A Toronto-run sportsbook and casino with a C$10 minimum withdrawal and one of the best-rated betting apps in the province. It loses points for slow published payout times and for keeping any loyalty details behind the login.

theScore Bet is the betting and casino brand of theScore, the Canadian sports news app. Its Ontario sites are run from Toronto by Score Media and Gaming Inc., and the footer of its Ontario casino carries the logo of PENN Entertainment, which also runs Hollywood Casino. One account covers the sportsbook and the casino. This review covers each part, starting with what matters most: whether it’s legal and how fast it pays.

Is theScore Bet legal in Ontario?

Yes. The footer of theScore’s Ontario casino says theScore Bet, theScore Casino and Hollywood Casino are regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Its jurisdiction terms name Score Media and Gaming Inc. as the company authorized to offer its services in Ontario, under iGaming Ontario and the AGCO, and its terms give a Toronto address on Queens Quay East.

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.

theScore is on iGaming Ontario’s list of regulated sites twice: theScore Bet for casino and sports betting, and theScore Casino for casino games.

How fast does theScore Bet pay out?

Slower than the fastest sites. theScore’s help article on withdrawals says every withdrawal request can take up to 72 hours to process, and then 1 to 3 business days to arrive, depending on the method. It doesn’t break those times down by method.

You also can’t withdraw at all until you’ve uploaded government-issued ID, so do it when you sign up. theScore can ask for proof that you own the account you’re paying out to as well.

Deposits and withdrawals

The minimum is C$10 for every deposit and withdrawal method, and deposits show in your wallet straight away. Once your deposits add up to more than C$2,500, you’ll need to verify your ID before you can deposit more.

theScore’s help centre lists the six withdrawal methods for Ontario but no Ontario list of deposit methods. Its terms name Visa and Mastercard cards, Interac debit, PayPal, Interac e-Transfer and wire transfer as deposit options, depending on the province, so check the cashier for what you can use. Its PayPal article says theScore charges no PayPal fees, and a PayPal deposit links that account for withdrawals later.

One cost to know about: theScore’s terms charge C$50 for each credit card chargeback you start.

The sportsbook

The sportsbook is theScore Bet’s main product, and it’s built to sit alongside theScore’s news and scores app. Its App Store listing covers the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college football and basketball, PGA golf, UFC, tennis on the ATP and WTA tours, and the Champions League. Bet types include money lines, spreads, totals, parlays, props, teasers and futures, before the game or in play.

The features worth knowing:

• Same game parlays.
• Early cash out, which lets you settle a bet before the event ends, for less than the full payout if it’s winning.
• Parlay Lounge, a section of trending parlay markets.
• Bet tracking.

Casino games

theScore’s Ontario casino describes itself as having more than 1,900 slots, table games and more; its casino app listing says more than 1,600. The lobby sorts them into slots, jackpots, Megaways, table games, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker and keno, and arcade games, with a Trending in Ontario section and DropZone jackpots on many slots.

The live dealer section includes theScore’s own branded blackjack tables, plus private and high limit VIP tables, and well-known live games such as Infinite Blackjack, Speed Baccarat and Monopoly Roulette. Some games are tagged as exclusives, such as theScore Bet Stacker Blackjack. Every game tile shows its minimum and maximum bet before you open it, which saves time.

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 theScore, open its rules or info screen. It shows the RTP of the version theScore 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

We couldn’t find a loyalty programme on theScore’s public Ontario pages. The casino has a Rewards button, but it leads straight to a login screen, and its help centre lists daily promotions rather than a points scheme with levels or tiers. If a loyalty programme matters to you, BetRivers publishes exactly what you earn on every game type.

The apps

theScore runs two apps in Ontario. On Apple’s Canadian App Store, as of 8 November 2026:

The sportsbook app includes casino games as well, so most people only need one. Both listings cover Ontario and Alberta, and the Ontario site links to an Android app on Google Play. If you have an older iPhone, check the iOS requirement first.

How to sign up

1. Download theScore Bet app, or go to thescore.bet, and choose Sign Up.
2. Enter your details and confirm you’re 19 or older.
3. Allow location access, with precise location turned on. You must be physically in Ontario to play or bet, and theScore checks this on your device.
4. Upload your government-issued ID. You can’t withdraw without it, and you’ll need it once your deposits pass C$2,500.

Customer support

theScore’s contact page offers a callback on 1-855-550-1238, live chat in the app, and email at [email protected]. The sportsbook’s app listing gives the same number and [email protected]. Support hours aren’t published.

If you complain, its Ontario disputes page says support will respond within five business days. If you’re still not satisfied after that, you can take it to iGaming Ontario.

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. 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 responsible play page lists more tools than most:

1. Deposit limits, spend limits and loss limits, set daily, weekly or monthly. Lowering a limit works straight away, but raising one means waiting out the period first, up to 31 days for a monthly limit.
2. A maximum single bet limit.
3. Cool off, a break of 1 day to 3 months.
4. Self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanently.
5. Reality checks that show how much time and money you’ve spent in a session.

Your limits are shared between theScore Bet and Hollywood Casino, so you can’t get around them by switching brands. Like every regulated Ontario site, theScore also honours BetGuard, the province’s single sign-up to block yourself from every legal gambling site, and shows it at the top of its casino lobby. Our responsible gambling page explains how each tool works.

Where theScore Bet is available in Canada

theScore’s help centre says it’s live in Ontario and Alberta, and you must be physically in a province where it operates to play. In Alberta you only need to be 18. Our theScore Bet Alberta review covers the Alberta site.

Verdict

theScore Bet is a safe, regulated choice run from Toronto, with a strong sportsbook and a low C$10 minimum withdrawal. Its safer gambling tools go further than most, with loss limits and a cap on single bets. Where it falls short is speed and rewards: withdrawals can take up to 72 hours to process before they’re sent, and there’s no published loyalty programme. If you already follow sport on theScore’s app, it’s the most natural place to bet.
