BetRegal Review

BetRegal Sportsbook Summary

Editor's Note:
BetRegal announced they have suspended all wagering effective immediately and are currently working on making arrangements for users to settle accounts as of April 9, 2024.

BetRegal was founded in Malta back in 2015. Before building up a strong business in continental Europe and South America, it initially focused on the U.K. market. It is licensed and regulated in Canada as a remote operator by the Curacao e-Gaming Division.BetRegal is a Canadian-owned company with a dedicated Canadian management team. That is a crucial difference between BetRegal and many other sportsbooks training their focus on the Canadian market. The BetRegal team understands Canada’s sporting landscape but doesn't do a good job taking care of sports bettors.

BetRegal has significantly ramped up its focus on the Canadian sports betting market in recent years. It is now an official sports betting partner of the CFL. Canadian Football Hall of Fame quarterbacks Damon Allen, and Matt Dunigan are part of the ambassador group, BetRegal Legends.

“With BetRegal’s Canadian roots, we can’t wait to collaborate and engage through the Canadian game with our fans across the country,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. BetRegal chief executive Michael Mirtl added, “As fellow Canadians, we are excited to apply our decades of experience in this sector to help educate Canadian sports fans on the sports gaming experience, with a particular focus on responsible gaming.”

BetRegal has also tied up a deal to become the title sponsor of the PGA Championship of Canada. Mirtl called it “an important partnership for us as we look to educate Canadians about online gaming and set the groundwork for our Canadian operations.” The three-year deal runs until 2024.

BetRegal Sports Betting Experience

The BetRegal website is owned and operated by Regal Group Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Malta. The sportsbook runs on high-quality software. BetRegal covers a vast array of sports in exceptional detail, and you will find hundreds of betting options displayed.

BetRegal Sports Covered

NHL Betting

Many Canadian bettors visiting the BetRegal sportsbook will head straight to the ice hockey section. It is very detailed, with hundreds of sports betting options on every NHL game of the season, plus lots of futures betting options. It also covers hockey leagues from Europe and international hockey.

NBA Betting

BetRegal is also a decent site for basketball fans. You will find more than 100 betting options on every Toronto Raptors game.

Other Sports

The most popular sports in Canada are covered in exceptional depth, including NFL, soccer, MLB, and winter sports. In addition to those popular sports, you will find betting on Aussie Rules, boxing, cricket, cycling, futsal, MMA, motor racing, rugby league, rugby union, snooker, tennis, and table tennis. All of those sports are covered comprehensively.

There is a dedicated eSports section incorporated within the BetRegal.ca site. It covers racing worldwide and offers a generous rebate on net losses. The eSports section spans CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six, Overwatch, StarCraft II, and Call of Duty.

There is a political betting area covering elections from North America, Europe, and Australia, plus novelty and entertainment markets.

User Experience

The sportsbook has a decent dark color scheme with grey text on a black background and plush gold and purple BetRegal colors. The sportsbook packs in a lot of information, and pages can feel cluttered. The overall layout is a little chaotic and feels outdated.

The process for placing a bet is straightforward. A quality feature of the BetRegal Sportsbook is the wealth of statistical information it provides. Click on the bar chart icon next to a game, and you will be presented with a vast range of helpful stats, which can enable you to make more educated wagering decisions.

Live Betting

BetRegal has created an average in-play betting section. The live betting section provides in-play sports betting options on thousands of games per week, and the choice of prop bets, fast markets, and alternative spreads and totals is solid. BetRegal does not currently have a live streaming service and relies on a basic live stat feed and infographics to keep you updated.

Quality of Odds

BetRegal offers average betting lines. The online sportsbook offers reduced juice betting lines on CFL games, a significant incentive for Canadian customers to register for an account.

Mobile Betting and Betting App Review

BetRegal provides its customers with an average mobile betting site. It somehow does not have a mobile app, but you can access the mobile-optimized site directly from your browser on any iOS or Android device. The design and interface are similar to the desktop site, but it also offers several shortcuts that speed up the navigation process.

Casino, Poker, and Other Gaming Options

The BetRegal casino includes hundreds of casino games from leading software providers such NetEnt, Microgaming, IGT, NextGen, QuickSpin, and Red Tiger. The slots have old-school 3-reel slots, the latest 5-reel video slots, Megaways, progressive jackpots, and branded slots such as Game of Thrones and Guns N’ Roses. It adds new games regularly, so the range always feels fresh and exciting.

You can choose from several different roulette, blackjack, and baccarat variants at BetRegal casino if you like virtual table games. There is a separate section for live casino games, mainly provided by market-leading supplier Evolution Gaming. The hosts are multilingual, and there are various salon privé tables for high rollers. Overall, this is a better platform for an online casino than a sportsbook. However, users have frequently questioned the integrity of their casino options based on the low chances of winning.

BetRegal Customer Service

BetRegal has implemented a customer support team ready to assist Canadian sports bettors from 8 am to 1 am CET, seven days a week.

Your funds and personal information are fully secured because BetRegal uses SSL encryption software. All the information shared between the website and the players, from their name to their contact details and debit card numbers, is fully protected. It’s also worth mentioning that all customer funds are kept in a separate account at the Bank of Valletta. This ensures that the funds are entirely isolated from the betting site’s funds, giving you an extra layer of protection.

Reputation

BetRegal is licensed by some of the world’s most demanding regulators, so it is safer than betting at an unregulated book, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good sportsbook. Their promos have some of the industry’s most misleading terms and conditions, and they’re clearly trying to screw over recreational sports bettors.

Our SBR Forum community has provided mixed feedback about their experiences with BetRegal. The sentiment is even worse at independent review sites such as Trustpilot, where BetRegal has a rating of 1.7 out of 5, with 85% of their 150 reviews being one star. They also haven’t bothered to claim their account at Trustpilot, which shows a lack of attention to customer care.

BetRegal is dedicated to driving customers to scam, high-risk casino games like slots. The sportsbook here needs some severe reimagining and friendlier terms before U.S. juggernauts like DraftKings and FanDuel wipe them out of business once they make their way into the Canadian betting market. Even some of the mid-level sportsbooks currently operating in the U.S. and planning a Canadian expansion such as PointsBet and theScore Bet will dramatically dwarf outdated books like BetRegal.
