Best betting promotions in Northwest Territories for 2023

To claim a promotion at a sportsbook, you first must set up an account with them. This is generally quick and easy to do, and can be completed by filling in their sign-up page with all of the details they request.

This may include proof of your name and age by submitting documentation such as your personal ID, driving license, or passport, and something to prove your address, for instance a financial statement or bill. The sportsbook may also want to confirm that you’re physically located in the Northwest Territories via your mobile phone or IP address.

One you’ve done everything needed; your account will then be rewarded with the bonus. Before you rush to use it, it is advisable to read through the T&Cs for the promotion to check if there is anything you need to know beforehand (e.g. if it can be only used on certain leagues and/or events).

If you’ve used your promotion and won money from it, you then have to option withdraw it from your account (provided you have completed all the wagering requirements).

Go to the sportsbook’s cashier/account section and follow the instructions to place a withdrawal request. If this is the first time you’re withdrawing money from the sportsbook, this may be followed by more steps and verification checks required to integrate the payment method with your account.

Single-game sports betting has been legal in the Northwest Territories to residents aged 19 years or older since November 2021, but they are only able to place bets through the SportSelect brand at selected retail locations, with no online options currently available.

There has been no discussion about expanding sports betting options to online sportsbooks, meaning it is likely that you will be required to place sports bets in person for the foreseeable future. Winnings on sports betting are not taxed in the Northwest Territories.

There are no teams based in the Northwest Territories that compete in the major leagues, nor the CFL. The nearest CFL team are the Edmonton Elks, who are the second most successful team in the league’s history with 14 Grey Cups, including five straight from 1978 to 1982.

For similar reasons, hockey fans in the Northwest Territories tend to follow the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, who can boast five Stanley Cups all won in a seven-year period from 1984 to 1990. Alternatively, some choose to align with the Vancouver Canucks, who are yet to win a Stanley Cup but are still well-supported. As Canada’s only teams in MLB, baseball fans in the province also tend to follow the Toronto Blue Jays.
