Bet365 bonuses and promotions in quantity but also in quality ★
A welcome bonus more interesting than it seems
The Bet365 welcome bonus is relatively simple: Bet365 matches 100% of the amount of your first deposit up to $200 in bet credits. All winnings from these bet credits are then available for withdrawal.
Of course, there are conditions, but they are not too complex:
- You have to wager the total sum of the first deposit and then the bet credits are added to your account
- Bet on events with odds of 1.20 (1/5) or higher
- Bets made with the deposit amount must be settled within 30 days
- Minimum deposit is $10
An example :
- You deposit $50
- You bet that $50 and Bet365 offers you $50 in betting credits
- You bet those $50 in credits and you win $125
- You can withdraw $75 (125-50) as credits are not cashable
An interesting bonus therefore since it does not require you to bet the deposit several times before you can take advantage of the bonus. The minimum odds are also not overly demanding.
Many other promotions in several different sports
During our last visit, 17 promotions were available on Bet365, and that's just in the Sports section.
Examples of promotions available on Bet365:
- Welcome bonus
- 6 Soccer promotions
- 2 tennis promotions
- 1 NFL promotion
- 1 promotion CFL
- 1 hockey promo
- 1 Basketball promo
- 1 promotion Rugby
- 1 Golf promotion
- 1 Baseball promo
- 1 Multisport Promotion

Betting at Bet365: Almost Endless Possibilities ★
An impressive choice of bet types
The depth in terms of betting options is dizzying on Bet365. Do you want examples?
- 263 betting options on an NFL game
- 127 in an MLB game
- 92 in an MLS game
- 70 on a tennis match
All standard betting options are obviously available, but you will also find proposition bets that allow you to bet on the smallest detail of each event.
Build your own football bets ("Same Game Parlay")
Bet365 offers a bet builder function for the NFL and NCAAF. This new function called " Same Game Parlay★€ allows you to place multiple bets on the same match, and the more selections you add, the higher your odds will be.
You can make up to 12 selections to create your unique pre-match bet. For example, you can bet on which NFL team will lead the score at the end of the first quarter and add who will have scored the touchdowns, but also add who will be the player with the most yards gained, and so on.
Thomas
Bet365: the best of live ★
An abundant choice of live bets
Bet365 certainly offers the widest range of live betting options that we have seen.
13 different sports offered live events and each sport contained several events when we consulted the site.
In total, there were over 100 matches available for live betting.
Huge number of events available on video
We went to check on the site and found 74 simultaneous events available in video, 74!
And not only the most famous sports: there was also basketball, soccer, tennis, but also horse racing, snooker, table tennis and volleyball.
In order to take advantage of live video feeds, you need to have an account and have made a deposit. Bet365 also offers the virtual field as an alternative to video, a graphical representation of the game rather than video. This feature is accessible without an account or deposit.
Thomas
Bet365 user experience is top notch ★
Well worked ergonomics
Without necessarily being the most beautiful interface, Bet365 offers a well-designed ergonomics that is extremely functional.
There are not a lot of pretty pictures and it must be admitted that the site rather looks like a big Excel table filled with columns and numbers.
But it is necessary to note that Bet365 has made sure that with just one click, you can find your favorite leagues, the ongoing matches, the current offers, and everything you need.
Flawless mobile browsing
Although the Bet365 applications are only available for players residing in Ontario, we would like to mention the mobile site.
Nothing is simpler than navigating Bet365 on your phone, as the design adapts perfectly to the vertical format. It is even highly likely that it is designed to be optimal under this format, as we realize how easy it is to use the site in this way.
All your favorite sports and leagues are accessible at the top with the main menu, and the current promotions are unmissable in the middle. The upcoming highlight events are highlighted just below.
Placing a bet is extremely easy as well, and navigating between different matches and types of bets is done in a very intuitive manner.
Bet365 Mobile Site Overview

The Fantasy Sports Bet365 option in Canada ★
Fantasy Football, but also Fantasy in other sports
Attention to all followers, Bet365 offers the option of Fantasy Football (see our box below if you are not familiar with the concept).
It is interesting to note that other sports are also available in Fantasy format:
- fantasy soccer
- fantasy basketball
- fantasy tennis
- fantasy golf
And some propose multiple leagues like Fantasy soccer or basketball:
- Fantasy Premier League
- Fantasy Euroleague Basketball
- Fantasy La Liga
Fantasy sport is a game where you act as the manager of your own team. You compete against other teams.
- You are entitled to a certain budget (credits, points, fictitious money) to recruit your players
- You create your own team (football, basketball,...)
- Depending on their actual ratings, players cost more or less points
- Each week you meet a different team from your league. If the cumulative points of all your players is higher than that of your opponent, you win the confrontation.
- Results will be based on actual performance of selected players for the current season.
The goal of the game is simple: become the best virtual coach of the season by accumulating the maximum number of allocated points.
One of the few sports betting sites in Canada that offers this option
Among Canadian sportsbooks, very few offer this option and we wanted to highlight it, especially since it's not just about Fantasy Football, but several Fantasy Sports.
This remains a fairly unique feature that could tilt the balance in your choice.

No American on Bet365 in Quebec ★
The Bet365 site does not exist in American version
The Bet365 website is available in 21 languages... but does not offer a translation in American. If you do not speak English, you will probably not be able to use this site.
We advise you to pay attention, as it is important to understand what is written before betting your money (for example, the terms of use of a bonus or promotion)
No customer service in American
The absence of translation also implies that there is no help in American on the Bet365 website.
The online help center is not translated.
You will not be able to speak in American to customer service either.
Thomas
No Bet365 mobile app outside of Ontario ★
Access limited to a single province
Mobile applications Bet365 only work for players residing in Ontario at the moment. This is due to the fact that the Ontario market is a separate regulated market in Canada.
We expect this to change in the coming months and we will be sure to keep you informed as soon as applications become available for Bet365 in the other Canadian provinces.
The mobile site alternative
The mobile site, however, compensates for the lack of an application by offering a very high-quality experience.
Nothing could be simpler than navigating on Bet365 on your phone, as the design adapts ideally to the vertical format. It is even highly likely that it is designed to be optimal under this format, as we realize how easy the site is to use in this way.
All your favorite sports and leagues are accessible at the top with the main menu, and the current promotions are unmissable in the middle. The upcoming main events are highlighted just below.
Placing a bet is extremely easy as well, and navigating between different matches and types of bets is done in a very intuitive manner.
Overview of the mobile version of Bet365
Thomas
Bet365's design is a bit outdated ★
A bit sad and austere graphics
The dull colors and pages filled mostly with numbers and tables do not make the graphical atmosphere very exciting.
Bet365 is the largest bookmaker on the planet, but it cannot be said that its graphics are what makes its reputation.
We are closer to the Excel table than to a sporting atmosphere.
An outdated design doesn't mean a site that's hard to use
It is important to understand the distinction between design and ergonomics. Ergonomics is very good compared to the visual rendering of the site.
Even if the Bet365 interface is not very beautiful, it does not prevent easy access to the content.
Thomas
Bet365 does not have telephone support ★
A noticeable absence
The customer service does not provide a telephone number for users.
Being a major player in online betting, we would have liked to find the possibility of reaching them directly by phone, but there is no number provided to reach them.
Alternatives to contacting Bet365 customer service
In the absence of a phone, it is possible to use:
- Technical support email at
- Online chat
- The online help center
We have tested for you:
- The email response will have taken 48 hours to come back, which is ok but not really fast.
- Online chat responds instantly 24/7.

Our Bet365 rating: 9/10
