TonyBet Sports Betting Features

It's quite common for online sports betting sites to have more and more features. This is certainly one area where TonyBet has not stood and watched others pass them by.

The most important thing for many sports bettors is often the betslip. Placing a bet at TonyBet couldn't be easier. Just click on the odds for your selection and they'll populate your betslip. To add more selections, simply click on more odds. You'll see your selection and a box to enter your stake displayed and your betting options at the top of the betslip. Here you can choose between singles and multi-bets. For multi-bets, the total combined odds will be shown on the betslip.

Cash-out is available with TonyBet, but unfortunately, at the time of review, it is not available for Canadian bettors. The option of being able to get out of your bet and receive whatever the value of it is at a particular time is a great feature. It's one TonyBet have built, and hopefully, it will be available in Canada in the not-too-distant future.

For in-play bettors, TonyBet provides excellent visualization and stats for in-play events. This gives you the most up-to-date information on what's happening in a game so you're completely aware of what's happening even if you're not watching the action live.

In-Play Betting

If you want sports betting to be available after the event has started, then TonyBet has you covered. Of course, not every event will be available in-play, but one click of the live betting button at the top of the homepage will bring you straight to the action.

The most popular events at the time will be immediately visible, with all other sports with in-play events listed at the top of the in-play homepage and along the left. With so many events to choose from, it may be a lot to take in. But you'll quickly see that the most popular markets for these popular events are shown and the full list of markets can be seen by clicking on a fixture or game.

Live Streaming

Unfortunately, TonyBet does not provide live streaming of any live sporting events. While that would be ideal, their in-play stats are enough to keep bettors fully informed of what’s happening in a game at any given time.

Depositing and Withdrawing at TonyBet Sports

There's a very wide range of deposit options for Canadian TonyBet customers. So many that they're split into categories on site. These categories are Credit Card (Visa and Mastercard), Bank Transfers (INSTADEBIT, Interac, direct Debit and iDebit), e-wallet (AstroPay, MuchBetter and EcoPayz), voucher (paysafecard and Neosurf) and Cryptocurrency.

The selection of banking options will surely suit everyone and so will the minimum and maximum deposit. For most payment methods, the minimum deposit is $15 and the maximum is $3,000. However, check the TonyBet deposit page for details on all of them, because some will allow a deposit for as little as $1.50 and some for as much as $10,000, so you're sure to find something that works for your bankroll.

Withdrawals generally have the same minimum and maximum as deposits, depending on the method you used to add funds to your TonyBet account. You should find that your withdrawal is received within 48 hours if you've cashed out to an e-wallet, or 2-5 working days for withdrawals to cards.

TonyBet Sports Desktop Experience

It's very difficult to get lost on the TonyBet sports betting site, even if you are new to the world of online sportsbooks. Everything is very clearly laid out and easy to follow. The different sections of the site are marked at the top of the homepage – Sports Betting and Live Betting. Once you're in the part of the sportsbook you want to be, you're greeted with the most popular events. Every sport is available along the left side of the screen and is very easy to navigate to.

New bettors might find the fact that they see so many odds at the same time a lot to digest. If there are a lot of events in-play for example, it can get a little cluttered. However, more experienced online bettors may prefer seeing so many different betting markets at the same time. Whichever your preference is, you're sure to be impressed by the speed and performance of the TonyBet Sports site. Whether you're depositing cash, going from one event to another or placing a bet, the site is super fast, user-friendly, and very responsive.

Mobile App

The look and general feel of the TonyBet Sports mobile app is very similar to the desktop experience, as with most Mobile Apps. You won’t be missing out on any betting markets because everything TonyBet offers is available on desktop and mobile.

It really is impressive how TonyBet manage to fit so much information onto a smaller device's screen. In some cases, if you're in the traditional portrait mode, it might be necessary to scroll to the right in order to see all of the available odds. This does, of course, depend on your device. We found the mobile site and app worked best in landscape mode, so everything fit as it should onto the screen.

Everything from the event display, site layout, betslip, My Account section and in-play betting markets are all right there, optimized for mobile to ensure great performance and making placing a bet as easy as possible.

At present the app is available only for iOS devices from the App Store. There's no android app available, but the mobile site performs very nicely on all mobile browsers. For easy access to the TonyBet Sports mobile site without downloading the app, you can save a shortcut to your phone's main screen so you're always one click away from the action.

Betting Odds at TonyBet Sports

We found the odds at TonyBet to be very competitive. You will find some selections are much bigger odds than with competitors, while the balance for that is that some will be shorter odds. All in all, TonyBet's odds are very fair.

TonyBet Customer Support

It was very easy to get in touch with the customer support team at TonyBet. The friendly, knowledgeable, helpful team are available in just the click of one button, via the speech bubble icon in the bottom right of the website. They're on hand 24/7 to answer any queries or questions you have. Alternatively, you can email [email protected] and someone should reply to you within 24 hours.

It's possible you won't need to get in touch with customer support though, as TonyBet has an in-depth FAQs section. Here, you'll find the answer to many common queries regarding sports rules, banking methods and account queries.

Registration Process at TonyBet Sports

We found the registration process at TonyBet to be a breeze. First, choose if you'd like to avail of the sports welcome reward or the casino welcome gift (or no gifts). Then enter your email address and choose a safe password for your account. In Step 2, confirm your name, gender, and date of birth. The final step is to provide your home address and phone number. There's also an option to opt into receiving emails regarding special rewards, which we always recommend doing.

That's it. You'll immediately be logged in to your new TonyBet Sports account and ready to check out what events they have, make your first deposit, claim the welcome package and place your bets.

VIP/Loyalty Programmes

The VIP program at TonyBet is something you should get involved in. For every $3 of settled wagers with minimum odds of 1.3, you will receive one comp point (CP). As you earn more comp points throughout the month, you may move up the various VIP tiers. All players start on level 1. After 150 CP's, you move to level 2, 1,500 CP's gets you to level 3, 7,500 CP's earns level 4 status, and so on, all the way to level 6. What's even better is that you earn additional comp points every time you move up to the next level.

Every month, the points are reset and the TonyBet comp points you built up in the previous month are moved to your reward balance. From here, you can convert your balance into free bets which can be used on any sporting event you like. We're big fans of transparent VIP programs like this, which reward players for their loyalty.

TonyBet Responsible Gambling Features

TonyBet aim to provide their customers with a safe and fun environment for sports betting. To help achieve that, Deposit limits and loss limits can be added manually to accounts. If you wish to add one to your TonyBet account, simply go to the Responsible Gaming hub, which can be found at the bottom of the homepage.

In there, there's also a lot of information on organizations who can help people who have gaming issues and details on the self-exclusion policy. There's also a very helpful self-assessment and advice on how to prevent your betting from becoming problematic.

Our Verdict

We were very impressed by the sheer amount of betting markets at TonyBet Sports. They have everything from the biggest hockey and NFL games to lower league soccer fixtures covered. Their in-play offering is great too, with live stats showing you exactly how the action is unfolding. With a great welcome reward and frequent free bets for existing customers, it's no wonder TonyBet is so popular with Canadian sports bettors.
