Royal Panda Sportsbook Ontario

Ask your average Ontario sports bettor about Royal Panda, and they’ll likely draw a blank. That’s understandable – Royal Panda has only been around since 2014.

But despite its relative youth, this casino and betting brand has enjoyed significant success abroad, especially after LeoVegas purchased the company.

That success has led Royal Panda to set up shop in Ontario sports betting market, its tenth legal market. So what can you expect from this sportsbook? This review will break down everything they have to offer.

Royal Panda Sportsbook Ontario Review

When you arrive at Royal Panda’s homepage, its uncluttered design is the first thing you’ll notice. This extends to the sportsbook, which makes finding everything a breeze.

On the left-hand side of the screen, you’ll find every betting market that Royal Panda has. But if you’re looking for the biggest games of the day, direct your attention to the betting dashboard. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Check out the tabs along the top, as they allow for quick and easy navigation.

Royal Panda Sportsbook Betting App

In recent years, mobile gaming has taken off. That doesn’t surprise us, as smartphones and tablets account for nearly half of Canadian internet traffic. That’s why Royal Panda’s site is fully responsive. It changes according to your device, ensuring an optimal betting experience.

But how does Royal Panda’s mobile site stand up to the competition? Here’s what we like/dislike about it:

Pros & Cons of the App

Highly-organized, eye-pleasing design

30+ markets, including niche options like netball and Gaelic sports

Offers casino game integration

Not as well-known as the competition

Despite being lesser-known, Royal Panda Sportsbook offers much to mobile gamers. The clutter that plagues many sportsbooks isn’t present here – with a black-on-white colour scheme, this site goes easy on the eyes. Throw in 30+ markets, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy their time here.

But attracting gamers might be Royal Panda’s biggest challenge. As a lesser-known brand, they will need to work twice as hard to get noticed.

How to Download

The Ontario version of Royal Panda Sportsbook does not offer a mobile app. However, as we mentioned before, they’ve created their website with mobile responsiveness in mind.

But should Royal Panda release a mobile app, we’ll update this section with download instructions.

Sports Markets Offered by Royal Panda Sportsbook

Market selection is one of Royal Panda Ontario’s biggest strengths. In all, you’ll find over 30+ markets. Naturally, these include popular Canadian sports like hockey and football.

However, Royal Panda Sportsbook goes much deeper than that. For example, you’ll also find Gaelic sports, netball, and water polo markets.

But if you’re looking to bet on things like the Academy Awards or elections, you’ll be disappointed. Unlike some of their competitors, Royal Panda doesn’t offer entertainment markets.

Royal Panda Sportsbook Odds

You might be confused when you first land on Royal Panda’s betting dashboard. As a European-owned site, Royal Panda Sportsbook usually displays odds in the decimal format.

However, most Canadians are used to American (or Vegas) odds. Thankfully, you can change Royal Panda’s odds format by scrolling to the bottom of the betting dashboard. Once there, click on the drop-down menu and select “American.”

Now – how do the odds at Royal Panda Sportsbook compare to the competition? Let’s look at Game 1 of the NHL Western Conference Finals. If you wanted to wager on the Oilers to win versus the Avalanche, Royal Panda was offering +150.

However, that’s slightly behind FanDuel Ontario at +158 and nowhere near Bet365 at +170. As Royal Panda finds its feet, we expect they’ll close this gap. But take this as a lesson: always compare lines before booking a bet.

Betting Options / Bet Types

If you’re familiar with the basics of sports betting, then you know how moneylines work. But what about more sophisticated wager types?

Let’s dive into a few of our favourites.

Parlays

A bet that combines multiple (2+) selections. For example, you could bet on the Oilers, Lightning, and Celtics to win on the same night. However, all legs must hit for you to win your parlay. The more you add to your bet slip, the harder it gets. But the odds also rise, which substantially increases your profits.

Spread Bets

Are you getting tired of moneylines? Add a little spice by betting on the spread. Let’s say that in Game 1 between the Oilers and Avalanche, the Avs have a puck line of -1.5. If you bet on them, Colorado would need to win by two goals or more for you to win.

Conversely, as the underdog, the Oilers would have a puck line of +1.5. So if they lost by a score of 3-2, you would still win, as the +1.5 handicap would put you on top.

Props

A bet on a specific game event. For example, will Connor McDavid score a goal in the first period? If he does, you could earn a tidy profit – but that’s only the beginning. Most matches on Royal Panda have dozens of props, and some of them are downright wild.

Futures

A bet placed on a future event. For example, you could bet on the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup before the season starts. These wagers are often huge long shots, and they take a long time to settle. But, when they hit…

Royal Panda Sportsbook offers the following betting options:

• Moneyline
• Parlays
• Spread Bets
• Prop Bets
• Over/Unders
• Futures
• In-Play (Live) Betting

There’s no shortage of betting markets or sports at Royal Panda Ontario! NHL, NBA, MLB, you name, they’ve got it.

Banking Options

At Royal Panda Sportsbook, you can use the following deposit methods:

• Credit/Debit Cards (Visa/MasterCard)
• Bank Transfer
• Interac
• Paysafecard
• MuchBetter
• ecoPayz

For most, cards and bank transfers will be the most convenient payment method. Just enter your card details, click “submit,” and you’ll be ready to play.

But if privacy and discretion are important, you’ll want to deposit another way. Royal Panda won’t appear on bank/card statements if you use e-wallets (like MuchBetter) or prepaid cards (Paysafecard) – smart.

Customer Service

If you experience problems while using Royal Panda Sportsbook, no worries – their customer service resources are there to help.

Access their FAQ by scrolling down to the footer menu and clicking on “Support.” This page will give you two choices: open the Help Centre or a live chat session.

In the Help Centre, you’ll find answers to dozens of common queries. But if Royal Panda doesn’t cover your issue, the live chat client awaits.

However, there’s one big problem: currently, Royal Panda’s FAQ doesn’t have Canadian/Ontario-specific answers. But since they just launched in May 2022, we’ll give them a pass… for now.

Conclusion

The jury is still out on Royal Panda’s Ontario sportsbook. So far, we know that they have a fantastic selection in betting markets, we will have to wait and see what Ontarians have to say about this online casino and sportsbook.
