If you are based in Canada and are interested in North American sports and the Canadian leagues then this is the site for you. Sports Interaction were the first legal online sports betting site in Canada and their experience within this market still shows today.

Most other sites that focus on, or target, the Canadian market are based offshore due to national betting restrictions. However, the Kahnawake territory where Sports Interaction is based is one of the few places in Canada where companies can be granted a license. Fortunately, this also means that they are hosted in the same region making their service the fastest for Canadian customers.

Their website will not blow you away, but it functions well, it is user-friendly and reliable. You will be able to find what you want with ease.

Their casino section is excellent. Whatever you want to play, you are likely to find it here. If you are looking for anything from live Texas Hold'em to a DC Comics-inspired casino game then Sports Interaction will be on hand to assist you.

So, overall we are really impressed with what the betting site can offer Canadian sports betting and casino bettors. However, there are a couple of things we would like to see improved. First, a live streaming service would be great to see alongside their excellent in-play and cash-out functions. Secondly, a sports betting app - they currently just have a poker app. Although their site is well optimized for smartphone use it would still be nice to have a user-friendly app for convenience's sake - especially when you are looking to live bet.

    Sports Interaction Promotions

    Their welcome bonus is decent, despite a high rollover, it is still relatively generous when compared with many of the other major betting sites. Otherwise, they don't offer that many promotions. They do have some promotions in their sports and casino sections but since they do not have a dedicated promotions section if you blink you could miss them! So, we suggest you follow them on social media to stay updated.

    About Sports Interaction

    Sports Interaction was launched in 1997 and was awarded its betting license by Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Sports Interaction is the first online sportsbook and casino licensed and regulated in Canada.

    The Kahnawake territory where Sports Interaction is based has become somewhat of a Canadian betting hub. The local gaming commission offers licenses to internet betting companies which is unusual in Canada where betting is usually forced offshore. The fact that the local data centre hosts and manages the internet betting sites means that Sports Interaction enjoys one of the closest and fastest hosted websites in North America.

    Sports Interaction is known as SIA in the Canadian betting community.

    Sports Interaction Sports Betting

    Sports Interaction probably has the best selection of sports betting for the Canadian market. Sports Interaction was the first Canadian company to offer sports betting in Canada and this is reflected in its selection of sports bets it offers today.

    They have a wide selection of sports but they focus on the sports that are most popular in Canada: Hockey, Basketball and Baseball. They also have a great selection of soccer betting, with a good selection for the North American leagues.

    MMA, Tennis, Golf, Boxing and Horse Racing are also popular sports to bet on at Sports Interaction. To find bets on these sports you can look out for their symbols which are shown on along the left-hand bar of the landing page. It's good to get used to these symbols if you are into your live betting, as you'll be able to quickly scan all the live events quickly to identify the sport you want to bet on. They are pretty straightforward; to bet on tennis look for the tennis ball, to bet on hockey look for the hockey puck etc.

    Sports Betting offers a wide selection of standard bets as well as live bets but they also offer a relatively unique section that is titled 'last-minute bets'. These are simply bets that are about to expire. It's nice to have this section if you are looking to place a bet on an event during a peak period of sports betting.

    Sports Interaction Products

    Sports Interaction may not offer any state of the art products but they do offer a great overall standard. You won't find any legal betting site based in Canada with a better selection of betting products.

    Sports Interaction Live-Streaming

    Sports Interaction does not currently offer live streaming.

    Sports Interaction Live-betting

    Sports Interaction offers an excellent live betting section. Their symbols and layout make it easy to navigate around the website quickly which is important when you are placing in-play bets.

    As we mentioned earlier they also have a section called last-minute bets which display bets that are about to expire. This can be useful during peak betting periods.

    Sports Interaction Cash Out

    Sports Interaction offers a cash-out function which can be a great way to secure winnings or cut your losses. With their cash-out function, you can choose to accept odds that offer a reduced return before the event is finished.

    So for example, you have placed a $10 bet on the Winnipeg Jets to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins at odds of 3.00.

    In the third period, the Jets are up 3-1 with 10 minutes to play. Your expected returns would be $20 ($10 in profit). You are getting a little concerned because the Penguins are starting to look dangerous. It is unlikely that they will score twice but you could choose to accept a cash-out. In this scenario you will probably be offered odds which will pay out an amount close to the $20 in your original bet; you can expect to get $18-19 in a scenario like this.

    You can also use this cash-out function if you are losing a bet. If you chose a cash-out in this scenario you will still lose most of your stake but it may be useful in cutting your losses with a few Dollars still to show for it.

    Sports Interaction Casino

    We really like their Casino selection. It is diverse, reliable and offers a great customer experience.

    You have all the classic games for the traditionalists like American Roulette, European Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and Texas Hold'Em. Sports Interaction also offers Keno and Scratchcards.

    They also offer a wide range of exciting new games for you to try out. They offer a lot of games produced by the DC comics franchise such as Justice League, Batman v Superman and Man of Steel.

    The selection can appear a little overwhelming at first so we recommend that you begin by clicking on the 'popular' tab to view which games are most played by customers.

    Their live casino is excellent. You can play Blackjack, Age of Gods Roulette, Spin a Win, Baccarat, Prestige Roulette, Casino Hold'em, Unlimited Blackjack and Prestige Baccarat. The Prestige games are a service provided by Playtech and offer five dynamic camera views. All the live casino games use real dealers who deal in real time.

    Sports Interaction Mobile

    Sports Interaction's website is optimized for mobile use. You will be able to access everything you can on the main website on your mobile.

    Sports Interaction App

    Sports Interaction offers a mobile app for their poker section but not for their full casino site or sports betting. You can download this app on your iPhone or Android. You can play 'Twister Tournaments' with jackpots of up to €50,000, Poker Missions and Speed Poker.

    When downloading the app you may have to change your security settings to accept apps from 'unrecognized sources'. This is due to the regulation placed on betting sites rather than a reflection of Sports Interaction's reliability specifically. Just ensure you have selected the correct app when you do this.

    Sports Interaction Mobile

    Sports Interaction customer service

    Finally but not least we have to mention their customer service. This is a point which could be crucial in helping Canadian customers chose their betting site. Sports Interactive's customer service is top notch. They are open 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. You can call them, e-mail them or live chat with them. You will also be calling Montreal so speaking to someone who understands the Canadian market and it won't cost you a fortune!
