Overview of 888sport Sportsbook in Canada

888sport accepts Canadian bettors under its Gibraltar license and operates a fully regulated site for Ontario via AGCO. The sportsbook supports decimal, American, and fractional odds, and balances move seamlessly between desktop, mobile browser, and dedicated apps for iOS and Android devices.

Registration Process at 888sport: Ontario vs Rest of Canada

Below is a look at opening an 888sport account. The steps are almost identical nationwide; the key differences are Ontario’s mandatory geolocation checks and AGCO‐level identity verification.

Ontario

  1. Open the platform – Install the iOS/Android app or visit 888sport.ca and tap Join Now.
  2. Enter personal details – Name, DoB, email, Ontario address; choose a password.
  3. Enable geolocation – Allow the location plug-in so the sportsbook can confirm you remain inside provincial borders for all wagers.
  4. Upload government ID – Driver’s licence, passport, or provincial card completes the AGCO “Know-Your-Customer” KYC requirement.
  5. Add a payment method – Visa/Mastercard, Interac, Apple Pay, or paysafecard.
  6. The minimum deposit is CAD 10.
  7. Set play limits (optional) – Daily or weekly caps and reality checks appear during sign-up.
  8. Confirm & start betting – The sportsbook emails approval; log in, make your first deposit, and explore pre-match, live betting, or Bet Builder parlays.

Rest of Canada

  1. Visit 888sport.com and hit Join Now.
  2. Complete the one-page form – Name, province, email, mobile; pick CAD as currency.
  3. Create login credentials – Password plus two security questions keep the account secure.
  4. (Optional) Enter a promo code – Unlock the welcome package before your first cashier visit.
  5. Verify identity – Upload a photo ID; a utility bill may be requested for larger withdrawals.
  6. Choose a deposit option – Interac, cards, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, Apple Pay, or bank wire (CAD 10 minimum for most methods).
  7. Access responsible-gaming tools – Deposit limits, cool-offs, and self-exclusion toggles sit under My Account → Responsible Gaming.
  8. Begin betting – Markets mirror the Ontario site, covering the NHL, NFL, soccer leagues worldwide, and hundreds of live betting options.
Both routes typically finish in under five minutes, and the mobile app for iOS and Android devices follows the same flow. If you encounter difficulties accessing your account at any stage, 888sport’s live chat (open during business hours only) and email channels can resolve ID checks, password resets, or deposit issues.

Making A First Deposit at 888sport

Deposits and withdrawals at 888sport differ slightly depending on your location. All transactions are encrypted and processed per your market's regulatory requirements.

  1. Ontario: Deposits are available via Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Apple Pay, and Paysafecard. The minimum deposit is CAD 10. Withdrawals must be returned using the original deposit method.
  2. Rest of Canada: Deposit methods include Visa, Mastercard, Interac, Apple Pay, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, and bank transfer. Minimum deposit is CAD 10. Withdrawals must be returned using the original deposit method.

Deposited funds appear in your account immediately using most methods.

An opt-in button for the 888sport welcome bonus package appears on the cashier screen during your first deposit. Read the bonus terms for wagering requirements, odds, and time limits before you place bet vouchers.

Placing a Bet at 888sport

After the funds clear, it is time to make a wager. Throughout every step, the top-right balance panel shows your available funds.

  1. The sportsbook page's top and left sides display all of the available sports and leagues.
  2. Click a match to open markets.
  3. Select odds (e.g., Edmonton Oilers 2.20). The pick drops into your bet slip (on the right side of the screen).
  4. Enter stake; the payout auto-calculates.
  5. Click Place Bet. The slip moves to open bets.

If the odds change during the process of making a bet, you will see two notifications appear in your bet slip:

  • ⚠️"Selection suspended"
  • ⚠️"Odds have changed on highlighted selections"

If this happens to you, you must go back and choose the same bet with new odds, or select a new wager altogether.

Building a Parlay Bet

If you click on multiple odds, your bet slip will automatically update and become a parlay bet. 888sport’s parlay tool lets you craft multi-leg wagers on most events/games; the potential return adjusts instantly.

Parlay bets are very popular due to the increased potential return, but the odds increase significantly with each leg added to the bet. If even one of the legs loses, the entire bet loses, making them risky bets.

If the markets you select are not available for a parlay, you will see a notification in your bet slip:

  • ⚠️"Highlighted selections above cannot be combined"

If you see this, you must change the problematic market before placing the bet.

Under the 888sport Promotions menu, you'll find "Live Now," which lists the live in-play markets available in real time. 888sport lists in-play fixtures for NHL hockey, soccer, tennis, and most games with real-time odds. A status bar shows market suspensions during penalties or time-outs. Because odds refresh every few seconds, verify the balance of available funds and confirm updated prices before you click Place Bet again.

Explore the Betting Markets

The sportsbook offers different types of sports betting markets for the 32 sports/entertainment markets available on the site. If there is a bet that you'd like to make but don't see it on 888sport, contact customer services and ask if your desired market can be made.
