Bet365 has been operating online since 2001, building a strong reputation well before entering the Ontario market. In 2022, it launched its fully licensed Ontario casino site, regulated by iGaming Ontario. In this review, we explain how to sign up, what games are available, and why Bet365 Casino is considered one of the most trusted options for players in the province.
Bet365 is available to Ontario players as long as they are at least 19 years old. Although known more as a bookmaker, the Bet365 casino has everything you could wish for. It has all the casino games you would expect, a decent, constantly growing selection of slots and a live casino area. Their site is available on both desktop and mobile, and their mobile apps are available on iOS and Android.
Signing up to Bet365 casino ON is a reasonably straightforward process. You will have to complete a KYC process, which will require uploading documents to prove your identity and address.
To sign up for an account, follow the steps below
A new addition in 2023 is the Bet365 Ontario authenticator app. As AGCO requires players to be located in Ontario, you must prove this using this app. Whether you play on a desktop or the regular app, you will likely need to download this additional app. Since the app is on your mobile, the location can be triangulated more precisely than a computer’s IP. Once downloaded, you can log in to your bet365 account on the app or scan the QR code that the bet365 site will prompt on your computer screen.
Below is a chart showing how the various payment methods differ.
Bet365 Casino has a very low minimum and maximum withdrawal amount. At only $10 (unless you use paypal ) this is perfect for anyone new wanting to try them out. Maximum withdrawals vary by deposit method and range from $3715 to $40,000. There is currently no VIP scheme for Ontario players. Whether you like to bet big or small you should be able to find a variation of your favourite game that suits you. Most games have at least one variation where minimum stakes are as low as $0.10 or $0.20
As you would expect, there is a separate section for the Live Casino, Slots, and Table Games. However, you can also choose to see all new games or all games with Jackpots.
Slots have the largest number of games at Bet365 Ontario casino, with over 1100 to choose from. You can view all at once, or there are options to view just certain types of slots, such as Megaways, Bonus Buys, and Classic slots.
The Table games section at Bet365 is just as user-friendly, and you can choose to show only games that fit your search criteria. You can also search by the preset headings, which show only games of a particular type, such as Blackjack, Roulette, Video Poker, etc.
Helpfully, there is also a convenient filter, which allows you to sort the games by a number of options at once. After going to a particular section, you then have the option to view all. After clicking on this, a filter option will appear. Here you will then be allowed to select the game type, such as arcade, table game or slots. You can search for a specific theme or select only games with a particular feature to appear, such as jackpot, multipliers or free spins.
You can also search for games from a particular provider.
If you’re more into table games than slots, you may prefer to spend your time in the Live Casino instead of the Bet365 standard casino. The Bet365 live casino has more variations of each game than the standard Casino. Each will have slight differences in the rules, and be sure to make sure you have understood the differences before playing.
In addition to the more traditional casino games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat, you will find a range of other games. For example, Big Wheel games like Monopoly Live and Crazy Time, some of the less well-known card games like 3 Card Brag, and Dice games like Craps and Sic Bo.
Ever growing, new slots appear all the time at Bet365 casino, so you will always have something new to try. At the time of writing, the most popular slots at Bet365 are shown below
The Bet365 mobile app is up there with the best in the business. Since its first launch in 2012, the Bet365 app has been continuously upgraded to become one of the best. Like the website, its clear and slick design makes the app easy to navigate, so you should be able to find the casino game you’re searching for in no time. Like most apps, the games run quicker and smoother than the desktop site. Many apps struggle with glitches and bugs, but we found nothing of this nature when we tested the app.
The RTP, or Return to Player figure, is the percentage of your stakes you should eventually get paid back, but this could be over thousands of spins or hands. Of the 1100 slots at Bet365 casino, around 530 have an RTP between 95-96%, with another 500 between 96-97%. Only about 20 have an RTP over 97%. The rest are below 95%. You can find the RTP of any game by clicking on the “i” icon in the bottom right corner of the box, which shows the picture of the game.
Bet365 Casino has a number of support options. Before trying them, there is a small FAQ section dedicated to the casino on the website. To find this, you must go to the help section, click “Product Help” from the Menu button, and select Casino or Live Casino. There is only a direct link to the Sports FAQ on the help page, which won’t be of much use. If you can’t find your answer in the FAQ, you can contact them either on X or live chat for the quickest reply, or you can send an email. Links to all three can be found on the website’s contact us page. Unfortunately, phone support is not available at the time of writing.
We found reviewing Bet365 Casino a very favourable experience. The website’s black-and-green colour scheme and white writing are pleasing to the eye. The layout is highly user-friendly, with clear, well-organised links to the various sections without trying to fit too much onto one page and facing a cluttered mess with far too much to choose from.
Creating an account is very simple. Having to verify yourself before being able to deposit is a little frustrating as it delays being able to play, but it shows how seriously they take security at the site, so it’s a very small price to pay.
