Playnow Mobile Sports
Sports Action Mobile. PlayNow Sports gives you the chance to get your online sports bet back! Learn more » Bet on Sports online. PlayNow.com Sports is Canada’s. Unlike other provincial sports lotteries in Canada, PlayNow runs bonus promotions (if you lose your first mobile bet, you get your money back, etc.). Granted, those promotions are not quite as good as online sportsbooks that offer up to $200 cash on your first deposit (such as several of the best sportsbooks for Canadians that we recommend).
