TonyBet sportsbook review

I’m really impressed with the TonyBet online sportsbook. There are so many sports to choose from, although there are no horse racing bets. However, many sports have a huge number of betting options.
For instance, I took a close look at ice hockey matches. Some of them had over 300 sports betting options. This matches up well against some of TonyBet’s online sportsbook competitors like bet365, which offers 40 sports and hundreds of betting choices.

Another big player both internationally and in the Canadian market is 888Sport. When I checked its site, I found that it has 32 sports markets.

I was also pleased to see that Tonybet doesn’t just offer regular sports. The sportsbook also offers wagering on virtual sports such as eSoccer and eBasketball. Additionally, it offers several esports betting options, including Counter-Strike, Dota, and more.

I think that the TonyBet sports offering is worth the high score I’ve given it, as it stands up so well alongside its competitors and doesn’t just offer classic sports. I did knock a few points off for the lack of any horse racing bets though.

Additional market details: American football is hugely popular in Canada and it’s well-represented on the TonyBet website. All of the major leagues are covered here including the Canadian Football League (CFL). Bettors can build parlays that span the whole season if they want to, or place single bets including moneylines and over/unders.

Additional market details: No Canadian sportsbook is complete without a selection of hockey bets. TonyBet covers the top hockey leagues across the world including VHL in Russia, DEL in Germany and the Women’s World Championship. So, there are plenty of matches to choose from on this site.

The betting features on this site are up there with the best sportsbooks in Ontario. Features like the bet builder, same game parlay, point spreads, and live betting, take TonyBet into the top tier of betting sites.

When I compared TonyBet online sportsbook to BetVictor, I found that BetVictor just had the edge. It offers partial cashouts as well as full cashouts and a bet boost feature, which is a nice touch.
When I looked at Neo.bet, I found that it offers system bets, which TonyBet doesn’t. I do like this type of bet, so it’s disappointing to not see it here.

However, it’s not all bad! TonyBet does have some great sports betting features that are easy to use and very handy. I liked the range of sports with live betting options, but if you want live streaming, this is only available when you join and login in to your TonyBet account.

Overall, I think that the high score that I have given this sportsbook is well deserved. Yes, some things are missing, like system bets and bet boosts, but in general it has some great features that allow you to place bets easily.

Additional features: The bet builder lets you either build single bets or parlays. Parlays, otherwise known as accumulators or multis, are a number of single bets grouped together to form one big bet. If all of these single bets win, then you win the parlay. However, if you lose any one of the legs, then you lose the whole parlay bet.

I found that this aspect of the site was a mixed bag. Tonybet sportsbook does have a huge number of sports betting options to choose from after you’ve made your initial deposit, but the odds on some sports can be low.

The variation in the odds across sports brings TonyBet Canada’s overall average payout percentage down compared to other reviewed sports-betting sites. Betano’s average payout is marginally better at 94.96%, but there is less variation across sports.

Betsafe has a smaller number of sports to bet on, at 30, but it has an average payout of 95.02%. Again, this is because it’s payouts across sports is more consistent.

One thing I did really like about the TonyBet website is that the odds update live, so you don’t need to refresh your screen. This is very useful when it comes to live betting, as the odds change so quickly that you really need to be fast to catch them.

I think overall TonyBet sportsbook doesn’t do badly on odds. However, it’s not as impressive as some of its competitors.

I do like it when a sportsbook appreciates the need for a wide range of betting payment methods. So, I’m somewhat disappointed with the four on offer at TonyBets, but the four are all safe and reputable — so no major qualms here.

Competitors like Bally Bet, for example, fall in the same bracket as TonyBet, and I find that as long as bank transfers and cards are accepted, then one could hardly make a case against limitations here.

In other markets, TonyBet stands out with an exceptional variety of payment options. My hope is that the same diversity will make its way to Ontario eventually.

Apart from ticking the boxes of industry-standard safety measures, I was pleased to see that the sportsbook also has a number of responsible gaming tools. This compares well to PointsBet and other licensed competitors, which have a similar number of options, including the ability to set limits on bets.

Additionally, TonyBet sports does clearly list all the organisations that players can turn to if they need help managing play. In my books, such resources should be on prominent display at all times; thus, bonus points for TonyBet.

Overall, I feel that TonyBet has done a competent job with its safety features, but has not really gone above and beyond for an online sportsbook or casino. What leaves question is the regular warning flags I get from my security software, often blocking access due to unverified SSL certification.

However, our data analyst confirms that the site used 256-bit SSL during our last data verification, so no heavy points were lifted here.

Having tried out all the customer support options on this site, I don’t think TonyBet has done a bad job. It offers two good contact options, with the chat being available 24/7.

For the vast majority of punters, myself included, 24/7 chat suffices. The only room for improvement in terms of channels would be phone support, but in my experience few players seek this method out.

I am a bit disappointed with the FAQ, but am pleased to say that TonyBet has made strides of improvement here. What used to be a five-question blurb of nothing is now a fully fledged help section, with a good-enough quality of answers.

What could be better? Clarity and usability. Bet365’s Help Centre is always my go-to for comparison here; the bookie offers detailed payment breakdowns, a well-structured list of queries, and informative responses that don’t require additional digging. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with TonyBet’s FAQ.

However, I was really impressed with TonyBet’s live chat. The customer support agents responded really quickly to my queries and their responses were very helpful. They even included additional information without prompting. Gold-star team!

TonyBet really had quite a task on its hands when it designed and built the website and app. This is because it has so many sports betting options, and they all have so many betting choices. I can see that’s a lot of information to fit into any site.

The sportsbook has managed to fit it all in, but I think that it can be overwhelming, especially for someone who’s new to sports betting. LeoVegas also offers markets in 30+ sports, but the site feels much less cluttered.

I do like the TonyBet mobile app though. Nowadays, not many sportsbooks provide an app, for example, Rivalry doesn’t have an app. So I did add a couple of points for the fact that TonyBet has given players the choice between a browser-based site and an app.
I actually found the TonyBet mobile app easier to use than the website. There is less going on in the content area, so I found it easier to focus on the bets.
