We use our accounts to browse all available betting markets and use tools to make an informed bet.

Northwest Territories sportsbook bonuses

Northwest Territories bettors and sports fans can benefit from a wide range of sportsbook bonuses and promos. Betting promos come in different types, from welcome promotions, rebates, to free bets, with varying T&Cs.

Sign-up bonuses

A sign-up bonus is a popular promotion among new players and verified bettors of the platform. To qualify, you’ll need to complete the registration and verification and make a minimum deposit, typically at C$20. Signup bonuses can be a deposit match, for example, doubling your initial deposit, or a fixed cash bonus. Aside from a minimum deposit, a sign-up promotion is subject to a validity period and a wagering requirement.

Free bets

Free bets are credits you can use to place risk-free wagers on qualifying markets and odds. There are three kinds of free sports bets: matched free bets, risk-free bets, and no-deposit free bets. A matched free bet is most common, and it’s often credited as a welcome promotion. The risk-free bet refunds your losing wager, while a no-deposit free bet doesn’t require a deposit.

Boosted Odds

Boosted odds add an extra to your payout if you meet the bookmaker’s qualifications. Here, the operator picks a market, like a Money Line from +125 to +250, then boosts the betting odds for a limited price. You’ll find three kinds of odds boosts- the Single Bet, Parlay, and Profit Boosts. In a Single Boost, the extra payout applies to one outcome, the Parlay covers multiple bets, and Profit adds a certain percentage to your payout.

Is sports betting legal in the Northwest Territories?

Yes, sports betting is legal in the Northwest Territories. You must be 19 to gamble, yet the minimum age is 18 for some offshore sportsbooks. Single-game wagering was allowed in Canada in 2021, thanks to Bill C-218. NT residents can make a single bet offline using Sport Select, a Western Canada Lottery Corporation product. However, the choice of betting markets is very modest, with only game-winner, over/under, and point spread on offer. There’s no chance to bet on Esports or non-sports events in the Northwest Territories.

Is online sports betting legal in the Northwest Territories?

Pic about is online sports betting legal in the Northwest Territories?

No, there are no licensed online bookmakers in the area. However, Northwest Territories online sports betting still exists, as many locals use offshore sportsbooks. There are no signs of a licensed online sportsbook evolving soon.

Where can I bet on sports in the Northwest Territories?

You can bet offline, attending one of 40+ licensed retail places, usually at gas stations, grocery stores, or convenience stores. Get a Sport Select ticket, a Western Canada Lottery Corporation product, make your selections and pay for the wage. Keep the ticket because otherwise, you won’t be able to collect your winnings if the bet wins.

As there are no licensed betting sites in the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.), the only other option would be to use the services of one of the offshore sportsbooks. Bookies can’t technically operate in Canada without a license, but country residents are not prohibited from placing bets there.
