In Ontario? Read our theScore Bet Ontario review.
theScore Bet is the betting and casino brand of theScore, the Canadian sports news app, run from Toronto by Score Media and Gaming Inc., part of PENN Entertainment. It opened in Alberta when the province licensed private operators in 2026. thescore.bet showed us a bot check from Alberta, which we don’t get around, so this review is built from theScore’s own help centre, its Alberta terms, the App Store and the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory. Where something is only published for Ontario, we say so.
Is theScore Bet legal in Alberta?
Yes. theScore’s Alberta Specific Terms, in force since 13 July 2026, say Score Media and Gaming Inc. provides theScore Bet, theScore Casino and Hollywood Casino in Alberta on behalf of the Alberta iGaming Corporation, and is registered as an internet gaming operator with the AGLC. The terms don’t give a registration number.
theScore Bet Sportsbook and theScore Casino are both on the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory of registered sites, operated by Score Media and Gaming, Inc.
How fast does theScore Bet pay out in Alberta?
theScore’s withdrawal article says every withdrawal request can take up to 72 hours to process, then 1 to 3 business days to arrive depending on the method. Its Interac article puts every transaction through a 24-hour review, after which an Interac withdrawal reaches you within the hour if you have auto-deposit switched on.
You have to upload government ID before you can withdraw at all, so do it when you sign up.

Deposits and withdrawals
The minimum is C$10 for every withdrawal method. That’s as much as theScore publishes for Alberta. Its withdrawal article lists the methods for Ontario players, Visa Debit, online banking through Trustly, Interac, PayPal and EFT, but doesn’t list Alberta’s, and its general payment methods page covers every province and US state at once. Check the cashier before you deposit, and use Interac if it’s there.
The sportsbook and casino
The sportsbook is theScore Bet’s main product. Its App Store listing covers the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college sports, golf, UFC, tennis and the Champions League, with same game parlays, in-play betting and early cash out. Its Alberta terms also bring theScore Casino and Hollywood Casino to Alberta, on the same account.
We couldn’t open the casino lobby from Alberta without allowing location access in the browser, so we can’t give you an Alberta game count. Our Ontario review counted more than 1,900 games on theScore’s Ontario casino.
Rewards
theScore doesn’t publish a loyalty programme for Alberta. Its help centre lists daily reward offers in Alberta, such as Game Day Rewards, but these are by invitation only, based on how much you’ve played, so you can’t plan around them.
The apps
The sportsbook app is rated 4.7 from about 30,000 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store, and theScore Casino has its own app, also rated 4.7. Both listings cover Alberta as well as Ontario.
How to sign up
- Download the theScore Bet app, or go to thescore.bet, while you’re in Alberta.
- Enter your name, date of birth and address, and confirm you’re 18 or older.
- Allow the location check. You can log in and withdraw from anywhere, but you can only bet while you’re in Alberta.
- Upload government ID. You can’t withdraw until you have.
Customer support
theScore’s complaints article says support for Alberta players runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by live chat or email at [email protected]. It promises an answer to a complaint within 5 days.
What players complain about
We read the 107 one- and two-star reviews of theScore Bet and theScore Casino apps posted on Apple’s Canadian App Store between November 2025 and 6 November 2026. The same app serves Ontario and Alberta, and reviews don’t say which province the player is in. These are the complaints that came up most:
- Support. Players describe slow or dismissive replies, including when a glitch hit a winning bet.
- Offers and odds. Bettors say promotions and odds are weaker than at the bigger sportsbooks.
- App freezes. The app freezing or refusing to place bets.
- Suspended accounts and missing withdrawals. Accounts suspended without a clear reason, and withdrawals players say never reached their bank.
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
theScore’s self-exclusion article lets Alberta players exclude themselves for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or life. Once it’s accepted, you can’t bet with theScore anywhere, open bets are cancelled and your balance is sent to you by cheque. It also links to the AGLC’s self-exclusion programme, which covers every regulated site in Alberta, and to GameSense. Our responsible gambling page explains how each tool works.
Where theScore Bet is available in Canada
theScore Bet is regulated in Alberta and Ontario. You can log in and withdraw from anywhere, but you can only bet while you’re physically in one of those provinces. Our theScore Bet Ontario review covers the Ontario site.

Verdict
theScore Bet is a legitimate, registered choice in Alberta, and its app is one of the best-rated in Canada. It’s the natural pick if you already follow sports on theScore. But it publishes less for Alberta than for Ontario, withdrawals can sit for up to 72 hours before they’re sent, and there’s no loyalty programme. If payout speed matters most, look at BetRivers.
