Adhering to a Las Vegas-type regulation
under the administration of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission,
Sports Interaction is the first fully licensed and regulated
online sportsbook in North America, particularly in Canada.
Bonus Offers and Free Bets
Sports Interaction isn’t quite high on promotions.
But still, the company gives out viable bonuses for its
loyal clients. Regular promotions such as Refer-a-Friend
and deposit bonuses usually result in 5%-10% bonuses on
customers’ accounts.
Opening an Account
Opening a Sports Interaction account is like finding
a diamond in the rough. Before you get to the goods, it
will take forever to finish the process. There have been
instances when the Sign-up page isn’t fully compatible
with some web browsers, causing the page not to load properly.
There are even some who aren’t able to finish the
registration due to the “Open Account application
declined” error message, whereby the only resolution
is to contact their Customer Support.
Navigation and Design
If you can look past the visual noise created by banner
advertisements, you will appreciate the sophisticated
look of this sportsbook site. For a service that covers
a lot of sporting events, the contents and location of
the lines aren’t awfully positioned. In fact, Sports
Interaction is still able to provide a facility to accommodate
news and box scores of different games. A truly admirable
attribute.
Navigating through many links and odds can be quite confusing
in other sites, but Sports Interaction seems to be up-to-par
in this department.
Type of Bets Taken
Sports Interaction has a more complete roster of wagers,
offering a wide variety of betting lines such as Full-time
and Half-time spreads, Moneylines, Parlays, Teasers, Futures,
and many more. For a sportsbook based in North America,
the site gives special attention to soccer, since the
sport is such a bet-drawer in Europe. Other major sports
covered by Sports Interaction are:
• American Football
• Australian Football
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Gaelic Games
• Golf
• Ice Hockey
• Lacrosse
• Motor Racing
• Rugby
• Soccer
• Tennis
Betting Information
Despite the implication of its name, Sports Interaction
isn’t only about sports. First, it has lines for
non-traditional wagers such as the Lotto, Entertainment,
and Politics. Also, it also has good Casino and Poker
sites wherein a customer can enjoy all of Sports Interaction’s
services using only one account.
Currencies accepted by the site are quite a number namely,
Australian Dollars
Canadian Dollars, Danish Krones, Euros, Hong Kong Dollars,
Japanese Yen, Pounds Sterlings, Singaporean Dollars, South
African Rands, Swedish Kronas, Swiss Francs, and US Dollars.
Customer Service
Sports Interaction has a 24/7 Customer Support team ready
to provide support by phone, e-mail, facsimile, online
messaging (found on the Contact Us page of the site),
and postal mail. Although its technical service is relatively
good, there have been complaints regarding delayed payouts
to winning customers, which qualifies as negative customer
service.
Verdict
In terms of information provided that will help a bettor
to decide on a wager, the site is a very comprehensive
resource. It even lists its odds in European and UK formats,
aside from the usual US format. But these benefits for
customers are offset by lack-luster promotional offers,
a complicated “VeriSign secured” registration
process, and not-on-time payouts, all of which are ingredients
to test a customer. Unfortunately, patience is a virtue
which bettors normally don’t have.
