theScore Bet Ontario Review 2026: Stats, News and Betting in One App

theScore Bet Ontario at a glance: our verdict

theScore Bet earns its place among the leading Ontario sports betting sites because it does one thing better than most: it puts betting next to the information you already check. The sportsbook is linked to theScore's news and stats app, so the jump from a box score to a bet slip is short.

The betting app itself is clean and quick. The Canadian App Store rating of 4.7 from roughly 29,000 ratings is among the strongest we have seen for an Ontario sportsbook, though the Google Play score is lower. Pregame and in-play markets, early cash-out, same-game parlays and bet tracking are all built in.

Where it falls short is breadth. The app listing focuses on the big North American leagues plus golf, UFC, tennis and the Champions League, and some longtime users say rivals carry deeper futures and alternate lines. There is no advertised live video streaming and no horse racing in the core sports list.

We score theScore Bet 8.3 out of 10, below bet365 Ontario, which offers more depth in live betting and racing.

Is theScore Bet legal in Ontario?

Yes. theScore Bet appears on iGaming Ontario's directory of regulated sites, and its Ontario-specific terms say Score Media and Gaming Inc. provides its services in the province on behalf of iGaming Ontario, subject to its registration as an internet gaming operator with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and in accordance with its operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.

Score Media and Gaming Inc. lists a Toronto address at 125 Queens Quay East. Its terms describe theScore Bet as a wholly owned subsidiary of PENN Entertainment, the U.S. casino and racetrack operator.

• Operator: Score Media and Gaming Inc.
• Regulator: registered with the AGCO; operating agreement with iGaming Ontario
• Minimum age: 19
• Location: you must be physically inside Ontario to place a bet
• Market background: single-event betting became legal in Canada in August 2021 under Bill C-218, and Ontario's regulated iGaming market opened on 4 April 2022

The same app also serves Alberta, where different age rules and helplines apply. This review covers the Ontario product only.

theScore Bet Ontario odds and betting markets

The app lists the NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, NCAA football and basketball, the PGA Tour, UFC, ATP and WTA tennis and the UEFA Champions League among its featured sports. For a Toronto bettor that covers the Leafs, Raptors and Blue Jays comfortably, with moneylines, spreads, totals, player props and same-game parlays.

Parlay fans get a dedicated Parlay Lounge section, handy on a busy Saturday of Hockey Night in Canada. One reviewer on the Canadian App Store asked for team totals across more sports, and another said bet365 offers better futures and alternate spreads, which matches our sense that theScore is tuned for the mainstream rather than the niche.

How the odds work, for illustration

For illustration only: a C$20 bet on the Senators at 2.50 (+150) would return $50 if it wins, which is your $20 stake plus $30 profit. A two-leg parlay multiplies the prices, so 1.90 and 1.80 combine to 3.42, and $10 would return $34.20.

CFL fans should check the board in Grey Cup week. theScore's app listing doesn't name the CFL among its featured sports, so we wouldn't pick it as a CFL specialist.

Live betting on theScore Bet in Ontario

In-play betting is a core part of the app. Odds update as the game moves, and you can cash out early on many bets before they settle. Bet tracking sits in the same place, so you can follow an open parlay without hunting through menus.

What you won't find advertised is live video. Neither the Ontario app listing nor the Ontario terms mention streaming. The trade-off is that theScore's live scores, play-by-play and stats are built for exactly this moment, so many users follow a game through theScore's data and bet alongside it.

If watching the game inside the betting app matters to you, compare it with bet365 Ontario, which is known for in-play coverage and streaming.

theScore Bet Ontario app for iPhone and Android

The app is free on both stores and is published by Score Media and Gaming Inc. On the Canadian App Store, theScore Bet: Sports Betting holds a 4.7 rating from about 29,000 ratings and needs iOS 16 or later. On Google Play it has more than 100,000 downloads and a lower score than on iOS.

What stands out is the link with theScore media app: tap from a score or story into the market. Design is tidy and the bet slip is easy to read on a small screen. The weaker Android score reflects some frustration in recent reviews with payout displays and deposits, covered below.

Both store listings describe the app as live in Ontario and Alberta, with separate age notices for each province.

theScore Bet Ontario deposits and withdrawal times

Everything runs in Canadian dollars, and Interac is front and centre. theScore Bet's help centre lists these withdrawal options in Ontario: Visa Debit, online banking via Trustly, Interac, PayPal and EFT. There is a $10 minimum for all withdrawal options.

The help centre says withdrawal requests may take up to 72 hours to process, then 1–3 business days to arrive depending on the method. Every transaction goes through a 24-hour review. For Interac e-Transfer, if your bank has auto-deposit on, money should reach you within an hour after that review. Without auto-deposit you answer a security question (your date of birth), and an unanswered transfer expires after seven business days.

theScore Bet doesn't charge withdrawal fees, although your bank may set its own limits.

Horse racing on theScore Bet Ontario

Horse racing isn't part of theScore Bet's featured sports in Ontario. If you want to bet Woodbine, Mohawk or the King's Plate, look at our guide to betting horse racing in Ontario, which covers bet365, OLG's PROLINE+ and HPIbet.

Responsible gambling tools at theScore Bet

theScore Bet's responsible gaming policy lets you set limits on deposits, on the amount you wager and on time spent betting, and you can review your account history for the current year. You can take a break or exclude yourself permanently, and that exclusion applies across every jurisdiction where theScore Bet operates.

The Ontario terms also point to iGaming Ontario's voluntary centralized self-exclusion tool, which covers regulated sites across the province, and they make clear it is governed by iGaming Ontario's own terms.

• Deposit, wager and time limits
• Self-exclusion, temporary or permanent
• iGaming Ontario's centralized self-exclusion
• ConnexOntario: 1-866-531-2600, free and confidential, 24/7
• Responsible Gambling Council resources nationwide

Set limits on day one, before you need them. They are easier to keep than to add later.

theScore Bet customer support in Ontario

Support runs through live chat inside the app and by email at support@thescore.bet. The help centre is detailed, with step-by-step articles on Interac, EFT and ID checks. A separate Ontario disputes process is linked from the contact page if a complaint isn't resolved.

The contact page doesn't publish support hours or a Canadian phone line, so live chat is the quickest route.

What Ontario players say about theScore Bet

We read the written reviews on the Canadian App Store and Google Play listings. Praise centres on design and ease of use; criticism focuses on market depth and occasional payment or cash-out display problems.

Quoted word for word from public reviews; one review is never the whole picture.
