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.
