TonyBet offers punters and gamers alike a wealth of betting and gaming opportunities. The company hails from Estonia and was originally launched in 2003 under the name Omnibet. In 2009, it was acquired by a former poker player, Antanas Guoga, better known as Tony G. If the name sounds familiar, that is probably because he was at several world poker tournaments, and became well-known for being an outspoken and aggressive player. Punters and players in Ontario will be especially excited as TonyBet acquired a gaming licence with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in 2023. This opened up the massive sportsbook and casino to the Ontario market.

Pros and Cons

  • Well-Established Casino & Sportsbook
  • Great Betting Opportunities for Ontario
  • Over 5,000 Casino Titles
  • No Dedicated Mobile App
  • No Racing Bets

Sports Betting

4.5/5

The lion’s share of the action at TonyBet is focused on the extensive sports betting opportunities. The sportsbook is rife with exciting betting markets on sports that are highly popular in Ontario.

Sports:

Whether you want to bet on the NHL, MLB, UFC, NBA, Premier League, or any top games in sports across the world, you will be able to do so at TonyBet. The most popular sports: soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball, and tennis, have the most betting markets. You may find hundreds of betting possibilities for individual games in any of those sports. TonyBet covers over 20 different sports, so you can also bet on tournaments in darts, snooker, rugby, American football, and so on. However, it does not include many racing sports. Formula 1, NASCAR, horse racing and greyhound racing bets are not offered at TonyBet.

eSports:

eSports can be broken down into several categories. There are sports-related eSports bets such as eSoccer and eBasketball, and then there are the non-sports eSports such as Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Valorant, League of Legends, Dota, and so on. All these categories have ample coverage, with bets offered for the top international competitions. You will not be limited to simple moneylines either, as there may be totals, handicaps and even correct score options offered too.

Making a Bet:

With the handy bet slip on the right-hand side of the screen, you will be able to collect all your selections. You can form a long list of singles or decide to link them up into a parlay bet, compounding the odds for a truly massive return. However, you cannot make system bets at TonyBet. Round-robin betting is not supported either.

Casino Games

4.4/5

The casino at TonyBet is outstanding and could easily be launched as a separate casino. It is absolutely massive, boasting thousands of games – of which over 5,000 are just slots. It is easy to browse through the collection to find what you are looking for, with the exception of table games and video poker. Though there are those types of games, you will need to search for the games independently as they are not grouped into categories, which is a bit frustrating.

Slots:

If you are familiar with online slots, then no doubt you will recognise names such as NetEnt, Play’n GO, Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play and Spinomenal. These are just a few of the developers who supply the fantastic games at TonyBet. The collection includes all the slots you can possibly wish for, including a range of jackpot games. For massive prizes, you can check out titles such as Mega Moolah, 9 Blazing Diamonds WowPot, Diamond King Jackpots, Fishin’ Pots of Gold, or Cash ‘N Riches Megaways.

Table Games:

As mentioned earlier, table games are not grouped together so you can only find them by searching in the search game tool. This does not do justice to the collection, which features a large range of casino staples such as Roulette, Blackjack, Poker, Baccarat, and more. Traditional casino table games are available and so are all sorts of different variants, which include side bets, added features, and may have slightly different rules from the base games.

Video Poker:

The same goes for video poker. If you filter by provider, then check out the video poker titles from Habanero, Play’n GO, Wazdan and Evoplay Entertainment. These will give you the bulk of video poker games available at TonyBet, and it is no humble collection either.

Crash Games:

Crash games are put into a category of their own at TonyBet. These games are the latest big trend to hit the gaming industry, and providers such as Spribe, Pragmatic Play and Evoplay Entertainment supply some of the best games in the genre. Naturally, you can find all these titles at TonyBet.

Live Games:

If you are into live games, then you can pick from over 100 titles at TonyBet. The catalogue includes everything you would expect, including Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette and Poker. There are also lots of game show titles, all of which are a blast to play and come with surprisingly large prizes.

Licensing and Regulation

5.0/5

iGaming Ontario (iGO) has collaborated with the Government of Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to create a gaming market aimed at safeguarding consumers who gamble through private gaming companies.

TonyBet holds a license issued by iGO. Casinos with this license are subject to rigorous monitoring to ensure game integrity, player protection, and responsible operations.

iGO has implemented strict regulations that gambling sites are required to follow. These rules aim to promote responsible gambling, protect vulnerable groups such as youth and self-excluded players, and improve game integrity.

Payment Options

4.0/5

There is no shortage of payment methods at TonyBet, which makes banking extremely easy. It offers over 20 different ways to top up your account, and TonyBet supports USD, CAD, NZD and EUR. TonyBet also has provisions for crypto gambling, as it supports some of the most popular cryptocurrencies.

  • MasterCard
  • VISA
  • Interac
  • Diners Club
  • Discover
  • Skrill
  • Neteller
  • PayPal
  • AstroPay
  • Giropay
  • Jeton
  • EcoPayz
  • Perfect Money
  • Trust Pay

These are some of the most popular payment options at TonyBet. Typically, withdrawals using credit or debit cards can take up to 7 days. E-wallets are much faster, as they have a processing time of 12 hours and arrive shortly afterwards. You can also make deposits or withdrawals using BTC, ETH or LTC. Cryptocurrency withdrawals are extremely quick and may take up to 24 hours.

Customer Support

4.1/5

Good customer support can go a long way in the eGaming industry. Members of TonyBet have a good set of options when they need some help. The best option for urgent matters is the live chat, which is available 24/7 and you can generally expect a response within minutes. You can also send an email, but you may have to wait for up to 12 hours to receive a reply.

If you are not a registered customer at TonyBet, then you cannot use the live chat, but you can send emails to the support team. Also, there is a help form on the Contact Us page of the website. Basically, this is a form that you can fill out and send to the team, and they should reply to you via email.

Mobile Availability

3.9/5

The good news is that TonyBet is mobile-friendly, so you can open the sportsbook or casino on your smartphone or tablet. The website uses HTML5 software so it can run on any device, and it has an optimised design for smaller screens. You can read all the bets on the website and pop open your bet slip with ease. It is very efficient and easy to get the hand of.

Onto the bad news, there is no dedicated mobile app. It can be argued that you may not necessarily need one, especially if the website is perfect for mobile phones or tablets. However, if there was a mobile app then you could access your bets faster – and any live bettor would know that those seconds could be crucial in making live bets or cashing out.

Summary

4.3/5

Punters will most definitely be pleased with all the great bets at TonyBet. The most popular sports in Ontario, namely, hockey, soccer, basketball and tennis, are all covered extensively. The casino is also pretty nifty, as it has an enormous collection of titles.

There are some areas where TonyBet falls short, such as its lack of racing bets. Horse Racing is most sorely missed, and that is not the only area the sportsbook could improve. If it offered a slightly more advanced bet slip, with round-robin and system bets, it would be amazing.

If you do not bet on racing sports (horse racing, formula 1, etc), and do not use complicated system bets or round-robin bets, then there is no reason why you should not enjoy TonyBet. It covers all the top sporting events with extensive betting markets and competitive odds.
