theScore Bet is built on theScore’s sports media app — originally a Canadian company, now owned by Penn Entertainment. It operates in Ontario through an AGCO-registered, iGaming Ontario-licensed entity covering sportsbook and casino. This review focuses on platform features only — no promotional offers are listed, per AGCO Standard 2.05.

“theScore Bet’s biggest differentiator is genuinely useful — having live scores, news and betting in the same app is something few competitors replicate well. If you already used theScore for sports news, this is a natural fit.”— Gonzalo Marín

Why don’t you show theScore Bet’s welcome offer?

If theScore Bet isn’t for you

  • PlayOJO — casino-only, no minimum withdrawal.
  • bet365 — deep sportsbook with live streaming.
