Our verdict

PointsBet pays out fast, with Interac in one to two hours, and offers demo play, which is rare in Ontario. The serious caveat is its compliance record: the AGCO has penalized it twice and, in February 2026, proposed a five-day suspension over failures tied to the Jontay Porter betting scandal. There is also no loyalty program.

Best forPlayers who want fast payouts and do not care about loyalty perks

Pros

Fast Interac payouts, one to two hours
Demo and free-play mode for slots and tables
Canada-localized exclusives like Canada Blackjack
Combined sportsbook and casino app

Cons

Three AGCO actions, including a proposed 2026 suspension

Low Google Play rating
Support starts with a triage bot
