FunBet Sportsbook Review

Although not the most impressive range of sports bonuses and promotions at a sports betting site, FunBet still has plenty to offer in this respect. Take a look at the current offer in this sportsbook.

Welcome Bonus

To claim the welcome bonus offer at FunBet, you’ll need to make a minimum deposit bonus of $30, which is a bit higher than what we typically see in the industry. However, the entire welcome offer is not as high as we would like, but it makes sense for both beginners and experienced players. You can get a 100% deposit match up to $150.

To withdraw the bonus money, you’ll need to wager both the bonus and deposit at least 6x by placing single bets with minimum odds of 2.00 or multibets with minimum odds of 1.50 per selection. These are pretty standard terms in the industry if you ask us.

Keep in mind that the maximum amount that counts toward meeting the playthroughs (for each bet) is set at $75.

Weekly Reload Bonus

If you need to boost your account a bit, you can claim the weekly reload offer once between Monday and Sunday. You can get 50% match on your deposit up to $750, with the minimum deposit being $30. Keep in mind that you’ll need to contact customer support to claim this reload bonus as it won’t simply appear as an option in your account.

You’ll need to complete the rollover set at 8x for both the deposit and the bonus. Again, same as with the welcome bonus, you’ll need to place single bets with odds of at least 2.00 or multibets with odds of at least 1.50 per selection. This goes for either a win or a loss on the ticket, which is quite fair.

Cashback Bonus

If you jump on the losing streak train, you might want to consider the cashback offer that will get you back on your feet. You can claim up to a 10% cashback once a week, where your total amount of losses is defined as the total amount of bets minus the total amount of winnings. That does not include any bonus amounts credited, or withdrawals made through that period.

Other Promotions

There are two other promotions worth mentioning at FunBet sportsbook, with the first one, Enhanced Odds, valid only for single, multiple, and system bets on the 1×2 market. You can only make these bets before the start of the match, and you cannot combine this offer with any other at the sportsbook.

The other promotion becomes available every time you win a multibet with at least 3 selections and 1.40 odds per selection. If your bet is a winning one, then any extra winnings will be automatically added to the initial amount after meeting all the requirements. The combo booster multiplier’s size depends on the number of selections, with 3 selections bringing a 3% multiplier, and the maximum 21+ selections coming with a 100% multiplier.

VIP Levels

One of the key aspects when reviewing online sportsbooks is the sports VIP program. FunBet has a pretty standard VIP scheme, with five levels and different benefits. We appreciate the clear distinction between these levels and what players get when they progress through the levels. Here’s what that looks like:

Level 1

Level 3

FunBet provides a tailored sports betting experience for Canadians with major leagues and niche sports covered. You’ll definitely find something that suits your needs and wants among FunBet’s wide array of sports.

Betting Markets

You’ll find a diverse range of betting markets across various sports at FunBet sportsbook. These include standard bets that you’ll commonly find at multiple online sportsbooks in Canada, like moneyline, point spreads, and totals. There’s always the option for prop betting on both individual players and teams. Futures betting is also quite popular among sports bettors, especially for leagues like the NHL, CFL, NBA, and similar.

We always check whether a sportsbook offers live betting as most bettors like to keep up with ongoing plays and possibly win more as they watch the games unfold live.

Odds

There are competitive odds across the FunBet sportsbook, with average margins around 7.4%. The good news is that the platform often provides enhanced odds (remember the promotion we talked about above?) and daily boosts on popular events. You can see the odds on the site displayed in decimals, but you can change to fractional or American odds if you prefer those.

Featured Sports

FunBet covers a wide variety of sports to bet on—from classic hockey betting to niche sports like motorsports. When it comes to hockey, there’s the NHL league covered, as well as the Swedish and Finnish leagues. Basketball is also well-covered, with the NBA, NCAA, EuroLeague, and other international tournaments displayed. If you’re into soccer, FunBet makes sure to capture the worldwide phenomenon, including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundes Liga, Champions League, and more. You’ll definitely be left spoilt for choice at FunBet.

Canadian bettors will find a compact suite of features designed to enhance the betting experience. With user-friendliness in first place, the platform also puts focus on other features like live sports betting, bet builders, and cash-outs. FunBet isn’t a live streaming site, which is quite disappointing considering it is new and trying to prove itself among the competitors. Hopefully, the platform will fix those little issues and offer a well-rounded experience for Canadian bettors.

Live Betting

Even though a relatively new online sportsbook, FunBet has a decent selection of markets on which you can place live sports bets. Aside from the CA-favourites, hockey and football, you can also place live bets on basketball, tennis, soccer, and even niche markets like e-football, badminton, and volleyball. The interface is quite intuitive so bettors can seamlessly navigate between in-play events and upcoming matches. Odds are updated in real-time and there were no lags on either mobile or desktop. You’ll also note visual indicators that inform bettors of changes and shifts live.

Early Cash Out

Luckily, you can request an early cash-out at FunBet sportsbook. This is one of the key advantages of this Canadian online sportsbook, as it allows bettors better control over their wagers. If you’re looking to manage risks and add an extra layer of security to your betting practices, FunBet is all you need.

Currently, the platform offers a 2 Goals Ahead Early Payout promotion, allowing bettors to place single, multiple bets, system, and Bet Builder bets at the 1×2 market only before the start of the match. There are no wagering requirements, but make sure you go through the T&Cs to get all the nitty gritty details about this offer.

Bet Builder

Registered bettors at FunBet can create customised bets by combining multiple selections from a single event into one betting slip. Football fans will find this a great advantage, especially for personalised betting strategies. You’ll clearly see which matches support the Bet Builder, as the site has made them easily identifiable.

Canadian bettors are well-covered when it comes to payment options on FunBet. There is an abundance of Canadian-friendly payments, as well as a few crypto options for those bettors who prefer to stay anonymous while betting. The limits are quite reasonable, with both deposit and payout limits keeping up with our standards.

Deposits at FunBet

The deposit section at FunBet covers over 10 options, including both fiat and crypto payments. The sportsbook accepts CAD payments, so there will be no currency conversions or additional fees.

Withdrawals at FunBet

Although the payout options are more limited compared to the deposit options, there are still choices for Canadian bettors looking for fiat and crypto options. Any possible fees depend on your bank of choice, while the sportsbook does not apply any other fees. The interesting thing is that you can use Mastercard for deposits and Visa for payouts, but not vice versa.

Although you won’t find iOS or Android mobile sports apps for FunBet, you can still access the sportsbook on mobile. You’ll need to load the website in-browser, where you can login and have the same experience as on desktop thanks to the HTML5-optimised platform. We managed to access all sections quickly and effortlessly and not experience any lags when placing live bets. Mobile use at FunBet gets a thumbs up from us, so make sure you try it out on your smartphone or tablet as well.

One of FunBet’s main advantages is the user-friendliness of the platform. With dark colours and bright contrasts, the site is very pleasant to the eye and has a left-sided menu that holds shortcuts to all important sections. The bet slip is also conveniently placed, not getting in the way of your other operations on the site.

There’s the possibility of personalising your experience on the platform by selecting which odds format you want to see while betting. I also didn’t experience any hold ups while registering, the whole process went smoothly and quickly, so new bettors won’t have an issue finding their way around.

FunBet Sportsbook carries a PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) license, allowing Canadian bettors to access the site legally and safely even though it’s an offshore platform. All actions on the site are protected through SSL encryption, which ensures all bettors’ personal data and transactions are safeguarded.

We appreciate the availability of live chat support at FunBet sportsbook. It allows bettors to get immediate assistance when they need it, without waiting for more than a few minutes for a support agent to get in touch. For more complex queries, bettors can give the email support a shout at [email protected], but will need to wait a bit longer for feedback, approximately up to a day. There’s also a quite elaborate help centre with dedicated sections for each main category. The support is quite knowledgeable and responsive, so we appreciate that kind of approach to customer satisfaction.
