Usability, Look & Feel – a really cool site, especially if you like pandas!
There is a world of difference between the Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook and the online casino. The sports betting interface is extremely well-organized and clean cut, with a red, white and black color scheme that’s very easy on the eye. It’s also super-easy to navigate and even you are a rookie bettor; you would have no issues with placing any type of wager in minutes.
When it comes to the casino, it’s bright, glitzy and full of pandas! Whilst some of you might prefer something a little more traditional, we can assure you that the pandas are not intrusive to gameplay and we found the casino huge fun to play in.
How To Open a Royal Panda Account – nothing too tough here
When you sign up with Royal Panda, there’s a fairly standard list of information that you’ll need to provide first, which you must enter on the webform pop-up:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Permanent address
- Mobile phone number
- Email address
Your email address and mobile phone number will then be validated before you can continue with your registration. A random selection of new customers will be asked to provide personal ID and/or proof of address at this stage, for which instructions will be given.
The last stage will require you to select a payment method. The account details you provide must match the name and address used to open your Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook account.
Lastly, you must confirm that it is your intention to only use the Royal Panda site from within the confines of Ontario Province. Once the above steps have been completed, you are free to make your first cash deposit and start betting.
Royal Panda Mobile App – there’s more to come very soon!
At the time of writing, there is no dedicated Royal Panda Ontario app available. However, that should not be seen as a negative, there is an incredibly well-optimized mobile website that will cleverly adapt itself to any screen size. As there are native apps available for Royal Panda customers across Europe, we are sure they will also be made available for you in the not-too-distant future.
Payments – more than enough options for most bettors
Deposits
All deposits to your Royal Panda account must be at least $10, regardless of the payment method. At the time of writing, only a few payment methods are available, which might appear limited, but we found the same for other newly-launched operations, the Fitzdares Ontario sportsbook, for example. However, the Royal Panda casino has stated that additional payment options are due to be added any time soon.
- Visa or Mastercard (credit or debit) cards
- Interac
- iDebit
Withdrawals
Withdrawals are subject to the same minimum value of $10 and if you withdraw to any of the payment methods listed above, they are usually completed within 24 hours. You can also opt to withdraw to your bank account, but the withdrawal process is slower, with an average time of 2-5 working days.
Customer Service – fast and faultless
Any need to contact customer support may well be precluded, as there is an extensive FAQ section on the website, where you’ll likely find the answer to the majority of questions you might have about the site.
In the event you do need to speak with a member of the support staff, the preferred option is via live chat. There are no bots, you’ll be connected directly (and very quickly) with a competent and polite advisor. For those of you who prefer to talk rather than type, there is also a Royal Panda Ontario phone number available, but this dedicated line is not manned 24/7.
License & Security – no less than expected here
The Royal Panda Ontario online casino and sportsbook is registered with iGaming Ontario and holds a license issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. The terms of the licensing permit it to offer gambling services to anyone who is a permanent resident of Ontario, provided they are aged 19 years, or older.
As you’d expect from all of the best Ontario online gambling sites, security on this operator’s site goes above and beyond; obviously a subject that Royal Panda takes very seriously. As well as the usual SSL validated web pages, you’ll also benefit from 256-bit Extended Validation SSL encryption for all private data transmissions and financial transactions.
Rewards & Loyalty Program – look to the future
The Royal Panda Ontario online casino has a tiered loyalty program, aptly named ‘Loyal Panda’. Unfortunately, it is currently only available for casino players and does not apply to bets placed on the Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook.
The essence of the program is that you will receive points every time you play casino games, regardless of whether you win or lose. Loyal Panda points can be redeemed for casino-based rewards like free spins or items from the Loyal Panda shop, including tablet devices and Royal Panda merchandise.
There are four tiers to work through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. Once you have accrued sufficient Loyal Panda points, you will be moved up to the next tier automatically. If you’re aiming to get involved, then be sure to read up on the games that have the most points and the minimum stake you must place to receive them.
Royal Panda Sports Betting
Section temporarily closed.
There are in excess of 40 different sports on offer at the Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook, all offering multiple betting options. The sports betting markets with most options on offer are football, ice hockey, basketball and eSports, where you’ll find up to 50 choices.
Basketball
Football
Tennis
Volleyball
Ice Hockey
Esports
American Football
Baseball
Golf
This operator doesn’t just stick to the major leagues either, you’ll find plenty of wagering opportunities for lesser leagues, especially your favorite local teams.
This operator is well known across Europe for offering some of the best sports betting odds available and from those we checked, it looks as though the Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook is headed in that same direction. We were also pleased to see that this sportsbook regularly offers enhanced odds and not just for the top sports or leagues either.
Very few sports bets are subject to a maximum limit, but where a maximum bet is applicable, you will be notified if you try to wager more than the permitted amount. Otherwise, there is a $100,000 daily win limit, which we are sure most of you will find sufficiently generous.
Product Summary & Conclusion
After only being launched a very short time ago, we can’t say at this stage whether it will become the best sportsbook in Ontario, but we can say with certainty that the Royal Panda Ontario sportsbook is already headed in the right direction.
Overall conclusion – a good initial overview for a new Canadian operation
We were very pleasantly surprised to find that such a newly-launched operation already has such a lot going on and more great things are sure to follow. We loved the sportsbook interface and we found the panda-themed casino a whole load of fun.
In addition, all of the important aspects such as licensing, security and customer support are all firmly in place. We are also assured that there are more payment methods and a Royal Panda sports Ontario app coming soon. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending that you give this one a try.
