New customers in Canada are eligible for the BetRegal sports welcome bonus with a value of $50 in the form of free bets. New players must place a qualifying bet of $50 so the offer is a 100% match bet bonus. The qualifying bet has the same value as the bonus.
On registering, there is an option to enter a BetRegal bonus code which activates the bonus. The minimum deposit for the welcome offer is $10 and any qualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 1/1 (Evens) or bigger. The free bet has odds restrictions of 4/5 (1.80). Any winnings do not include the stake and the free bets expire after 14 days.
The BetRegal welcome bonus is complimented by a range of ongoing promotions for existing customers. These offers are generally sports and event specific and have a limited time scale. At the time of this BetRegal review, the major promotion was the Acca Boost. Winning multiple bets receive a profit boost on a sliding scale. The extra winnings range from 4% to 77%, depending on the number of selections, from four to 15 and over.
Customers can benefit from this promotion on a daily basis but there is a limit on the extra profit from each Acca Boost. BetRegal Casino players can claim the 100% match bonus and the maximum bonus is $250.
Customers in Canada can take advantage of BetRegal free bets related on a selection of sports and major events. There are wagering requirements and odds restrictions that are realistic and achievable when placing a free bet. The overall package of promotions and any free bet for new and existing customers in Canada provides a good incentive to register, deposit funds and place bets.
This BetRegal review finds ‘Sport’ as the fourth option on the main menu on the BetRegal Homepage, after Casino, Live Casino and Virtual Sports. A search box makes navigation easy and Featured Links display the main betting events of the day. The full range of sports appears initially by the number of markets and then in alphabetical order. Bettors in Canada can place wagers in about 30 sports categories and on an array of betting markets.
The most popular betting sports are football (soccer), tennis and basketball. The site also features a horse racing betting service. Customers in Canada can bet on the four main pro and college sports in North America. The site offers an extensive range of match and futures markets for the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL.
In addition to sports, bettors can place wagers on Politics, eSports and TV and Entertainment Specials. The most bet-on match markets are the money line, handicaps and totals. There are more lucrative betting options, such as parlays and forecasts, which offer the potential for a decent return from a small stake.
The sports betting experience with BetRegal for residents of Canada is enhanced by the following features:
Football is the most popular betting sport at BetRegal and the most bet-on competition is the Premier League in England. BetRegal displays the match result market after 90 minutes which has three potential outcomes: Home Win, Draw and Away Win. There is a link to over 180 related markets you can add to a betting slip and they appear under the following headings:
BetRegal also publishes a futures betting market for the main domestic leagues in Europe and South America, the Champions League, World Cup and major continental tournaments.
Customers with BetRegal in Canada can place bets on horse racing meetings in the UK and Ireland and fixtures in other racing countries, including Canada. The site also offers betting on future races and meetings, including the Cheltenham Festival and Breeders’ Cup.
The in-play betting platform at BetRegal offers live events for the most popular sports. Football (soccer) and tennis are the most represented but there are also live events covering games in American Football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. There is a graphical display of the action for each event and live bettors can refer to live match data during a game. BetRegal takes down any betting market after a key event such as a goal in football or break in tennis and displays the latest odds after a short delay.
There is no live streaming of betting events on the BetRegal betting site or mobile app. In fact, it is rare for Canada-facing sportsbooks to live stream events, so BetRegal is not at a major disadvantage in this area.
The registration process for new customers is quick and straightforward. New users can claim up to $50 in free bets when they click the link on this page and deposit up to $50. From there, you will be prompted to enter your email address, along with your new username and password.
There is an optional field for the BetRegal promo code or bonus code which activates the bonus. Once all the required information has been entered, the new customer creates the account and deposits betting funds.
Customers with BetRegal located in Canada can deposit cash using debit and credit cards, Bank Transfer, prepaid safe cards and E-Wallets. Transfers are instant and the minimum deposit is $10.
The same methods are available to withdraw funds. The minimum withdrawal is generally $20 and the process time is 3 to 6 days, depending on the provider. There are generally no service fees but some providers may impose a charge for carrying out a withdrawal transaction.
Bettors in Canada who visit BetRegal to place sports wagers enjoy an excellent sports betting experience with few flaws or missing features. The website and mobile app are intuitive. The sports betting service can be read on desktop computers and iPhone and Android devices. Both types of technology can be used for a fast and efficient sports betting experience.
A search facility makes it seamless to locate a league or fixture. The Featured Links and menu structure make the website and app easy to navigate and speed is one of the other positive attributes of the BetRegal Sportsbook.
At the time of writing, customers in Canada cannot download a BetRegal app. However, the website can be read on iPhone and Android devices when the browser is optimised for mobile. There are only slight variations between the website and mobile service.
The layout changes in a few small ways but a market can be reached with the minimum of taps. There are no mobile-specific offers but mobile users can claim the standard welcome bonus and enjoy the benefits of ongoing promotions.
