"Offshore access" means the site accepts players there without a provincial licence: provincial rules and complaint routes do not cover it.

Bet105 sells itself on price: a crypto-focused sportsbook with reduced juice, meaning lower built-in margins on common lines, plus a casino section. No Canadian province licenses it. Its own licensing page claims an Anjouan licence, while LCB and Casino.guru list no licence. Bet105 in Canada therefore sits in the unregulated offshore market.

LCB lists Canadian dollars and says the sports offer excludes Ontario. We start with the licence and come to the pricing after.

Bet105 licence claim and what it covers

A licence claim on an operator’s own page is the weakest kind of evidence. We could not verify the claim, and two major review sites say it has no licence. We also could not read the official terms: bet105.ag redirected elsewhere from our research location. Casino.guru and forum users connect Bet105 to Heritage Sports, which we could not confirm.

Even a confirmed Anjouan licence would not change the Canadian position. Sports betting here, including single-event wagers legalised on 27 August 2021, is run by provinces or their licensees: iGaming Ontario operators and PROLINE+ in Ontario, PlayNow in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Mise-o-jeu in Quebec, the Atlantic Lottery, PlayAlberta and Alberta’s new private market. Outside them you get:

  • no provincial body to settle a dispute over a graded bet or a held payout;
  • no provincial self-exclusion;
  • no Canadian check on who owns the business.

The law on individual bettors is unclear, so we make no claim that using Bet105 is an offence. Our guide to offshore licences covers the wider picture.

Who answers if a Bet105 bet goes wrong

Is Bet105 legit? It runs a working sportsbook and is discussed on betting forums. Pricing aside, the real question is who you can turn to if something goes wrong, and for Bet105 the answer is only the operator. Our score treats the unverified licence as no licence.

Reduced juice and the Bet105 sportsbook

Reduced juice means a standard point spread might be priced closer to even money on both sides than at a typical book, so you give up less margin per bet. That is a real pricing advantage for frequent bettors, but it does not make betting profitable over time. Our odds calculator shows how to turn prices into implied probability and see the margin yourself. The casino section has slots and table games; we did not confirm the studios.

Bet105 bonus and promo code

Low-margin books tend to offer small bonuses, since the pricing is the pitch. Values on file: welcome offer not stated; promo code not stated; rollover not stated. We found no no deposit bonus or free spins offer. Our bonuses guide explains rollover on sports bonuses.

Crypto deposits and Bet105 withdrawal

Payment methods on file: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, TRON, USD Coin, Binance. Interac on file: not stated. In practice this is a crypto book: you buy coins on an exchange, send them, and convert back after a Bet105 withdrawal, paying fees both ways. Published payout time on file: not stated.

Bet105 app

We found no Bet105 app in the Canadian App Store or Google Play. The site is used through a mobile browser. Do not install betting apps from download links outside the official stores.

Why Bet105 scores low

Our score of 25/100 reflects no verifiable licence, crypto-only funding and unread terms, offset in part by sharp pricing. Betting is 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec). If betting stops being fun, our responsible gambling page lists free provincial helplines.

Questions readers ask

Has Bet105 got a valid licence?

Bet105 claims an Anjouan licence that we could not verify, and LCB and Casino.guru list none. It has no provincial licence in Canada.

Does Bet105 accept Canadians?

LCB lists Canadian dollars and says the sports offer excludes Ontario. Bet105 is not on the iGaming Ontario list.

What does reduced juice mean?

The sportsbook builds a smaller margin into its prices, so common bets pay slightly more than at a standard book. It does not remove the house edge.

How do Bet105 withdrawals work?

Payouts are made in cryptocurrency, which you then convert on an exchange. No payout time is confirmed on file.
