Attention: FunBet is not accepting any new players

While Funbet may have only launched in 2020 – this online sportsbook is already making a name for itself as one of the best betting sites available in Canada. The team behind Funbet clearly poured a great deal of effort into creating the sportsbook. The site offers top-tier live sports betting, some of the best odds boosts through features like Combi Boost, excellent customer service, and so much more.

You can find all the details in our comprehensive Funbet review below.

Funbet Sports Betting Review

Funbet is one of the newest online sportsbooks to enter the Canadian market, launching its site in 2020. Although they are new to online sports betting – early thoughts on Funbet are nothing but positive. Additionally, Funbet is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, meaning they must adhere to some of the world’s highest gaming standards.

Funbet Welcome Bonus

Funbet offers new users a welcome bonus when they create an account and make their initial deposit. Funbet will match 100% of your first deposit – starting at $10 up to $150.

The welcome bonus must be used on wagers – single or combination bets – with minimum odds of 2.00. Minimum odds of 1.30 for each event in the combination wager is another requirement.

Although the welcome bonus is lower than other sites, the six times rollover requirement is amongst the better we have ever seen.

Funbet Sign Up Process

Creating an account at Funbet is an easy three-step process. Once you click on the Join Now button in the top right corner, a window will pop up with the three steps. The first step is your basic personal information, the second step is your address, and the final step is your account information.

The accountant information step lets you pick your odds style (European, Fractional, or American) and your currency. It also allows you to pre-set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Lastly, do not forget to grab the Funbet bonus offered to new users when creating your account.

Funbet Website

Funbet’s website is well-designed and easy to use. The site layouts upcoming sports on the main page, including a highlights section, where you can find the biggest upcoming games and events. The website offers a left bar section where bettors can quickly and efficiently navigate to any sport. Any information you are looking for is easy to find when navigating the site.

Funbet Betting Options

You will find all the most popular North American sports available for betting at Funbet. They also offer a massive number of betting options on European soccer, tennis, and Formula 1. They also have one of the better selections on politics markets we have seen on any sportsbook. Where Funbet could expand is by offering more markets on eSports.

Funbet Betting Odds

Funbet knows the importance of providing quality and competitive betting odds – and offers highly competitive odds for a new online sportsbook. Funbet gives its members some great features that help separate themselves from the competition.

One of the best parts of Funbet odds are the Funbet odds boosts – where you can get boosted odds on specific wagers. You can find these boosts under different names such as DK Boosts, Super Boost Canada, and Combi Booster. DK Boosts and Super Boost Canada are set by Funbet, while the Combi Booster is available to a user who parlays five or wagers on a bet slip.

Funbet Live Betting

Arguably the best feature at Funbet is their live sports betting. Funbet offers some of the most competitive live betting markets and odds on dozens of different sports.

Funbet also offers quality cash outs on open bets. They also have a feature called Add2bet – where you can take an open wager, and instead of cashing it out, you can add new bets on to it.

Visa and Mastercard
Online Bank Transfers
Interac e-Transfers

Funbet Casino

The online casino at Funbet offers a wide collection of virtual slots, tabletop games, and card games. The casino at Funbet works well, although it is not the most stylish casino we have ever seen.

Funbet Promos

Other ongoing promotions available to new and existing users. One ongoing promotion they offer is the “Freebet with YourBet,” where you get credits when building your own accumulators.

They have offered previous promotions on some of the biggest events – such as the NFL Playoffs – and we expect them to add more promotions as the sportsbook and casino expand and mature.

You can find all their ongoing promotions in the promos tab at the top of their homepage.

Funbet Live Casino

The live casino at Funbet functions exceptionally well – as the team has partnered with Evolution Gaming. The partnership allows for their live poker rooms and other games to run with virtually no problems. Funbet could expand their live casino offerings – but having only launched in 2020, it is a good selection for one of the newer online casinos.

Funbet Mobile Betting

Funbet’s mobile betting site works just as great as the desktop version. The mobile homepage shows live, upcoming, and highlights – which features a personalized Your Tab section as well as the ten biggest upcoming games in the most popular sports. The mobile site also offers every betting option available on the desktop site.

You can also do everything from talking to customer service to making withdrawals and deposits from your mobile phone or tablet.

FunBet Live Stream

FunBet does not currently offer the live streaming feature. This is not a make or break thing for online sportsbooks, in our opinion.

Andrew Wilson

Andrew Wilson was born in Toronto, Canada, and he is a passionate Toronto sports fan, spending much of his free time following, watching and occasionally attending live sports matches. While he loves his Toronto teams, his biggest sports passion is the National Football League. Have spent his youth playing football, the NFL elicits all the emotions. Growing up, Andrew’s favourite player was Peyton Manning and, even since he left the Indianapolis Colts (and retired from the NFL), his NFL allegiance remains in Indiana. Andrew’s background does not come from journalism, but the numeric/statistical side of the sporting world. Graduating from the University of Guelph in 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Commerce, Andrew continued his education at George Brown College in Toronto, taking a postgraduate degree in Analytics. During his time at George Brown College, Andrew began to link his passion for sports and flare with numbers to learn more and even tell a story. The first topic he ever wrote about was the greatest Monday Night Football fantasy performances. From there he was hooked and teamed up with Canada Sports Betting, contributing his first article, a Toronto Blue Jays season preview, in March of 2015. When it comes to betting, much of Andrew’s attention is on the four major North American leagues. However, when big events come around (such as March Madness, which he always books the first two days for) and the FIFA World Cup, he knows where to focus his money and energy.
