Sports Interaction has the deepest Canadian roots of any operator in this group. Founded in 1997 under the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke, it was Canada’s first licensed online sportsbook. Worth being accurate about its current ownership rather than trading on that history: Entain plc bought the brand in 2022, and the Mohawk Council ended its partnership with Entain in late 2024, transferring full ownership of the brand, its Ontario license, and its customer base to Entain. Sports Interaction today is an Entain property – a corporate sibling to Ladbrokes and Coral in the UK, and to BetMGM in the US (Entain co-owns that joint venture) – not an Indigenous-owned brand, despite the name’s origins.

Licensing in Canada

Sports Interaction is confirmed live in Ontario (AGCO, under an iGaming Ontario agreement, via the entity ElectraWorks Maple Limited, since August 2022) and in Alberta (AGLC and the Alberta iGaming Corporation, since July 23, 2026 – about ten days after the province’s regulated market opened). Outside these two provinces, Sports Interaction operates under its original Kahnawake Gaming Commission license, in the same grey-market category as most operators without provincial regulation there. Minimum age is 19 in Ontario, 18 in Alberta.

Sports Betting

The real differentiator is depth of Canadian-specific coverage – CFL gets treated as a first-class sport here in a way it doesn’t everywhere else, alongside a wide spread of niche markets covering everything from darts and floorball to entertainment and political props. CFL 3-Point Insurance – a refund if your pre-game moneyline pick loses by exactly three points – is a genuinely Canadian-flavored promotion with no real equivalent among most competitors. SIA Insights, an in-house analytics tool, supports betting decisions with stats. Full breakdown of odds and markets is in the sports betting review.

Casino

The casino covers the standard slot and table game catalog with live dealer options, but the brand’s identity leans more toward sportsbook depth than casino breadth – worth setting that expectation rather than assuming parity with dedicated casino-first operators. One account and wallet covers sportsbook, casino, and poker together. Full breakdown is in the casino review.

Payments and Responsible Gaming

Deposits and withdrawals run in CAD through Interac e-Transfer, major cards, and e-wallets – exact processing times and limits by method should be confirmed on the live site rather than assumed.

Deposit limits and self-exclusion are required under AGCO’s Registrar’s Standards in Ontario and AGLC’s framework in Alberta. Ontario players are directed to ConnexOntario for support; Alberta runs its own centralized self-exclusion system.

Conclusion

Sports Interaction is confirmed and solid in both of Canada’s regulated markets, with no open questions on licensing the way some competitors in this group have. CFL depth and Canadian-specific niche markets are the real reason to pick it over a bigger international name.
