We are bet365, and since founding the company in 2001, we’ve grown into one of the most recognised names in online gambling worldwide, with millions of people playing with us every day. In 2026, that global scale meets one of North America’s most rigorously regulated markets through our Ontario operation, fully licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and iGaming Ontario since April 2022.
Our history and how we became a global name
We were founded in 2001 and have spent the years since building a reputation built on consistent operation at a scale few competitors can match. We’re registered in Gibraltar, and our presence on the world stage — with millions of daily players — is itself a form of reassurance that matters when players are deciding where to trust their money and their time. We remain available to all Canadians, with our Ontario operation specifically regulated by the AGCO, bringing our international standing directly into one of the most accountable regulatory environments in the world.
Our licensing: AGCO at the centre, with international credentials supporting it
We are fully licensed and regulated by the AGCO and iGaming Ontario, having received our regulatory approval in April 2022. Beyond Ontario, we hold international licensing from the Malta Gaming Authority and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Our software is independently tested by Gaming Laboratories International and regularly audited by Technical Systems Testing to confirm fair RTPs and verify the integrity of our random number generators. eCOGRA audits are also referenced for game fairness. Every transaction and piece of player data is protected by SSL encryption. For our Ontario players, this licensing means segregated player funds, formal dispute arbitration through iGaming Ontario, and mandatory responsible gambling tools.
Our game library: 2,100+ slots from a provider list few can match
As of an April 2026 audit of our Canadian-accessible lobby, we offer 2,155 slot titles across more than 45 providers. The breadth of these provider relationships gives our players access to Megaways mechanics from multiple developers, progressive jackpot networks, and branded titles that smaller operators simply can’t license. Beyond slots, we offer multiple variants of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker.
| Category | Details |

Our welcome offers: three choices, and a wagering figure we’re proud of
New players can select from three welcome offers, including 200 free spins plus a 100% match bonus up to $200, and a separate offer with no wagering on the bonus at all — genuinely rare in this market. Our main match offer carries a 30x wagering requirement, meaningfully better than the 40x-plus figures at many competitors. For new players depositing at least $10, free spins are awarded across ten consecutive days. For Ontario players: AGCO regulations prevent us from publicly advertising bonus terms — log into your account and visit the homepage or cashier to see current offers.
Banking built for how Canadian players actually pay
We support CAD with banking methods including PayPal, Interac, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and our Bet365 Play+ prepaid card. Deposits are close to instant; e-wallets and PayPal withdrawals can complete within 24 hours; cards, mobile payments, and bank-backed transfers take one to five business days.
More than a casino: our sportsbook and unified wallet
We operate a fully licensed Ontario sportsbook covering NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, PGA, cricket, tennis, and more — all under a single unified wallet with the casino. On October 1, 2025, we rolled out Prop Protect, which protects player prop bets from early injuries in the NFL, NBA, and NHL. We also voided Tyrese Haliburton player props following his injury in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, demonstrating our commitment to acting decisively when a bet’s outcome has been compromised.
Responsible gambling: our PlaySafe hub
Through our PlaySafe hub, players access deposit limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion tools — mandatory requirements under our iGO licence that we treat as a baseline we want to exceed, not just meet. ConnexOntario is available 24/7 at 1-866-531-2600 and the Responsible Gambling Council at responsiblegambling.org for Canadian players seeking additional support.
