After spending decades broadcasting some of the biggest sporting events – such as the Super Bowl and World Series – FOX Sports decided to make a move into the sports betting world. FOX Bet launched in 2019 – combining the power of a massive sports network with a fun online sportsbook. Even though Canadians cannot use the FOX Bet online sportsbooks, they can learn about the site has to offer in our FOX Bet review.

  • Well known name in North American sports
  • Attractive and functional website
  • Great promotions
  • Offers free contests through FOX Bet Super 6
  • Point out something LACKING, on one line

FOX Bet Bonus

New users from eligible states can receive a risk-free bet as a welcome bonus when they join FOX Bet.

FOX Bet Canada Sports Betting

When people see the name FOX, they typically think of the television station and sports network – not sports betting. But after partnering up with The Star Group – the sports network launched FOX Bet in 2019. With a massive connection to the sports world – especially the NFL and MLB – the FOX Bet sportsbook is quickly becoming a significant player in American sports betting.

FOX Bet is a good option for new and experienced bettors. They post odds early – great for sharp punters – and allow you to tweet custom bets – great for more casual players. While the site is missing some features and markets you find on the best Canadian sportsbooks, the early returns on FOX Bet are pretty good.

Maybe the biggest knock on FOX Bet is the site’s welcome bonus. While the terms of the risk-free bet welcome bonus are nearly identical to many other sites, the match (up to $500) is half what some other sites offer.

Aside from the welcome bonus, FOX Bet offers a good combination of promotions and rewards. They provide a robust collection of daily bet boosts – sometimes as high as 15x the initial odds. FOX Bet also offers those who are eligible a Stars Rewards program. Bettors in the program receive Stars Rewards for every dollar they wager.

They can use the rewards to unlock personalized chests with prizes in them (such as free bets, rebates, and other prizes). Even if other sportsbooks offer better rewards programs, the fact FOX Bet’s is personalized gives a boost to their rating.

FOX Bet runs free contests through a separate site called FOX Bet Super 6. Residents from all 50 states excluding Washington – can compete in daily, weekly, and season-long contests to win cash prizes.

The team at FOX Bet did an excellent job designing the sportsbook’s website. It is crisp, easy to navigate, and not busy. It is easy to learn the site, especially with the addition of a calendar tab – that shows all upcoming games in a league that have odds open for betting.

4.5/5

Although it does not break any new ground, the overall live betting experience at FOX Bet is reliable, functional, and fun. It is easy to find in-play betting options and the odds FOX Bet offers are comparable to other American sportsbooks. Live betting works well on the desktop website and mobile devices.

FOX Bet could undoubtedly improve their customer service. You can visit a Canadian sportsbook such as PowerPlay Sports and find customer support through a 24-hour live chat, a toll-free phone number, Facebook, and email. At FOX Bet, you can only get help through email. The lack of options can be frustrating, especially for new users.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

1.75/5

FOX Bet does a great job offering Americans odds on a wide range of sports. While they have a more extensive selection of odds on the most popular North American sports, you can still find odds and markets on more obscure sports such as darts and cycling.

As is the case for all sportsbooks in the United States, some markets – such as college sports, amateur sports, and eSports – are unavailable in specific regions.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

4/5

FOX Bet offers the most popular ways in the United States to make deposits. That includes major credit cards, prepaid cards, Skrill, PayPal, and ECheck. However, not every method used for deposit is available for withdrawal. If you use a credit card to make deposits, you will need another method to take out your winnings. PayPal is a popular option as it is secure and available in every state.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

3.75/5

FOX Bet’s mobile app (and mobile website) works great. Everything available on the desktop site is also available on your mobile device. The design of the mobile app is sleek and functional – meaning new and experienced bettors should have no issue using it.

Andrew Wilson

Andrew Wilson was born in Toronto, Canada, and he is a passionate Toronto sports fan, spending much of his free time following, watching and occasionally attending live sports matches. While he loves his Toronto teams, his biggest sports passion is the National Football League. Have spent his youth playing football, the NFL elicits all the emotions. Growing up, Andrew’s favourite player was Peyton Manning and, even since he left the Indianapolis Colts (and retired from the NFL), his NFL allegiance remains in Indiana. Andrew’s background does not come from journalism, but the numeric/statistical side of the sporting world. Graduating from the University of Guelph in 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Commerce, Andrew continued his education at George Brown College in Toronto, taking a postgraduate degree in Analytics. During his time at George Brown College, Andrew began to link his passion for sports and flare with numbers to learn more and even tell a story. The first topic he ever wrote about was the greatest Monday Night Football fantasy performances. From there he was hooked and teamed up with Canada Sports Betting, contributing his first article, a Toronto Blue Jays season preview, in March of 2015. When it comes to betting, much of Andrew’s attention is on the four major North American leagues. However, when big events come around (such as March Madness, which he always books the first two days for) and the FIFA World Cup, he knows where to focus his money and energy.
