Best betting promotions in British Columbia for 2023

If you want to claim a promotion at a sportsbook, you need to create an account with them first if you don’t have one already. You can do this by visiting their sign-up page and providing all of the details they request.

During this, you may be asked to provide documentation to confirm your name and age (such as your personal identification, driving license, or passport) and address (such as a financial statement or bill). The sportsbook may also want to confirm that you’re physically located in British Columbia via your mobile phone or IP address.

After you’ve done everything that is required, you should then be credited with your bonus. Make sure to check the T&Cs to see if there any rules or restrictions for using it (e.g. a bonus only eligible for a certain league or event).

If you have won money from your promotion, you can then withdraw it from your account (provided there are no wagering requirements as part of the bonus).

To withdraw money from a sportsbook, head to the cashier/account section and follow the prompts to place a withdrawal request. If you’re withdrawing money from the sportsbook for the first time, there may be additional steps and verification checks in order to set up the payment method for your account.

Bettors aged 19 or older in British Columbia can take part in single-game sports betting with PlayNow.com, which is Canada’s largest online sportsbook. The province also has Canada’s only retail sportsbook, located in the Starlight Casino.

At this time, only government regulated entities offer sports betting products to British Columbia residents, although discussions are ongoing to introduce licensed sportsbooks separate from government operation. There are also plans to expand their retail sportsbook presence into more of their 34 land-based casinos. Winnings on sports betting are not taxed in British Columbia.

British Columbia is home to the Vancouver Canucks, who play in the NHL. While they are one of the two oldest NHL teams to have never won the Stanley Cup, they have picked up silverware including three conference championships and 10 divisional championships in their history.

As their name suggests, the BC Lions are the province’s representatives in the CFL. The oldest professional sports franchise in British Columbia, the Leos have won six Grey Cups, last doing so in 2011. They play at BC Place, a stadium they share with soccer team the Vancouver Whitecaps, who play in the MLS. Basketball fans in the province tend to support the Toronto Raptors, who are Canada’s only NBA team.
