What this proves: bet365's Ontario withdrawal methods page lists 1 to 4 hours for Interac and cards, with a C$10 minimum.

4 screenshots of its own pages in the review below

One of the biggest sportsbooks in Ontario, with a casino of close to 3,000 games and published withdrawal times of 1 to 4 hours for most methods. What it lacks is a loyalty programme you can see before you sign up, and its terms charge a fee on balances left in dormant accounts.

bet365 is a betting company whose customer services mailing address is in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and its Ontario site is run by companies registered in Malta. The site puts the sportsbook first, and the same account opens its casino, live dealer tables included. This review covers each part, starting with what matters most: whether it’s legal and how fast it pays.

Is bet365 legal in Ontario?

Yes. bet365’s Ontario terms say the sportsbook is run by Hillside (International Sports) ENC and the casino and live casino by Hillside (International Gaming) ENC. Both are companies registered in Malta, and both are licensed and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario under registration number OPIG1232411. The terms also say they offer their products as agents of iGaming Ontario. Horse racing bets are the exception: those are offered on behalf of Woodbine Entertainment Group.

The licence notice sits in the footer of every page of the Ontario site.

Regulation is the whole point. A regulated casino has to check who you are, keep your money separate from its own, give you tools to limit your play, and answer to an Ontario regulator if it messes up. An offshore site that “accepts Canadians” owes you none of that.

bet365 is on iGaming Ontario’s list of regulated sites for casino and sports betting, under the operator name Hillside (International Sports) ENC.

How fast does bet365 pay out?

Quickly, by its own figures. bet365’s Ontario help centre lists a processing time for each withdrawal method:

1. Apple Pay: instant.
2. Interac, debit cards, credit cards and PayPal: 1 to 4 hours.
3. Bank transfer: within 12 hours.

For cards and bank transfers, bet365 says it aims to process your withdrawal within 2 hours of your request, and your bank may then pay it out straight away. Withdrawals to an international card or bank account can take longer, up to 2 to 5 banking days for some debit cards.

You can follow a withdrawal in your account history. bet365’s help article on withdrawal status explains each stage, from “Processing Withdrawal” to “Withdrawal left bet365”.

Your first withdrawal can wait on identity checks. The terms say bet365 checks your age, identity, address and location when you register, and may ask for more documents later, for example when you reach certain amounts. Until those checks are done, it can hold back withdrawals.

Deposits and withdrawals

bet365’s Ontario help centre lists seven deposit methods, all marked instant, and six ways to withdraw. The minimum withdrawal is C$10 for every method except PayPal, which is C$20.

Withdrawals go back to the method you deposited with where possible. If that can’t be done, bet365 pays you by bank transfer instead, and if you’ve deposited with more than one method, the terms say a withdrawal is split between them. There’s no daily withdrawal limit, only the per-transaction limits above.

bet365 doesn’t charge for card or Interac deposits, though its terms warn that some card issuers treat betting as a cash advance and charge for it.

One fee to know about: if your account has no activity at all for 365 days, the terms class it as dormant. If there’s money in it, bet365 tries to contact you, and 28 days later starts taking an administration fee of C$4 or 5% of the balance, whichever is greater, every 28 days. Withdraw what’s left before you stop playing.

The sportsbook

The sportsbook is the front page of bet365’s Ontario site. Its A to Z menu listed more than 40 sports when we checked, from hockey, football, basketball, baseball and soccer to curling, lacrosse, darts, snooker, Gaelic sports and esports. The top menu leads with the NFL, NHL, NBA, CFL, MLS, NCAA football and the PGA TOUR.

Its App Store listing and Ontario help centre name the features worth knowing:

• Live streaming, which bet365 says covers hundreds of thousands of events a year.
• Match Live, live stats and graphics for in-play events, which you can use without logging in.
• Same Game Parlays, Cash Out and Early Payout, which can settle a bet as a winner if your pick goes far enough ahead.
• A live golf tracker and stats for every major competition.

Casino games

bet365’s Ontario casino lobby had 2,932 games in its All Games section when we checked. The lobby splits them into new games, live casino, bet365 exclusives, slots, table games, jackpots and arcade games, plus sections for Megaways, crash games, Slingo and bet365’s own Originals.

The provider filter lists close to 50 studios, including Playtech, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Light & Wonder, IGT, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Hacksaw and Nolimit City. You can also filter games by volatility and by return (RTP).

What it costs to play

Every casino game keeps a share of what you bet over time. With standard rules, blackjack played with basic strategy keeps about 0.5% to 1%, baccarat’s Banker bet about 1.1%, single-zero roulette 2.7% and double-zero roulette 5.26%. Most slots keep between 3% and 6%, but lower versions of some games keep 10% or more.

At the tables, check the rules panel before you sit down. A blackjack table that pays 6 to 5 instead of 3 to 2, or a roulette wheel with a double zero, costs you far more than the game next to it.

To see what a slot pays back at bet365, open its rules or info screen, or use the RTP filter in the lobby. It shows the RTP of the version bet365 runs, which can be lower than the figure on the game maker’s site. Our casino odds page has the figures game by game.

Rewards

bet365 doesn’t publish a loyalty programme for Ontario. We couldn’t find points rates, levels or tiers on its public pages or in its help centre.

The Rewards button on its site asks you to log in. Its help centre says the Rewards Hub shows offers you can opt into for sports and casino, plus boosts on selected bets. That’s a list of offers, not a programme that rewards you for how much you play. Compare that with BetRivers, which lists exactly what you earn on every game type.

The app

bet365’s main app is its sportsbook. On Apple’s Canadian App Store, as of 8 November 2026, bet365 Sports Betting is rated 4.7 from about 184,000 ratings, takes up 49.2 MB and needs iOS 15.0 or later. Its seller is Hillside Technology Limited, and the listing says you must be 19 or older and in Ontario to use it in Ontario.

The same seller lists a separate bet365 Casino app, rated 4.4 from about 3,100 ratings, but its listing doesn’t say which provinces it serves.

How to sign up

1. Go to the Ontario site, on.bet365.ca, and choose Join.
2. Enter your details and confirm you’re 19 or older. You can only deposit from payment methods in your own name.
3. Be in Ontario. You can only bet or play while you’re physically in the province.
4. Upload your ID if asked. bet365 can hold back withdrawals until its identity checks are done, so do it straight away.

Customer support

bet365’s contact page offers live chat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, plus a webform. Its social media channels are listed as open 24/7 too. We couldn’t find a support phone number. Its complaints procedure says it aims to answer a complaint within 48 hours, and if you disagree with its final answer, you can take it to iGaming Ontario.

What players complain about

We read the 322 one- and two-star reviews of bet365’s sports and casino apps posted on Apple’s Canadian App Store between November 2025 and 6 November 2026. These are the complaints that came up most:

• Limits on winning players. A common complaint on the sports app: players who say their stakes were cut or their account closed after a run of wins.
• Cash-outs and settled bets. Some say a bet they had cashed out or seen settled as a win was later changed.
• App problems. Bugs after updates, logins that fail and an app that won’t load.
• Support. Players say it’s hard to reach a person, including when moving their account to another province.

These are complaints, not findings. We can’t check individual cases, and unhappy players are far more likely to leave a review than happy ones, so this shows what can go wrong rather than how often it does. Complaints that slots are rigged turn up at every casino we review, so we’ve left them out.

Safer gambling tools

bet365’s responsible gaming page covers these tools:

1. Deposit limits, set by hours or days.
2. Loss limits for sports and casino.
3. Reality checks, reminders of how long you’ve been playing.
4. A time-out, for a break from gambling.
5. Self-exclusion.
6. My Activity, a record of your play.

Like every regulated Ontario site, bet365 honours BetGuard, the province’s single sign-up to block yourself from every legal gambling site, and links to it in the header of its Ontario site. Our responsible gambling page explains how each tool works.

Where bet365 is available in Canada

bet365 runs regulated sites in Ontario and Alberta, each under its own licence, and you have to be physically in the province to bet or play. Our bet365 Alberta review covers the Alberta site.

Verdict

bet365 is a safe, regulated choice with one of the deepest sports menus in Ontario. Its casino of close to 3,000 games is no afterthought either. It publishes withdrawal times of 1 to 4 hours for most methods, which is better than most. Where it falls short is rewards: there’s no loyalty programme you can see before you sign up. Keep your account active or withdraw your balance, because a dormant account starts losing money to fees.
