If you want to bet on Canadian Football or any other brand of football or soccer
for that matter, some top sites accept Canadian-based registrations, some do not.
However, things have gotten complicated in Canada with the new legal market in Ontario.
Ideally, by betting in your home currency, you’ll be able to avoid currency exchange
fees that would otherwise occur for every deposit and withdrawal to and from your
betting account. This usually amounts to a savings of 2% to 5% per transaction.

with the Canadian Dollar betting sites.
Two of the most popular e-wallet payment solution providers Skrill and NETELLER do
not serve Canadians with regard to sportsbooks. Similar services that work for Canadians

available for deposits and withdrawals.

Technically, as of 2020 single sporting event bets of any kind are not allowed to
be accepted by the Canadian Criminal Code. This is why so many Canadians look to
play at betting sites that operate in legal gaming jurisdictions outside Canada like
those listed above whether in Malta or Curacao. However, the Federal government
plans to table legislation in early 2021 that will decriminalize single-event betting.
