Twenty-nine years in three sentences
Sports Interaction went online in 1997 from Kahnawà:ke, the Mohawk territory south of Montreal, and was among the first brands licensed by the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission. For most of its life it was run by Avid Gaming, and in February 2022 the international group Entain bought Avid, with the price reported at CAD 300 million. At the end of October 2024 the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke and Entain announced that the long partnership through Mohawk Online would end.
We report that last step as it was announced and nothing more. How the brand is operated and regulated province by province today is written in the footer and terms of its own site, and that is the version to trust over any third-party summary, ours included.
Who Sports Interaction suits
The typical user is a Canadian sports bettor first. Hockey, the CFL and the big North American leagues are the core of the offer, and the casino grew up next to the sportsbook rather than the other way round. People who search for alternatives tend to fall into two groups: bettors who want a second book to compare prices, and bettors who discovered the casino tab and want a bigger one.
Where Sports Interaction is stronger
- A sportsbook built for Canadian habits. Nearly three decades of pricing Canadian sports is not something a newer site catches up on quickly.
- Brand recognition. Many Canadians opened their first betting account there. Familiarity counts when something goes wrong and you want to know who you are dealing with.
- The backing of a large listed group. Since 2022 it belongs to Entain, which also owns half of BetMGM. Whatever one thinks of big groups, their reporting obligations make them visible.
- Canadian currency. Our five hold balances in euros; a Canadian-focused book works in dollars.
If the sportsbook is the only reason you have an account, and you are happy with it, the honest advice is to keep it. What follows is for players whose interest has shifted towards the casino, or who want a second account on a different platform.
Sister brands: what an Entain alternative really is
Because Entain also co-owns BetMGM, moving from Sports Interaction to BetMGM keeps you inside the same wider group, even though the two sites are run separately. That is not a problem in itself, but it is worth knowing if the reason you are leaving is something about the group rather than the brand. Our BetMGM page covers that one. None of the five casinos below belongs to Entain or to any group named on this page.
Five casino-and-sportsbook alternatives
Each of them runs its sportsbook off the casino wallet, so your money is not split between two sites. They take cards and crypto, not Interac.
Cas2Bet
The obvious first stop for a bettor who wants a serious casino next to the book: 4,657 games and 519 live tables on one balance, so a win on the Leafs can go straight to a blackjack table.
100% matchPromo code CAS100
YourWin24
A sportsbook plus a casino laid out differently from the others, with a 250% first-deposit match. A reasonable second book for comparing odds without giving up casino games.
250% matchPromo code YOUR250
CasinoWinner
Sports on the same login and a 300% match on the first deposit. Before you take it, check on the promotions page whether sports bets count towards the playthrough, because that decides whether the bonus suits a bettor.
300% matchPromo code WIN300
ZeSlots
Slot-first, with 3,921 titles, but the sportsbook is there when a game is on. Pin it to your phone from Safari or Chrome and it opens like an app, which helps with in-play bets.
250% matchPromo code ZESLOTS250
CasinoPurple
Same lobby as ZeSlots, same sportsbook on the account, and a 100% match. The smaller of the two offers means less to wager before a withdrawal.
100% matchPromo code PURPLE100
What we did not measure
We have not held an account at Sports Interaction, so this page contains no payout time, no odds comparison and no support rating for it. Odds move by the minute and any snapshot would be out of date by the time you read it. If price is your reason for a second book, compare the same market on both sites the evening you bet.
One practical tip for bettors switching
Deposit and withdraw with the same method, and do not accept a casino bonus if you only plan to bet on sports until you have read how sports wagers count towards it. Most first-withdrawal problems at combined sites come from a bonus accepted by reflex.
Bettors in Quebec
A large share of Sports Interaction's audience has always been in Quebec, a few minutes from where the brand began. In that province the Crown option is Loto-Québec, whose sports product is Mise-o-jeu, and the choice for a Quebec bettor is usually between that, a long-standing private brand and the casinos that open their doors to Quebec players.
Language is the practical detail that settles it for many people. The five casinos above can all be switched to French, from the lobby to the cashier, which we confirmed on each of them in September 2026. The sportsbook markets follow the same setting, so a Canadiens game or a CFL match reads as naturally in French as it does in English.
