Bank Transfers are also accepted by every sportsbook on my list.  There is nearly no limit to the amount you can deposit or withdraw when using this method (though the sportsbook may have its own withdrawal rules).  When you deposit, each service will provide a reference number and bank account details.  You will then provide these to your bank so the funds can be attributed to your sportsbook account.  This will likely take 2 to 3 business days.

Interac Email Money Transfers are only accepted by Bodog.  You can access Interac e-transfers in your online banking profile from any major Canadian bank.  The Interac-set limit for transactions is currently $1,000 .  Funding your Bodog account with this method is as simple as sending an email.  This is a great banking method to use as it is so fast, likely already at your fingertips and the charge to send money is usually little more than a dollar.

Entropay is essentially a virtual Visa card which is prepaid - meaning there is no credit check or application required.  It allows you to pay instantly and privately so that you don’t share your financial information with the sportsbook.  You can load your virtual Entropay Visa by using an actual credit card, your debit card or with your bank transfer and funds can easily be paid back onto your Entropay virtual Visa for transfer back to your original funding source.  If your funding source is a credit card, by using Entropay as the intermediary solution, you will avoid the cash advance interest charges as your credit card transaction will be treat ed as a purchase, not a cash advance as when you use a credit card directly with the sportsbook.  Entropay is accepted at Bodog, Pinnacle and William Hill.

EcoCard lets you send money securely independent of your bank account and without any sort of credit application.  The EcoCard is a physical card that you register for and use anywhere MasterCard is accepted.  You have total control over what is spent because you can only spend what is loaded onto the card.  Load funds from your bank account or another credit card.  Sports Interaction accepts EcoCard.

ClickandBuy lets you pay with your credit card or debiting your bank account.  Very similar to Paypal, if you use your credit card through ClickandBuy, you will avoid the cash advance interest charges that you would incur by using the your card directly with the betting site.  Clickandbuy was established in Germany in 1999 and are an accredited Electronic Money Institution and is now headquartered in London and overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).  ClickandBuy is now a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.  You can seamlessly may with your mobile with ClickandBuy and use it with Pinnacle, Sports Interaction and William Hill.

Instadebit essentially works like an online cheque.  You don’t fund an Instadebit account from another funding source as it is NOT an e-wallet.  You use Instadebit like a cheque to create a link between your bank and your merchant of choice, in this case Pinnacle or Sports Interaction.  Simply register with Instadebit, verify a bank account and then at your chosen betting site simply sign in and approve a transfer.  Transaction limits with Instadebit tend to be in excess of $10,000.  Transaction fees with Instadebit are about one or two dollars depending on the type.  Instadebit also allows you to pay easily with your mobile.  Use Instadebit at Pinnacle, Sports Interaction and William Hill.

iDebit facilitates inexpensive online banking transfers.  Move money to and from your iDebit account with your Canadian bank account up to a limit of $1,000 per transaction.  Fees to move money using iDebit are around one or two dollars per transaction. Creating your account is free.  iDebit is accepted at Pinnacle, Sports Interaction and William Hill.

Ukash works like a gift card or gift certificate.  You simply go to the Ukash website to find one of over 15,000 Ukash partner locations across Canada (Like a post office, gas station or news stand).  At these retail outlets, you will be able to buy a Ukash code in denominations of $15, $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, $250.  Your actual prices will be higher than these amounts.  The difference accounts for the fee that is split between the retailer and Ukash itself.  Actual respective fees are $16.95, $28.95, $54.95, $79.95, $105.95, $156.95 and $259.95.  You will then be able to redeem your Ukash voucher at Pinnacle Sports, Sports Interaction or William Hill by entering the PIN code and the corresponding amount.

Paysafecard is also a gift-card-like solutions where you can buy in amounts of  $10, $30, $50 or $100 each with a unique 16-digit PIN.  You can combine up to ten cards for payments up to $1,000 and is available at William Hill

Get started betting football online

Registering with your betting site of choice is really quick, easy and you can start betting in just a few minutes.  You’ll be prompted to enter things like your name and address as well as contact information.  Sportsbooks need this information from you because they need to know enough about you to be able to have secure contact with you in the future should you have any customer support issues.  Each company wants to keep you information secure and they want to know that when they are discussing your account that they are only actually dealing with you.

Once you’ve got your new account ready to go, you’ll need to fund your account.  You’ll likely be able to fund your account using funding methods that you already possess.  For example, every site accepts Visa and MasterCard.  The only thing you need to watch out for with this is the fact that transactions like this on your credit card will be treated as a cash advance rather than a purchase, which means interest will accrue from the moment of the transaction.  A lot of people get started with their card to get going fast, but oftentimes, they sign up for one of the approved e-wallet banking options that I list below, or they choose to use one of the prepaid credit card or voucher options.  Credit card and e-wallet options for payment are essentially instantaneous.  In case you are wondering, there are no PayPal online sportsbooks for Canada.

Comparing the Banking Options for the Top Football Sportsbooks in Canada

Interestingly, Bodog offers very few banking options.  However, they are likely the options that can get you up and betting faster than anyone else in that you need not sign up for any new services.  The popular Interac E-Transfer makes Bodog the best option for many people that expect to make deposits under $1,000.  It is a great deposit option since most people can send these from their existing online banking profile.  Read the full review here.
