PlayNow doesn’t have those confusing tie rules that vary across Canada ( Sports Action, the lottery terminal version of B.C.’s sports lottery, does). Granted, those promotions are not quite as good as online sportsbooks that offer up to $200 cash on your first deposit (such as several of the best sportsbooks for Canadians that we recommend).īut it’s definitely better than nothing.
