Power Play

A worthwhile welcome bonus

PowerPlay directly deposits an amount equivalent to your first deposit into your account. You do not have to wager your deposit to receive the bonus.

And where this offer becomes really interesting is that you can withdraw not only the winnings from your bets made with this bonus amount but also the bonus amount itself.

Potentially, you can win a nice sum thanks to the PowerPlay welcome bonus. This is also why the site still imposes a few conditions on this bonus:

• the bonus must be wagered 12 times before you can withdraw the amount and winnings
• you have to bet on odds of 1.5 or more
• the maximum amount you can win with this bonus is $4000

These conditions reduce the likelihood of making a profit on this bonus, but the offer remains interesting thanks to its potential and the low risk it imposes.

A large selection of promotions

We have found no less than 11 different promotions on the site during our last visit.

• 6 of these promotions in the form of free bets.
• 5 promotions are betting offers with increased winning possibilities.
• These promotions apply to many sports: hockey, basketball, tennis, UFC, soccer, virtual sports...

Free bets in detail

These free bet offers work as follows: you place a real money bet according to the specified conditions, and in return, PowerPlay deposits a sum of money into your account. You can then use this sum to place new bets, and any potential winnings associated with them are withdrawable (but not the sum itself)

30 sports available

The PowerPlay catalog offers a good selection with about thirty sports disciplines. Among these choices, you will obviously find your favorite leagues such as the NHL, NFL, CFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, etc.

You can also place bets on other sports such as tennis, golf, MMA, or Formula 1.

But you have the possibility to bet on lesser known sports such as Gaelic hurling, Australian football, and even politics.

Note also the presence of several virtual sports: football, auto, horse racing, greyhounds, and table tennis for those interested.

Odds in the average of the competitors

From what we were able to ascertain, PowerPlay is in the middle for odds in most sports.

Here are some examples of odds that we compared between PowerPlay and two other bookmakers accessible in Canada:

An easy-to-learn platform

The interface of PowerPlay is classic, but it is a design that has proven itself on most platforms. Thanks to this efficient ergonomics, it is easy to find one's way around.

PowerPlay fits perfectly on your mobile

The bookmaker currently does not offer an application to bettors. However, the mobile version of the site is very well optimized. You can bet there without any slowdown and enjoy smooth navigation.

Bets collected

The cashed bet gives you the possibility to recover your bet before the event is finished. The amount you recover will be determined at the moment of cashing out and depends on the probability of the bet being winning: this means that the amount can be higher or lower than the initial bet. The eligible bets for cashing out will appear with an icon titled "cashout" placed next to the bet.

Betting accumulator

An "Accumulator" (sometimes called "Acca") allows you to combine four or more bets into one giant bet that only pays out if all parts win. The advantage of an accumulator is that the winnings are exponential with the multiplication of the odds of the different selections. However, the disadvantage is that if even one selection is incorrect, the entire bet is a loser. Please note that you cannot place selections from the same event in an accumulator.

Live bets available

PowerPlay also allows you to bet on live matches, a particularly exciting type of bet, but also convenient if you haven't had time to place your bet before the event. A page " Live"Is also accessible at all times from the main menu to find all current events."

Other types of bets available

PowerPlay obviously offers other types of bets. To name just a few: Single Bet, Scorecast, Goliath, Super Heinz, Lucky 63, Heinz, Lucky 31, Super Yankee/Canadian, Lucky 15, Patent, Trixie, Treble, Double

The PowerPlay site in American

The PowerPlay website offers a American version, all menus and navigation are therefore easy to understand. More importantly, all promotions as well as your bet slip are accessible in American.

It is possible to change the language of the site if you wish. The site exists in English, American, Portuguese, Spanish, and German.

A customer service answers you in American

You can reach the PowerPlay customer service 24/7 in 4 ways:

1. By live chat : the agents are American-speaking.
2. By email : the answers will be provided to you in American if you write in American.
3. By messenger : you can reach American-speaking support using Facebook messaging.
4. By phone +18335781331 : the service is in English, however, if you leave your number and your request, an agent can call you in American.

You also have access to a PowerPlay help center with 120 pages written in American.

PowerPlay is not on the AppStore or the Google Play Store

It is not possible to install a PowerPlay application on your phone at the moment. The iPhone and Android app markets will not return any results. However, customer service informed us that the website is working on it, and we will keep you informed as soon as an application becomes available.

It is possible to have PowerPlay on your phone

The mobile version of the site remains a perfectly satisfactory alternative to the absence of an application. The responsive design provides you with practically the same experience as an application. The only difference is that your browser will display an additional bar at the top of the page. Apart from this detail, you will be able to enjoy the platform in the same way and place your bets without any difficulties.

No live video

You cannot watch live videos of events directly through PowerPlay although the site offers a dedicated section for live events. However, the live video function is very useful for placing live bets, as it allows you to accurately assess the teams' strengths and adjust your choices accordingly.

No bet builder

PowerPlay does not offer a bet builder. However, it is a very interesting feature, a sort of personalized bet creator, because it allows you to place multiple selections for the same event in a single bet. If you are well-informed about an event, you can bet on multiple elements and multiply the odds to maximize your winnings.

No search tool

This absence is more of a detail, as it is a less important feature. But we mention it because it is a surprising oversight: the search function is a basic feature that can be found on virtually all sports betting sites. Indeed, it is often practical to directly search for the name of your favorite team or player in order to quickly access the event you want to bet on. The absence of a search tool potentially lengthens the time you will spend searching on the site.

Some American translations are wrong

We noticed some American language errors on PowerPlay that seem to come straight from an automatic translation software. It appears, in any case, that the priority of the site is English and that the American version is the result of a translation rather than being separately designed.

But these errors are not truly problematic, as they do not change the meaning of the texts. For example, it is not about incorrect translations on the terms of use of bonuses and promotions that would be subject to misinterpretation and therefore to a risk for your money.
