Best Betting Sites Canada: Apple Pay + Ice Hockey
Four operators in our Canada data accept Apple Pay and run full ice hockey markets: bet365, Betway, Unibet and theScore Bet. All four hold iGaming Ontario registrations, take a $10 minimum deposit and publish 0–24h withdrawal windows. If you fund an NHL bet from your iPhone or Apple Watch and want the cash back quickly, this is the shortlist. Availability varies by province — Apple Pay support and legal status differ outside Ontario.
Broadest coverage in this comparison, scoring 9.6 for markets and 9.5 for sports depth, with a 9.4 live rating and integrated live streaming. The app rates 9.3, Interac, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay are all supported, and iGaming Ontario licensing backs a 9.5 safety mark. Deposits start at CAD 10 with withdrawals inside 0–24h. Choose bet365 if you want the widest range of sports and in-play options under one roof.
Media roots show in a strong 8.8 app rating that outpaces its 7.7 market coverage and 7.3 odds marks. Apple Pay joins Interac and Visa, safety sits at 8.9, and same-game parlays plus cash-out feature from a CAD 10 minimum with 0–24h payouts. Choose theScore Bet if a slick mobile experience and Canadian sports familiarity matter more than depth of markets.
Live streaming pairs with a matching 8.4 live rating here, and Apple Pay joins Interac and Visa. Pricing is modest — an 8.0% best-price share across 199 sampled odds and a 5.81% margin — while the app scores 8.4 and withdrawals clear in 0–24h. Cash-out and bet builder are covered from CAD 10. Choose Unibet if watching and betting in one place matters more than getting the top line.
A solid all-rounder carrying a 9.0 safety rating and Apple Pay alongside Interac and Visa, though its 11.3% best-price share and 6.05% average margin sit mid-pack. The app posts 8.7 and payouts land within 0–24h from a CAD 10 minimum. Bet builder and cash-out feature. Choose Betway if you value a dependable, well-licensed book with mobile wallet support over sharp pricing.
Why Apple Pay + Ice Hockey is a different ranking
4 licensed Canada books accept Apple Pay and actually price Ice Hockey. That intersection is the list — a site that takes Apple Pay but thin-covers Ice Hockey, or the reverse, is not here. bet365, theScore Bet, Unibet sit at the top of this cut.
Ice Hockey coverage on this page is judged against the leagues Canada bettors actually price: NHL. bet365 leads measured market coverage (9.6/10) and live product (9.4/10) among the Apple Pay books.
Apple Pay deposit is the entry ticket; the payout question is whether winnings can come back the same way. Published withdrawal windows among these 4 books: 0–24h. That is the Apple Pay × cash-out intersection — it does not appear on the sport-only page.
On sampled Ice Hockey prices, Unibet holds the best available line 16% of the time. Average margin across this Apple Pay + Ice Hockey cut is 6.4% — a different number from the unfiltered country ranking.
| Operator | Apple Pay | Sport coverage | Live betting | Withdrawal time |

| theScore Bet | ✓ | 7.7 | 7.9 | 0–24h |

| Betway | ✓ | 8.4 | 8.3 | 0–24h |
Who accepts Apple Pay and covers ice hockey
Every operator below is confirmed in our data to take Apple Pay as a deposit method and carry ice hockey, including the NHL:
- bet365 — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa, Mastercard. Withdrawals 0–24h. Highest hockey product depth here (sportsDepth 9.5, liveCapability 9.4) plus Live Streaming and Bet Builder.
- Betway — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa. Withdrawals 0–24h. Cash Out and Bet Builder; sampled margin around 6.14%.
- Unibet — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa. Withdrawals 0–24h. Live Streaming and the tightest sampled margin of the group at roughly 5.82%.
- theScore Bet — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa. Withdrawals 0–24h. Strong mobile app (app 8.8) and Same Game Parlay for building multi-leg NHL bets.
All four support iOS and Android apps, which matters if Apple Pay is your default wallet — you can deposit inside the app without typing card numbers.
How the Apple Pay group compares to the full hockey ranking
Filtering to Apple Pay narrows the field but keeps the strongest hockey book in our data. bet365 leads on market coverage (9.6), sports depth (9.5) and live capability (9.4), so requiring Apple Pay does not force you down to a weaker product.
On price, the two operators we sampled tell different stories. Unibet posted the lower average margin (about 5.82% across 207 sampled markets) versus Betway (about 6.14% across 193 markets), and Unibet edged best-price share (10.1% vs 9.8%). For NHL moneylines and puck-line pricing, a lower margin means marginally better returns over time. bet365 and theScore Bet were not sampled for margin, so we rate them on product features rather than price here.
If your priority is live hockey — in-play markets during a period, plus streaming — bet365 and Unibet both list Live Streaming; Betway and theScore Bet do not in our data.
NHL fixtures you can bet with these books
Ice hockey demand in Canada is driven by the NHL, and the upcoming slate is loaded with Canadian sides. Recent fixtures in our data include Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montréal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks, plus US matchups like Carolina Hurricanes vs Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins vs New York Rangers.
For these games, the practical differences are: theScore Bet's Same Game Parlay lets you combine, say, an Oilers moneyline with a Connor McDavid points prop into one slip; bet365's Bet Builder does similar and adds Live Streaming; Unibet's tighter margin helps on straight moneylines. All accept an Apple Pay deposit from $10 to get a slip funded before puck drop.
Which one to choose
Choose bet365 if you want the deepest hockey markets, in-play depth and streaming, and Apple Pay is simply your preferred deposit route. It scores highest across coverage and live capability in our data.
Choose Unibet if price matters most — it had the lowest sampled margin and best best-price share of the two operators we measured, and it also lists Live Streaming.
Choose theScore Bet if the app experience and Same Game Parlay are your priority (app rating 8.8) and you build multi-leg NHL slips.
Choose Betway if you want a straightforward book with Cash Out and Bet Builder; it trails Unibet slightly on sampled margin, so it's a fine all-rounder rather than the sharpest price.
Note that Apple Pay is typically a deposit method — check each operator's cashier for whether withdrawals route back to Apple Pay or to Interac/your card. Published withdrawal windows are 0–24h across all four.
Legality and safety in Canada
All four operators hold iGaming Ontario registrations, regulated by the AGCO and iGaming Ontario in Ontario. That is a provincial framework, not a Canada-wide licence: Ontario runs its own regulated market, while other provinces operate through provincial lottery corporations and regulators. Apple Pay availability and whether an operator is legally offered can differ by province, so confirm what applies where you live before depositing. The minimum betting age is 19.
How we rank
Every operator on this page went through the same checklist before it could be listed for Canada: we verify the licence against the regulator's public register, document the payment methods, minimum deposits and published withdrawal windows, review the apps and measure everyday odds against our live feed. Safety and payout reliability carry the heaviest weight in the final score, followed by payment coverage, app quality and pricing. If a site fails licence verification, it isn't ranked lower — it's excluded. This page re-weights the same checklist for Apple Pay · Ice Hockey: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
AGCO and iGaming Ontario regulate online betting in Ontario specifically — not Canada-wide. Other provinces run their own regimes (provincial lottery corporations and regulators), so operator availability and legal status vary by province. Always check what applies where you live.
