The legal situation in the Northwest Territories

Persons 19 years of age and older can engage in and legally wager on sports in the Northwest Territories. There aren’t any laws preventing residents of the Northwest Territories from betting online using the best sports betting apps in Canada.

However, barring a major overhaul of Canada's sports betting legislation, it's unlikely Northwesters see names like FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetRivers apply for online gaming licences. These sportsbooks do not operate in the grey market.

Breaking the ice: sports betting in the Northwest Territories

NWT & Nunavut Lotteries, in conjunction with WCLC, oversees all gambling activities in the Northwest Territories. Sport Select is the only locally regulated option.

However, there are plenty of licenced Canadian sports betting sites that offer much more than the lone homegrown product. Most provide more events, loads of markets, and popular betting options like (moneyline) bets, point spreads, Over/Unders (totals), props, and futures. They also have better odds and will often reward bettors with bonuses and special promos. Registration is straightforward, and bettors can be up and running within minutes.
