New Betting Sites
Ontario 2026
Four newer, fully registered Ontario sportsbooks — each AGCO-registered under an iGaming Ontario operating agreement, with modern mobile platforms and sharp markets for the NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL.
Why Consider a New Betting Site?
Some long-running books carry legacy platform weight — interfaces designed for an earlier era and patched rather than rebuilt. Newer entrants to Ontario were designed mobile-first from day one. They tend to load faster, navigate more cleanly, and integrate Interac e-Transfer and card payments more reliably — and a few, like theScore Bet, were built right here in Toronto.
What hasn't changed: the registration standard. Every bookmaker on this list is AGCO-registered and operating under an agreement with iGaming Ontario — the same regulatory standard as bet365 or FanDuel. Newer platform, same legal protection.
Best New Betting Sites Ontario 2026
AGCO-registered · iGaming Ontario operating agreement
Media-and-bet in a single app — the deepest Maple Leafs and Raptors integration in the market
theScore Bet grew out of a Toronto sports-media app, and that DNA shows: live scores, news, and the bet slip live in the same place, so you never leave the moment to back a Maple Leafs power play or a Raptors run. The hockey-forward market depth and clean, homegrown feel make it a natural primary account for Ontario bettors who already live in the app.

Live betting and Bet Builder are among the most fluid for in-game NHL and NBA action
Betano arrived in Ontario as a modern, mobile-first platform and leans hard into the in-play experience — its live betting and Bet Builder let you assemble a market mid-game without the lag that drags down older books. For bettors who watch the Blue Jays or follow NBA nights and want to react as the game turns, the live product is the draw.

Hockey-forward markets and a fast, no-clutter app built for the Canadian bettor
Bet99 is Canadian to the core and centres its product on the sport Ontario follows most closely — hockey. The app is quick and uncluttered, the puck-line and totals markets run deep through the NHL season, and Interac e-Transfer keeps deposits and withdrawals on home rails. A dependable, locally-minded account for hockey-led bettors.

Among the lowest minimums in Ontario — built for bettors who want to start small
ToonieBet keeps things deliberately simple — low minimums, a clean interface, and no friction getting started. It will not out-feature bet365 on market depth, but for a first Ontario account, or a low-stakes second book to shop a Maple Leafs or Bills line, the accessibility and straightforward experience make it an easy place to begin.
What to Check Before Joining a New Bookmaker
Confirm AGCO Registration
Every legitimate Ontario book is AGCO-registered and appears on the iGaming Ontario list of registered operators, usually noted in the footer or on an About/Legal page. If you cannot confirm it, do not deposit. Registration determines who regulates the platform and what recourse you have if something goes wrong.
Test the Mobile App First
Install the app from the App Store or Google Play, load a market, check how quickly the odds update, and attempt a small deposit before committing. Newer platforms should feel fast and clean — theScore Bet and Betano set the bar here. If it feels laggy at the start, it will not improve.
Check Ontario Payment Methods
Interac e-Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, and debit are the Ontario standard. Interac is the home rail — fast and direct to your Canadian bank account, with no conversion friction. Withdrawals via Interac should typically reach your account within 24 to 48 hours.
Confirm Your Sports Are Covered
Check that the NHL (particularly your team), NBA, MLB, and NFL are all available with competitive markets. A newer book with thin odds on the Maple Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, or Bills is not worth your primary betting account even if the interface is modern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are new betting sites in Ontario safe to use?
Yes — provided they are AGCO-registered and operating under an agreement with iGaming Ontario. Every bookmaker listed on this page is registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and appears on the iGaming Ontario list of registered operators. Newer to the market does not mean unregulated — all four platforms on this page meet the same Registrar’s Standards as bet365 or FanDuel.
What should I look for in a new betting site?
Registration comes first — confirm the operator is AGCO-registered and on the iGaming Ontario list. Then assess: Ontario payment methods (Interac e-Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, debit), mobile app quality, withdrawal speed, and whether the markets cover the sports you bet on — NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL, plus the teams you follow like the Maple Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays, and Bills.
Which new bookmaker has the best mobile app?
theScore Bet has the most distinctive app among the newer Ontario books — Toronto-built, with live scores, news, and the bet slip fused into one screen, and a hockey-forward feel that suits Maple Leafs and Senators bettors. Betano is the standout for a modern, fluid live-betting experience, with a flexible Bet Builder for in-game NHL and NBA markets.
