Where can I bet on sports in Manitoba?

If you want to bet on sports in Manitoba, three options are available.

Firstly, you can place a bet online via the PlayNow site run by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation.

You can also visit one of 300+ Sport Select retail outlets located all around Manitoba in gas stations, convenience stores, or grocery stores.

There are no more licensed Manitoba betting sites, but you can also bet using one of many offshore sportsbooks. Technically, they can’t operate in Canada without the required license, but the locals are not disallowed to make bets there. Please check our list of the top-ranked online betting sites in Canada.
