New Brunswick betting bonuses

Top New Brunswick bookmakers offer valuable bonuses to new and existing customers alike. Let’s dive into the most common types of NB sports betting bonuses.

Welcome bonuses

Welcome bonuses are special offers that provide perks, like free bets, bonus cash, risk-free bets, and cashback. Some welcome bonuses offer a mix of those benefits. These introductory deals are only offered to new customers who make their first deposit within a certain amount of time.

Free bets

Free bets are real-money wagers in which the stake is paid for by the bookmaker. As such, you can win money without needing to risk anything. Free bets are common in welcome bonuses and reloads. However, you can also get them through VIP rewards, completing missions, and birthday bonuses, among other things.

Match deposit bonuses (bonus cash)

With a match deposit bonus, the bookmaker will match a percentage of your deposit. For instance, if you claim a 100% match bonus up to $500 and then deposit $500, the bookie will credit your account with an additional $500. The bonus cash goes into your non-withdrawable bonus balance, but it becomes available for withdrawal once you have satisfied the wagering requirements.

Boosted odds

Boosted odds are promotions through which the bookmaker increases the odds for specific events or betting markets. As such, winning bets with boosted odds applied pay out much more than they otherwise would. The odds boost might be small or it might be very significant. Either way, it’s an easy way of extracting maximum value out of your wagers.

Risk-free bets

A risk-free bet is a bookmaker promotion that offers a refund on your stake if the bet loses. So, if you claim a $50 risk-free bet, and the bet wins, you’ll be paid as you normally would. If it loses, then the bookie will refund the $50 stake. Risk-free bets offer a lot of upside when used on big underdogs.

No-deposit bonuses

No-deposit bonuses usually come as free bets or bonus cash. The defining characteristic of a no-deposit bonus is that you don’t need to deposit funds or risk your own money to get one. Sites that offer no-deposit bonuses give them to you as soon as you open your new account, although some operators may require verification.

How we rate NB sports betting sites

Our experts use their first-hand experience along with an in-house formula to rate and review New Brunswick bookmakers. Let’s take a closer look at the process.

Our experts start the process by signing up and completing the verification process. We then deposit funds and make a record of how smoothly and efficiently each step goes.
We assess the odds, betting markets, bonuses, payment options, and all available features, including cashout, bet builder, and live streaming. We then place live and pre-match wagers to make sure that the process is quick and easy.
Our experts use the same payment method we use to deposit to request a withdrawal. This allows us to verify the advertised withdrawal times while also letting us see if the bookie throws up any unnecessary barriers.
We analyse the information we gathered and apply the MightyTips rating formula to it. This produces unbiased, fair, and evidence-based ratings. We then compare these ratings to achieve our rankings.

Is sports betting legal in New Brunswick?

Yes, sports betting is legal in New Brunswick for anyone who has reached the age of 19. The citizens of Canada have been allowed to bet on sports since 1985. However, the only option was to make parlays of at least three legs at the time. Thanks to Bill C-218, single-game wagering was legislated throughout Canada. In New Brunswick, sports betting is overseen by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC), the regulator in all four Atlantic provinces.

Is online sports betting legal in New Brunswick?

Graphics for section is online sports beting legal in New Brunswick?

Yes, New Brunswick online sports betting is legal. However, the options are limited to using the Proline Stadium platform, a product of Atlantic Lottery Corporation. We have to be fair here and confirm that they have a very limited choice of betting markets on offer.

Where can I bet on sports in New Brunswick?

If you’d like to make a bet online, Proline Stadium, operated by ALC, would be the only option available. Unfortunately, there are no more licensed New Brunswick betting sites available.

You can also bet in-person. There are no licensed retail New Brunswick sportsbooks at the moment, but you can visit one of many authorized retail locations operated by ALC and its platform named Proline. You can find those in gas stations, convenience stores, and other places selling lottery tickets.

Finally, there’s always an option of using one of the offshore sportsbooks. Technically, they can’t offer services in Canada without a license, but the locals are not forbidden to make bets there. Our list of the best Canadian online betting sites might be worth a look.
