Political Betting Sites in Canada & Ontario 2025 - Election Odds

March 26, 2025 (Updated daily)

The writ has dropped. Canadians go to the polls on April 28. If you're minded to place a wager on the Canadian federal election, know that not every sportsbook offers political wagers. If they do offer political bets, they may not offer Canadian election markets - instead focusing on US ones. If you do find a betting site that offers them, are you sure they're not a shady brand that should be avoided? We only recommend companies that have gained their iGaming Ontario license. So even if you're in the "rest of Canada" and have to use an "offshore" version, you know you're dealing with a reputable brand. If you're looking to find a particular political betting market beyond the main "most seats" market, we touch on what's available down the page. There's some pretty interesting value for poll watchers.

Do all legal Ontario political betting sites serve the rest of Canada?

No. Many highly visible brands like BetRivers, FanDuel, theScoreBet, BetMGM and DraftKings are Ontario-only, with no "offshore" versions. So even if they did cover the Canadian election (most don't), they aren't an option if you're in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or any other province or territory. So if you want to bet on the Liberals or Conservatives to form government, or bet on Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre to be the next Prime Minister of Canada, which is really the same bet, we recommend three sportsbooks no matter if you're in Ontario or the rest of Canada: Sports Interaction, bet365 and Betway.

Looking to bet on who will be the next Prime Minister of Canada? You might need to reframe your mindset

This may be obvious to some, but perhaps not all, so we will note it here. The betting sites that we recommend will frame their Canadian federal election betting markets around the political parties involved - not the leaders of those parties. In other words, the betting sites will not frame the betting market question as "Who will be Canada's next Prime Minister?" 

If this is how you are framing things in your own mind, shift that mindset to their associated political parties. If you want to bet on Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre to be the next Prime Minister, you won't find that exact wording. Instead, you'll be betting on the political party that will win the most seats, either the Liberals or Conservatives, respectively. 

Technically, it's still a bet on which one of these gentlemen will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. It's just framed against the thing that actually defines that role - the political party that wins the most seats in parliament. So if you're focused on the person, shift to the party - it's the other side of the same coin.

Available Canadian election markets at our recommended political betting sites: There's more than you might think

All our brands have the basic election winner market. However, the most complete sets of Canadian federal election betting markets now come at bet365 and Betway. Sports Interaction has many markets, but you might find gaps with the more specialized markets where they may not have your province or party of interest covered. Here's what's on offer:

bet365, now has a lot of federal election betting markets. They have the main Canadian election market, which is simply called "Most Seats." This of course denotes both the winning party and by association, who the Prime Minister would be. bet365 has also added the "Government after Next Election" market, where you have options Liberal Minority, Conservative Minority, Liberal Majority or Conservative Majority. You can also bet on the party that will win the most seats in any of BC, AB, SK, MB, ON or QC. Bet on the popular vote winner (most total votes across the country). Finally, you can also bet on "Party Total Seats" where you bet on a given numerical segment of seats that a party will win. So if you think any given politcal party will win X number of seats, you might be able to find really interesting value. Visit bet365 >>

Betway offers the "Winning Party" market, for the party that wins the most seats, which by association is also a bet on the next Prime Minister. Betway has also now added "Total Party Seats" for the main four parties. They offer "Province Betting" markets, where you bet on the party to win the most seats within a given province. They also have a "Next Government" market with the four options of Liberal Minority, Conservative Minority, Liberal Majority or Conservative Majority. They also offer the "Winner of the Popular Vote" market under election specials, for the party that wins the most total votes across the country. Visit Betway >>

Sports Interaction currently has a lot of Canadian federal election betting markets. Bet on the political party that will have the most seats - the winner of the election, which of course denotes which party leader would become Prime Minister. Plus, they offer a sort of reverse of this, for the party that will have the second-most seats. Bet on whether the next government will be Liberal Minority, Conservative Minority, Liberal Majority or Conservative Majority. They also have a market for the number of seats that the Green Party will win, the same for the Bloc Québécois, and another for how many the Conservatives will win. Sports Interaction also has a market for the party to be the popular vote winner, meaning most overall votes across the country. Lastly, there's a market for the party to win the most seats in British Columbia. Visit Sports Interaction >>

Which of these Canadian political betting sites allow for the biggest wagers?

If you just want to bet a couple hundred bucks or less on the outcome of the Canadian election, any of these brands will take your action.  If you want to place a bigger bet, from our experience, both Sports Interaction and bet365 will accept more significant action.
