The online betting experience at PowerPlay is impressive. The design is a little dated, but the desktop version of the site is easy to navigate, and it offers features such as stats, live updates on games and early cashout options.

The mobile version of PowerPlay Sportsbook is also user-friendly. There is no mobile app to download, but you can access the mobile site through the browser on your mobile. It allows you to bet on a decent selection of sports and casino games with ease.

PowerPlay offers a wide range of betting options on certain sports. For example, we found more than 200 markets on soccer games. However, there are typically only a dozen or so bet types on NHL and NBA games.

A British white-label provider called FSB Tech, which is based in London, powers the online sportsbook. It means that this site tends to offer better coverage of European sports than North American leagues, which is a strange quirk.

We cannot find fault with the depth of sports covered. Australian Rules, badminton, darts, Gaelic football, Gaelic hurling, handball, volleyball, pool and various other small sports are available, along with all the major sports. Bettors can also wager on specials, politics and esports.

As mentioned earlier, there is a wide range of markets on European sports leagues such as the Premier League and Champions League, but it would be great to see more added for Canadian leagues such as the NHL.

You can place live bets on many sports events each day at PowerPlay. The “Bet Live” section is quick and easy to use, and there are features such as stats and updates. However, it does not provide live streaming for online sports betting right now.

The minimum bet is $1 at PowerPlay. The maximum varies according to the sport selected, but this is not a sportsbook for high rollers.

The betting odds at PowerPlay could be sharper. They are displayed in the decimal format for Canadian bettors, and it typically offers 1.90 on either side of a point spread or total. The standard juice would be 1.91 (-110) on either side, so it would be great to see PowerPlay taking a lower house edge. Once again, its odds are often more attractive on soccer and other European sports.

PowerPlay is a legitimate, reputable online sportsbook with a license from the Curaçao Gaming Commission. It has a strong range of betting options on certain sports, and its focus on Canadian players helps it stand out from many offshore rivals. It always pays out on time, earning it a B rating with BMR. 

The PowerPlay customer service team is available 24/7 via the live chat option. The agents are accustomed to assisting Canadian bettors, and they are efficient, friendly and quick at replying to requests. There is a help center on the site too.

PowerPlay casino offers a huge portfolio of world-class casino games from elite providers such as Microgaming, Playtech, Pragmatic Play and Evolution Gaming. It features slots, table games and live dealer games.

This is one of the best online casinos available in Canada. The site offers a broad range of virtual sports games too. It does not offer a racebook or an online poker room.
