Pinnacle Sportsbook Review for June 2025

Gambling can be addictive. If you or someone you know has a problem with gambling, please seek help immediately. Support can be found in Canada at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Gamtalk Treatment & Support, and Provincial/Territories helplines. Gamble responsibly and never risk funds that you cannot afford to lose.

The sportsbook doesn’t offer traditional promotions. Instead, it focuses on giving bettors long-term value through some of the best odds in Canada. By keeping margins low, Pinnacle reduces the vig across most sports, helping sharp bettors get more out of every wager.

We’ll compare odds later in this review to show how they stack up.

Players from across Canada can register at the sportsbook, but Ontario users are directed to a dedicated site that complies with provincial regulations.

Bettors can choose from dozens of markets across all major leagues and competitions. Here are some of the most popular sports betting markets:

Pinnacle doesn’t lure bettors with flashy promos; it wins on pricing. With consistently reduced vig (lower bookmaker margins), Its odds often beat the competition across major sports, meaning better long-term value for bettors.

In Canada, odds are displayed in decimal format by default, but users can switch to American or fractional odds in their account settings.

That being said, we tested the responsiveness, professionalism, and overall user experience to understand better what to expect.

Here is a summary of our interactions with its customer support over two days:
