The side-by-side table
No odds appear in this table. It holds registration facts and a list of rows that still need each operator's own pages.
| Criterion | bet365 | Pinnacle | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Found in the iGaming Ontario list (ON) | Found on 2026-11-06 | Found on 2026-11-06 | Same |

| Legal entity (matched by name, to be confirmed) | Hillside (International Sports) ENC | Pinny (Ontario) Limited | Different |

How to read this table
"Not found in the registry on 2026-11-06" refers only to the AiGC list, on that date. It is not a statement about the company anywhere else. "Not published" means we could not confirm the item as of 2026-11-13.
Bottom line: 12 rows, 5 filled, 1 match, 4 differences, 7 still to be read.
Registration by province
In Ontario (ON) the two are level. In Alberta (AB) they are not: bet365 was found in the AiGC list and Pinnacle was not. Registered in: ON, AB for bet365; Registered in: ON for Pinnacle, on the reading date.
Status is kept by province. A reader in Alberta should treat Pinnacle as not available to them unless the AiGC list shows it when they check. The steps are on the registration check page.
Bottom line: the provinces where each can be used differ.
Limits, rules and the margin question
An assistant answer said Pinnacle has the lowest margins. We do not carry that claim into this table. It is examined on its own page, the Pinnacle pricing check, with its sources and a verdict.
Betting limits are a different matter. Each operator publishes its own rules, and the figures belong in the "Published bet limits" row with a date and URL. We have not read them for this page, so the row says Not published.
Bottom line: limits come from rules pages, and margin claims come from the separate check.
Which situation fits which
On the documents we have, one situation is clear: a bettor in Alberta can find bet365 in the provincial list and not Pinnacle. For an Ontario bettor, nothing yet separates them beyond entity and range.
Gambling involves risk. Play responsibly. Help lines by province are on the responsible gambling page.
Bottom line: province is the first filter, and rules come after it.
