Pros, cons and verdict
Choose Sunbet for a simple layout, a sportsbook with its own racing section and a slot lobby led by Pragmatic Play. Look elsewhere if you want Skyward, Aviatrix or the original High Flyer. If you take the bonus, read its wagering table first: slots count 100%, crash games 5% and roulette or game shows 2%.
It is one of 8 brands we review licensed in more than one province.
