This comparison is not finished. Figures for both operators still need verifying against their sites and the issuing provincial boards.

How to read this

Headline offer size is the least useful number on this page. A smaller offer with low rollover and no minimum-odds restriction is frequently worth more than a large one at high rollover. See rollover requirements explained.

Withdrawal time matters more than either. Both operators are licensed and both must complete FICA verification before a first payout, so stated times assume your documents are already approved.
