About BetWarrior

In the sports betting industry, reputation is everything. Statistically, a bookmaker is much more likely to succeed if it’s being run by experienced and reputable individuals. And there are few people more respected than Morten Tonnesen and Jose Del Pino, who helped propel PokerStars to an industry-leading position.

Well, those same two guys decided to treat Canadian bettors with BetWarrior. In 2019, the website became available throughout the country and people went mad over it. So, does this smoke mean that there is fire, too? We believe so. Let’s get to the nitty-gritty.

Bookies, take notice. This is how a UI should look like BetWarrior made an emphasis on creating an environment feel comfortable. During our review, we asked a group of people of different ages, with no previous sports betting experience, to test the site. The impressions were remarkable, to say the least.

87% of our test subjects were able to find their way and perform all the tasks we assigned them. Therefore, we believe that BetWarrior has what it take to accommodate everyone, from the bright-eyed rookie to the seasoned pro.

All the essential sports and markets are highlighted at the top of the page. The categorization of all sports and bets is also a great advantage of this bookie. Kambi is the software provider to thank for this masterpiece. They managed to avoid using any form of animation, in-site advertising, or anything else that might clutter up the site.

When you also consider that PokerStars is the epitome of UI supremacy, it’s no wonder that BetWarrior is one of the best Canadian bookies. Both in terms of traffic and overall atmosphere, they have what it takes.

Here’s where things get a little complicated. To deposit or withdraw money, you need to download BetWarrior’s MuchBetter app. They are advertising it as a secure way of adding/taking money to/from your account.

While we appreciate this sort of effort, it’s an extra step that messes things up. Why do William Hill, Bet365, and other big names refrain from using an extra app for transfers? They haven’t had any security issues, so our verdict is that the whole thing with MuchBetter is a bit gimmicky. Still, it’s not that hard to wire money. They could also add a few eWallets to the mix. Interac is great, but it’s not enough.

Customer support gets an A+ from us. Live chat is easily accessible, with agents being polite and knowledgeable on a wide array of topics. Most of them speak French, too, so Quebec bettors can feel comfortable while asking for help. BetWarrior did indeed think of everything.

Betting Features

When it comes to sports betting options, BetWarrior is one of the only Canadian bookies that have the ability to effectively promote both popular and niche sports. Live streams are available here and there, but the quantity could be larger. Most of the odds we tested and compared are on par with the industry standard. There are no apparent flaws, either.

Security and Fairness

BetWarrior currently has only one license - from the Government of Curacao. This is not a particularly respected regulatory body, as many lackluster sites have been able to obtain it. With that being said, BetWarrior is transparent about the audits they undergo, as well as the payout rate and RTP (for their casino section). All in all, BetWarrior is a decently secure site. Go for it.
