Who is behind it

Sports Interaction is a Canadian sportsbook and casino brand. Entain names it in its own brand list. Entain, formerly GVC Holdings, is based in the Isle of Man, and our data gives 2004 as its founding year. It also co-owns BetMGM in the US with MGM Resorts.

License and what it means for you

A Kahnawake authorisation is an offshore licence. Players get much less protection than under a licence from their own country or province, and no national self-exclusion register covers the site. In Ontario, Sports Interaction has an iGaming Ontario registration, which covers players in Ontario only.

Sister sites

Entain owns 33 other brands in our data, 30 of them active. They include Ladbrokes, Coral, bwin, partypoker, PartyCasino and Neds in Australia. Our data lists BetMGM as a separate joint venture. A self-exclusion at Sports Interaction may not cover them.

Fines and regulator actions

Our data lists 11 actions across Entain; none names Sports Interaction. The largest is a £585m deferred prosecution agreement from December 2023 over failing to prevent bribery in its former Turkey-facing business, under GVC ownership. In August 2022 Entain companies agreed a £17m settlement with the UK Gambling Commission over safer-gambling and anti-money-laundering failures. In January 2025 the Dutch regulator fined BetCity, an Entain brand, €2.65 million.
