Payments, apps and limits at registered sportsbooks
Registered Canadian sportsbooks document their payment methods on their own pages, and app stores list the publisher, version and age rating of each app. This section reports those documents, not our own deposits or downloads. One provincial page is confirmed so far: PlayNow in British Columbia lists seven methods. For private operators in Ontario and Alberta, we have no method table yet.

Methods, as documented
| Method | Documented at | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Interac e-Transfer | PlayNow (BC) | Listed |
| Visa | PlayNow (BC) | Listed |
| Mastercard | PlayNow (BC) | Listed |
| PayPal | PlayNow (BC) | Listed |
| Instadebit | Operator cashier pages | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 |
| iDebit | Operator cashier pages | Not confirmed as of 2026-11-13 |
PlayNow also lists American Express, Online Bill Payment and Web Cash. That list is for British Columbia only and says nothing about Ontario or Alberta operators.
Takeaway: a method named by a review site is not a documented method until the operator or the method's own page says so.
What Ontario's standards say
- Standard 5.69: a deposit must be authorized by a financial services provider; cryptocurrency is not accepted.
- Standard 5.74: credit, and referral to lenders, is prohibited.
These are rules for operators, not a list of methods. Limits and responsible-gambling tools are on the safety page.
Apps
For each app we plan to record the publisher, version, update date, age rating, data labels and, on Android, how it is distributed. The source is the App Store listing for Canada and the Google Play listing.
| Field | Status |
|---|---|
| Publisher | Not published |
| Version and date | Not published |
| Age rating | Not published |
| Data labels | Not published |
Compare an app's publisher with the legal entity in the registry before you install. Datasets are described on the tools page, and operators are listed on the operator index.

FAQ
Can I deposit with a credit card at an Ontario sportsbook?
Ontario's standards require deposits to be authorized by a financial services provider, and they prohibit credit and referrals to lenders. What a given operator accepts is on its own payments page, which we read per operator.
Do Ontario sportsbooks accept cryptocurrency?
No. Under Ontario Standard 5.69, cryptocurrency is not a lawful payment method and is not accepted for deposits.
How fast are withdrawals?
We quote only the time an operator states, labelled as the operator's own claim with a date. As of 2026-11-13 we have collected no withdrawal times.
