theScore Bet Review Canada

Is theScore Bet legal in Canada?

theScore Bet is licensed and legal in Ontario, where it operates under iGaming Ontario (iGO) with oversight from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The minimum betting age in Ontario is 19.

Canada does not license online sportsbooks federally. iGaming Ontario and the AGCO regulate the Ontario market specifically — that is not a Canada-wide permit. Other provinces run their own regimes through provincial lottery corporations and regulators, which means operator availability and legal status vary depending on where you live.

Practically, that means:

• If you're in Ontario, theScore Bet operates within the regulated iGO market and its licence safety score of 8.9/10 reflects that clear regulatory footing.
• If you're in Alberta, British Columbia or another province, check what applies locally before assuming access — the Ontario registration does not automatically extend to your province.

On safety, our assessment is limited to the regulatory status stated in the data: theScore Bet holds an Ontario iGaming registration. We do not make first-hand claims beyond that licence check.

Ratings at a glance

Here is how theScore Bet scores across the categories we rate, on a 10-point scale:

• Licence safety: 8.9
• App: 8.8
• Payments: 8.3
• Features: 8.0
• Withdrawals: 8.0
• Sports depth: 7.9
• Live capability: 7.9
• Bet Builder: 7.8
• Support: 7.8
• Market coverage: 7.7
• Odds: 7.3

The pattern is consistent: theScore Bet is built around a polished, licensed mobile product. The app and licence are its two standout categories, and payments and withdrawals are solid. Odds are the weakest area at 7.3, which is the main trade-off to weigh before you commit a bankroll here.

The theScore Bet app on iOS and Android

The app is theScore Bet's headline feature, rating 8.8/10 — the second-highest score in the entire profile. It's available on both iOS and Android.

theScore Bet grew out of a sports-media app, and that heritage shows in how betting is layered onto scores, stats and news. If you already follow leagues on a phone, the transition to betting from within the same style of interface is a natural one. That integration is the clearest reason to choose theScore Bet over a book you'd only ever open to place a wager.

For bettors who live in the app rather than a desktop site — checking the NHL slate on the commute, throwing together a same game parlay during an NBA broadcast — the 8.8 score reflects a product designed mobile-first rather than ported down from a website.

If you mainly bet from a laptop, the app advantage matters less to you, and the lower odds score (7.3) becomes the more important number.

Payment methods: Interac, Visa and Apple Pay

theScore Bet supports three deposit methods in the data we hold:

• Interac — the standard Canadian bank-transfer method most bettors here default to
• Visa — card deposits
• Apple Pay — quick mobile checkout, which fits the app-first design

The minimum deposit is $10, which is low enough for casual stakes and testing the waters.

Payments score 8.3/10. Interac and Apple Pay cover the two most common ways Canadian bettors move money — Interac for direct bank funding and Apple Pay for one-tap deposits inside the app. If you specifically want to fund with something outside these three methods, confirm availability in-app before you rely on it, since we only list the methods in our data.

For method-specific shortlists, see Interac betting sites and Apple Pay betting sites.

theScore Bet withdrawal times and payouts

Withdrawals are rated 8.0/10, with a quoted payout window of 0–24 hours.

That 0–24h range means cash-outs can clear same-day, though the exact timing depends on the method and any verification your account still needs to complete. Ontario-regulated books require identity checks, so the first withdrawal often takes longer than later ones once your details are verified.

A few practical points:

• Withdrawing back to Interac is the typical route for Canadian bettors and keeps money inside your bank.
• Complete identity verification early — before you're waiting on a payout — so the first cash-out isn't held up.
• We do not claim to have processed a withdrawal ourselves; the 0–24h figure and the 8.0 rating come from our data, not a first-hand payout test.

If fast cash-out is your priority above all else, compare options on our fast payout betting sites list.

Odds and market coverage

Odds are theScore Bet's lowest-rated category at 7.3/10, and market coverage sits at 7.7. Sports depth is a touch higher at 7.9.

What this tells you: theScore Bet gives you meaningful depth across major North American and international sports, but the prices attached to those markets aren't its strong suit. For bettors who line-shop and care about squeezing the best available number on every wager, 7.3 is a signal to check prices elsewhere before staking.

Where theScore Bet earns its keep is the combination of a strong app plus reasonable sports depth — good if you want a smooth place to watch scores and bet, less compelling if you're purely price-driven.

Sports and competitions you can bet on

theScore Bet's sports depth rates 7.9/10, with strong coverage of the leagues Canadian bettors follow most:

• Ice Hockey — including the NHL
• Basketball — NBA and EuroLeague
• American Football — NFL
• Baseball — MLB
• MMA / UFC
• Football (soccer) — Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League, Europa League, Copa Libertadores and the World Cup
• Tennis — ATP Tour and WTA Tour

For Canadian bettors, the NHL and NBA coverage plus NFL and MLB gives you the core North American slate, while the football competitions extend into European and South American club and international play.

Live betting, Same Game Parlay and Cash Out

theScore Bet's features rate 8.0/10, and live capability scores 7.9. The listed features are:

• Live Betting — bet in-play as games unfold
• Same Game Parlay — combine multiple markets from a single match into one wager
• Cash Out — settle a bet early to lock in a return or cut a loss

The Same Game Parlay is the feature most likely to draw casual bettors: stacking, say, a player prop with a game total on the same NBA or NHL match, all in one slip. Bet Builder capability rates 7.8, so multi-leg single-game bets are part of the product.

Cash Out pairs naturally with the app's live scores — if you're already watching the game inside theScore Bet, taking an early cash-out on a live position is a couple of taps away.

How to sign up for theScore Bet

Signing up follows the standard Ontario regulated process. Because we don't make first-hand account claims, here's what the requirements imply rather than a walkthrough we've personally completed:

• You must be 19 or older and physically located where theScore Bet is legally available — in the regulated market that means Ontario.
• You'll provide identity details for verification, as required under iGaming Ontario rules.
• Fund with a supported method: Interac, Visa or Apple Pay, with a $10 minimum deposit.
• Complete identity verification early so your first withdrawal isn't delayed.

We don't list a specific welcome offer in our data, so confirm any current promotion directly in the app rather than relying on a figure quoted elsewhere.

Who theScore Bet suits — and who should look elsewhere

Choose theScore Bet if:

• You bet primarily from your phone and want a polished, app-first experience (app 8.8/10).
• You're in Ontario and want a book with a clear iGaming Ontario registration (licence safety 8.9/10).
• Interac or Apple Pay are your preferred deposit methods.
• You value same-day withdrawal potential (0–24h) and features like Same Game Parlay and Cash Out.
• You already follow scores and stats and want betting integrated into that experience.

Look elsewhere if:

• Odds are your top priority — 7.3/10 is the weakest category, and line-shoppers will want to compare prices.
• You're outside Ontario and can't confirm the book is legally available in your province.
• You need a payment method beyond Interac, Visa or Apple Pay.

In short, theScore Bet is a strong pick for app-focused Ontario bettors and a weaker one for price-hunters. Weigh the 8.8 app and 8.9 licence scores against the 7.3 odds rating based on how you actually bet.
