Welcome Bonus
Canadian players who sign for a new real money account at Sportingbet receive a 100% match on their first deposit, up to $150. To receive this signup offer, register for a new account, make a first deposit (minimum $10) and wager that amount within 14 days, then your bonus sum will then be credited to your account. The wagering requirement is 2x the deposit + bonus amount (effectively 4x, which is still lower than at many comparable sites). It is important to note that you’re required to accept the bonus during the sign up process to be eligible to claim it.
