    PlayNow Sportsbook Review

    Operated by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, PlayNow is the best online sportsbook for betting in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan because it is fully licensed, offers great odds, and welcomes new players with a massive $150 bonus.

    PlayNow.com is the official online gambling site operated by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). The site initially went live in 2004, but it wasn’t until 2010 that it officially became the first casino website run by a province in Canada. Sports betting was added in 2012, and PlayNow launched in Manitoba in 2013. Following amended online gambling regulations in 2021 and the launch of Saskatchewan in 2022, PlayNow now offers single-game sports betting in all three provinces. Let's see if the new platform lives up to our high standards.

    PlayNow bonuses and promotions

    3.0/5

    To help celebrate the legalization of single-game sports betting in Canada, the PlayNow sportsbook offers a 100% welcome bonus. There are also other specials for frequent bettors. 

    Sign-up bonus
    Available for both new and current players during the promotional period, the 100% match requires the PlayNow bonus code SINGLEBET. Deposit $10 or more and automatically receive free bets in five equal increments totaling the deposited amount. The bonus is capped at $150, and the free bets will not be returned with the winnings.

    Parlay bonus
    Known as the Bet-Back Bonus, this promotional campaign at PlayNow can help parlay bettors save some money. The bonus will give back the stake if you place an eligible parlay with the provided selections for the day. If only one selection doesn’t go through, you get the stake back as a free bet of up to $100. Different days of the week correspond to different sports; Tuesday is NHL, Wednesday is NBA, Saturday is NHL, Sunday is NFL, and UFC occurs on a per-fight basis.

    PlayNow key features

    4.0/5

    PlayNow has recently improved the layout of its platform and added some features. The clean design allows for easy navigation, and users can enjoy in-play betting, early cash out, and detailed stats.

    Live betting

    PlayNow live betting is easy to browse. It displays sports at the top of the page, and you can also pin your favourite events. The bookmaker covers all of the big sports leagues in Canada, the U.S., and Europe, and offers in-play betting options. The page usually has a virtual display and stats.

    Casino

    The PlayNow Casino is available on the same site as the online sportsbook. It has over 300 games from the likes of IGT, Novomatic, NextGen Gaming, and SG Interactive. Most of them are slots, but we also found plenty of table games, including some live dealer options.

    Early cash out

    Cash Out has been added to PlayNow. It is available on desktop and mobile sites in selected markets. Players can use the feature from the site’s Betslip, located via the My bets tab. Select which bet you wish to cash out, use the slider to set the amount, and convert your winnings.

    Poker

    PlayNow Poker is exclusively available for players in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. It holds unique promotions, weekly tournaments, and special poker series. A highlight is the $150,000 guaranteed poker tournament with a buy-in of $320 and daily satellites that start from $0.27.

    PlayNow mobile app

    While PlayNow doesn’t have native apps for mobile devices, the site definitely makes up for it. The layout actually looks better on a smartphone since everything is nicely organized; there is a compact menu with the different products and a quick navigation bar at the bottom. As a result, the mobile betting experience is user-friendly and fun.

    PlayNow security and license

    4.2/5

    PlayNow.com is a gambling site owned by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). This is the provincial authority for legal gambling in British Columbia, offering a wide range of products for players in the province. The BCLC partnered with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries (MBLL) and the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) to also make the site available in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. BCLC and MBLL are Canadian Crown corporations operated by the government in accordance with current laws and regulations, as does SIGA. As a result, PlayNow.com is safe and secure for real money gambling online.

    PlayNow customer service

    4.0/5

    The help section has a list of FAQs that can assist players in learning more about the operator and its products. For direct customer support, we found the PlayNow live chat feature to be the best contact method. You can open a window with a few clicks. Other options include phone and email support, although it can take up to 10 days to receive a response by email.

    PlayNow review conclusion

    3.6/5

    PlayNow has grown into a full-fledged online sportsbook that can rival the biggest offshore operators. For residents of British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, it is definitely worth checking out, as we can see from these highlights:

    Operated by provincial governments and First Nations
    The fact that PlayNow.com is operated by the BCLC, the MBLL, and the SIGA comes with some unique advantages. First of all, bettors are guaranteed safe and regulated online wagering options with legitimate payouts. Second, the sportsbook’s profits are invested back into the provinces and First-Nations communities to fund health care, education, and more.  

    Wide range of sports and bets
    While the PlayNow offering used to be a bit limited, this is no longer the case. Bettors can place single bets, parlays, teasers, and systems. New sports, such as MMA, have also been added to the list to give players more options. Popular picks generally include the NHL, NBA, NFL, NCAA, and the CFL. 

    Great 100% bonus
    We know that every detail can make a difference in sports betting, and doubling your bankroll can have a big impact. The 100% match bonus currently available at PlayNow allows users to place more bets and take a few more risks.
