Sports Betting

Sports Betting at Rexbet

Rexbet runs a full sportsbook alongside its casino and live casino, covering the leagues Canadian bettors follow most — hockey, basketball, football, baseball, soccer and tennis — plus a range of market types from a straightforward moneyline to live, in-play betting once a game is underway.

Leagues Covered

The sportsbook’s coverage leans toward the leagues with the biggest Canadian audience: the NHL, the NBA, the CFL and NFL, and MLB, alongside major international soccer leagues and tournaments and the main tennis tour events. Coverage depth shifts with the calendar — the market list for a league is naturally deeper during its regular season and playoffs than in its off-season.

Moneyline

A moneyline bet is the simplest market: you’re picking which team wins the game outright, with no point spread involved. Odds reflect how likely each side is considered to win, so a heavy favourite pays less per dollar staked than an underdog.

Puck Line and Point Spread

Hockey’s version of a point spread is the puck line, typically set at 1.5 goals — you’re betting on a team to win by more than that margin, or to lose by less than it (or win outright). Basketball and football use a point spread instead, usually a wider number that shifts with team strength; the mechanic is the same as the puck line, just measured in points rather than goals.

Totals

A totals bet — sometimes called over/under — is a bet on the combined score of both teams, not on who wins. The sportsbook sets a number, and you bet on the final combined score landing over or under it, regardless of which team actually wins the game.

Player and Game Props

Prop bets cover a specific outcome within the game rather than the final result — a player’s point or goal total, which team scores first, or the total number of a specific event in the match. Props tend to carry more variance than a moneyline or spread bet, since they hinge on one specific thing happening rather than the overall result.

Live and In-Play Betting

Once a game starts, live betting lets you bet on markets that update in real time as the game develops — odds shift with the score, momentum and time remaining, so a market available at kickoff or puck drop can look very different by the third period or fourth quarter. Live markets typically include an updated moneyline, an in-game total, and sometimes next-scoring-play props.

Single-Game Betting in Canada

Single-game sports betting — betting on one event’s outcome rather than being required to bundle several games into a parlay — became legal across Canada in August 2021, and is now the standard way sportsbooks like Rexbet’s operate. You can still combine bets into a parlay if you want to, but it’s no longer a requirement to place a sports bet at all.

Getting Started

The sportsbook runs from the same Rexbet account as the casino and live casino, so switching between a slot session and a game on the board just means switching tabs.
