Canadian Gambler’s Look at Sports Interaction Casino

Tweet

Sports Interaction is a rarity in the world of online gambling, as it was the first online sportsbook to be officially licensed and regulated in North America, and it remains as one of the few with that title today. It has been going since 1997 and over the years it branched out, creating a poker room and an online casino.

We have already discussed this site and its sportsbook before, but what about its online casino? Can Sports Interaction stand-up against the biggest and the best in this industry?

Legality

The key thing to remember about Sports Interaction is that there are no loop holes here. This is not based in Panama or Costa Rica, operating on the dubious belief that it’s okay to appeal to North American customers because they are abiding by the laws of the country in which they are regulated. Instead, Sports Interaction is based in Canada and regulated by the Kanhawake Gaming Commission, which is the only regulatory body in Canada that can handout gaming licenses of this nature.

Games and Slots

There are 77 slots in total here, including 12 progressive jackpot slots. This is not a huge number and is one of the smallest we have seen, but we have played on dozens of online casinos, if not hundreds, and many of these games are new to us, so that’s always a plus. The progressives including the theatrical Cinerama, the cool   Beach Life and the heist themed Safecracker. Some of the better slots here include The Three Musketeers and Iron Man 3, the latter of which we have seen on many other casinos. You can also find slots based on classic TV shows like The Love Boat, Baywatch and The Six Million Dollar Man.

Elsewhere, there are also scratchcards, games of keno, video poker and more. The table games include a number of roulette, poker and blackjack variants, as well as Red Dog and Baccarat.

Bonuses

The majority of the promotions on Sports Interaction are actually on the poker room, but there are promotions elsewhere as well. These include free spins, deposit bonuses and more, but they change more here than they do elsewhere and they are also not available directly on the website. Perhaps in their eyes, if you’re already on the website then you don’t need a free bet to lure you there. Whatever their reasoning behind this, you will need to go through an affiliate link like the ones on this page in order to claim a free bonus.

There are also promotions available to loyal members, but most of the focus is on new player bonuses. After all, as one of the few legal sites for North American players, Sports Interaction know that they don’t have a lot of competition and that they don’t have to spend a small fortune attracting new players.

Banking Options

The minimum deposit on Sports Interaction is $20 and there are a number of ways to deposit. These include credit card, check, money order, banker’s draft, wire transfer and instant bank transfer. There is also an eCheck option, but this is available only to customers in the United States. When it comes to withdrawals your money will be processed within 24 hours and you can opt for a check, an eCheck or a wire transfer. All of these methods come at a cost, and Sports Interaction expect the customer to cover that, so you will be charged $20 for withdrawals up to $1,000, but checks and wire transfers will be processed free of charge if they are for more than $1,000.

Customer Support

The customer support is second to none on Sports Interaction. This is all based in Canada and they are nothing but quick and professional at all times. There is a comprehensive troubleshooting section you can read through if you’re stuck and there is also a toll free phone number (and an international one), a mailing address and an email address, with the latter being responded to within just 4 hours. The best way to get in touch though, and the quickest, is via the live chat feature. Just click onto the “Contact” page and then the “Chat” icon on the top right.

Summary

As well as being one of the few legal casinos and sportsbooks in North America, there are also a few other things that sets Sports Interaction apart from the rest, including an extensive help section that includes tutorials on all slots, card games and even scratchcards. The lack of many bonuses is a bit of a letdown, but there are some of these available and Sports Interaction also have great customer support and plenty of banking options.

All in all, this is a 9/10 casino, but for those players struggling to find legitimate casinos, Sports Interaction is a Godsend.
