Betsafe sportsbook review for 2024: Ontario

Betsafe mobile and desktop betting both offer a fun online betting experience. I loved exploring the markets and was pleasantly surprised by some available options.

The huge number of markets on offer for NHL games was especially pleasing. I saw at least 350 for every NHL game I looked at. This compares favourably with ComeOn sportsbook, which only offers around 260 markets for big hockey games.

The number of sports covered (30) puts Betsafe firmly in the middle of that pack. Yes, it is better than many brands, but it has fewer options than 90+ scorers like bet365, which covers over 40 sports.

I enjoyed the array of novelty markets at Betsafe. Being able to bet on the Oscars or election races adds an extra element of fun to proceedings and earns Betsafe a few extra points.

In conclusion, Betsafe does not cover enough sports to merit a 90+ rating here, but the number of markets for major fixtures, plus their excellent novelty bet selection, earns them a solid 80+ score.

American football is covered extensively at Betsafe. Over 100 markets for every fixture during the NFL and CFL seasons can be found. In addition, you can place futures bets on events such as the end-of-season awards and who will win the Super Bowl.

Hockey is another sport that Betsafe takes very seriously. Upcoming NHL games have over 300 betting markets attached to them. Plus, you can place parlay bets covering multiple fixtures.

The betting features at Betsafe are all of an excellent standard and professionally presented. Most importantly, they all do a great job of enhancing your sports betting.

I especially liked the fantastic array of statistics that offered available bets for many fixtures. While most operators, including Rivalry, provide some useful statistics, it is rare to find the depth of information provided by Betsafe.

The range of live markets and live-streaming betting options was roughly on par with those at PointsBet. It would be nice to have more live streams, but this is a minor quibble.

I guess there could have been more innovation in the features at Betsafe. But let’s be honest; most fans are happy with bet builders, cashout promotions and strong live betting options.

So overall, I was more than satisfied with how Betsafe performed in this area. If you want to enhance your online sports betting, it is a great option and deserves a high score.

Betsafe offers regular Price Boosts on popular markets. These boosts enhance the odds on a specified market for a short period. You can access the latest Price Boosts directly using the menu on the left of the Betsafe website. These Price Boost options include both pre-game and live sections.

It is unlikely that you will be blown away by the quality of the odds at Betsafe, but neither will you be overly disappointed.

If you want the best odds for your wagers, Pinnacle is usually the best place to go. It regularly offers 97% plus payouts and has better odds than every operator for many markets. After all, there’s a reason why we awarded it a 95+ rating in this category.

Sportsbooks like Betano are a much better like-for-like comparison to Betsafe. Its odds are generally around the same for both pre-match and live markets.

The price boosts offered by Betsafe are a big positive and the main reason the brand scores so highly here. Betsafe has a greater range of boosted odds than many other operators, which is a great way of swinging the odds in your favour.

In conclusion, Betsafe rarely carries the best odds in the industry but offers solid odds on many markets. It certainly gets a big tick from me in this department.

Above average is probably the best way of summing up the payment options at Betsafe. With 8 payment options for deposits and withdrawals, I was able to find one to suit my needs.

Let’s look at the small positives. Unlike FanDuel, which only offers three payment methods, Betsafe has twice as many options, even though I would like to see more.

But when you look at Caesars, which has over ten payment options for customers, it is clear that Betsafe has a way to go if it wants to achieve a 90+ rating.

The absence of fees on deposits was a big positive for Betsafe. I always downgrade brands that impose charges on payments, so it wasn’t great to discover Betsafe does have fees on some payments — and it’s up to 2.5% in some cases.

As with their betting odds, this is not an especially strong area for Betsafe. Although its payment options are average, you should not have any problems depositing and withdrawing winnings from the site.

This is never the most exciting or enticing element of online sportsbook reviews, but it is one that I treat extremely seriously.

Therefore, I was delighted that Betsafe provides a similar online safety provision to the one found at BetVictor. In other words, it is a fully secure operator.

Much like BetMGM, Betsafe is very serious about online safety. The range of responsible gambling tools it provides is a testament to that.

The 90 rating here reflects that strong commitment to secure gambling. With a few more articles on responsible gambling, there’s no reason why Betsafe cannot get an even higher score in the future.

I can confidently say that Betsafe is trustworthy, and your sports bets will be treated fairly and securely.

This is a truly impressive customer support offering from Betsafe. Not only are the three support channels available to players, but you can use them most of the day.

While many operators, such as Bet99, don’t offer a telephone support line, Betsafe provides this additional option for players. So it is no surprise it receives a better score than its competitor here.

Of course, Betsafe isn’t the only brand that offers telephone support; Bally Bet also provides it, along with email and 24/7 live chat. Bally Bet is one of the few operators outperforming Betsafe in this department, thanks to its 24/7 live chat.

The FAQs at Betsafe also tick the box to provide detailed and clear information. Navigating is also effortless, so I recommend this as your first stop when resolving a query.

Aside from the live chat being unavailable through the night, this is pretty much as good as it gets regarding customer services. Betsafe will give you fast, professional and highly efficient support for your issue.

Make no mistake; this is a truly great mobile betting app. I had a fantastic time using it and a lot of fun exploring the markets.

There are plenty of great sports betting apps out there, with Bwin sportsbook being a great example, but I would honestly rate Betsafe Canada as one of the best.

Unfortunately, I cannot award Betsafe a 90+ score in this category because it does not have a desktop betting site. This disadvantages them compared to sites like BetRivers, which has an excellent desktop betting site.

I’m willing to believe that Betsafe Canada will introduce a desktop version in the future, and I fully expect it to be as good as the mobile app.

Until then, I highly recommend you check out the Betsafe betting app. It’s great fun and makes online betting extremely easy.
