Sports Interaction Review Ontario 2026: Is It Legit?

Sports Interaction is one of the oldest names in Canadian sports betting, and for most of its history it served bettors nationally under a Kahnawà:ke licence. The Ontario product is a different animal: it went live in the province in August 2022, about four months after the regulated market opened on 4 April, and is operated by ElectraWorks Maple Limited.

It is registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and operates under an agreement with iGaming Ontario, so players get a fully regulated product with local funds handling, responsible-gambling tools and dispute resolution inside the provincial framework.

That split matters more than most reviews admit. If you have used Sports Interaction in another province, your account, balance and promotions there do not carry over — Ontario runs its own AGCO-regulated platform, while the rest of Canada is still served by a separate Kahnawà:ke-licensed product. Everything in this review describes the Ontario version.

Sports Interaction's ownership history is unusual for a betting brand. It launched in 1997 under Mohawk Online Limited, owned by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke, operating under a Kahnawake Gaming Commission licence — one of the oldest dedicated online gambling regulators in the world, established the year before Sports Interaction itself went live. In 2022, the same year Ontario opened its regulated market, Entain's Avid Gaming subsidiary bought the brand for roughly $300 million. That partnership didn't last: in late 2024 the Mohawk Council ended it, citing the changed regulatory landscape for gaming in Canada, and Entain took full ownership of the brand, its Ontario licence and its customer base outright. What that history buys an Ontario bettor today is a book that's genuinely embedded in Canadian sport rather than a global brand's regional outpost — visible in its sponsorship of Hockey Night in Canada and a newer tie-in with Amazon Prime Video's NHL coverage.

Sports Interaction's board is built around the Canadian calendar. Hockey is the centre of gravity — full NHL markets, deep prop menus and live betting that holds up through the chaotic stretches of a game — and the CFL sits right beside it, covered in the next section. The NFL board reacts quickly to injury news, and NBA and MLB coverage is competent: main markets, player props and live betting, but not the depth you would open this account for. Soccer is present at a similar level.

Hockey and Canadian football are where Sports Interaction's heritage pays off most. On the ice, the NHL board is sharp and confident: puck line versus moneyline value on Leafs and Sens games holds up against sharp consensus, the early props go up reliably, and live markets stay open through a power play more often than not — exactly what you would expect from a book that has priced Canadian hockey for decades.

The Canadian football coverage is the other tell. Where many Ontario books treat the CFL as a sideline, Sports Interaction prices it as a priority, with full markets through the regular season and into the Grey Cup. Combined with quick-reacting NFL spreads and props, that makes it a genuine destination for gridiron bettors on both sides of the border — and a reminder of which sports this book was built around.

The Sports Interaction app runs on iOS and Android and does the everyday jobs without fuss: bet slip, live markets, cash out and account settings are all a tap or two away. It is less polished than the market leaders' apps, and there is no in-app streaming to watch a game alongside your bets — if streaming matters to you, that is a genuine gap rather than a matter of taste.

Where Sports Interaction does better than many rivals is support. Live chat, email and phone support all run around the clock, so a verification question or a disputed settlement at midnight doesn't have to wait until the next business day.

Sports Interaction accounts are held in Canadian dollars only. Deposits start at $10, carry no fees and land instantly through Interac e-Transfer, Visa and Mastercard, and Apple Pay. Crypto is not accepted in either direction.

Withdrawals are closed-loop, going back to the method you deposited with, and the first one is the slowest: allow up to five business days while identity verification completes, and upload your documents early to avoid sitting in that queue. After that, Interac e-Transfer is usually the quickest route, often inside a day. One withdrawal per calendar month is free; further withdrawals in the same month, and some smaller ones, can carry a fee depending on the method — check the cashier before splitting a cash-out into several requests.

Sports Interaction is for players 19 and over and provides the full suite of AGCO-mandated responsible-gambling tools: deposit, wager and loss limits, time-out periods, session reminders and reality checks, all set directly from your account. Self-exclusion is available through Ontario's BetGuard program.

If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential help is available through ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 or connexontario.ca, 24 hours a day. Set a deposit limit before your first bet rather than after a bad night — it is easier to keep a limit you chose with a clear head.

Sports Interaction's case in Ontario is narrow but solid. Its NHL and CFL boards are among the best reasons in the province to hold a second account, the banking is simple and honest about its limits, and the support team is reachable at any hour.

It is not an all-rounder. There is no live streaming, no crypto, the first withdrawal is slower than rivals', and the NBA and soccer menus trail the market leaders. Open it for hockey and Canadian football, keep a bigger book alongside it for everything else, and it earns a solid 7.5.
