Best Apple Pay Betting Sites for Ice Hockey in Canada
All four operators in our Apple Pay + ice hockey sample — bet365, Betway, Unibet and theScore Bet — accept Apple Pay deposits and list NHL markets, and all four post a 0–24h published withdrawal window. On margin, Unibet is the tightest hockey book in our sample at 5.74% average, ahead of Betway at 6.09%, while Betway takes the higher best-price share (12.0% vs 8.5% of sampled markets). Every operator here is registered with iGaming Ontario, so this ranking applies to Ontario; availability differs in other provinces.

Why Apple Pay + Ice Hockey is a different ranking
4 licensed Canada books accept Apple Pay and actually price Ice Hockey. That intersection is the list — a site that takes Apple Pay but thin-covers Ice Hockey, or the reverse, is not here. bet365, theScore Bet, Unibet sit at the top of this cut.
Ice Hockey coverage on this page is judged against the leagues Canada bettors actually price: NHL. bet365 leads measured market coverage (9.6/10) and live product (9.4/10) among the Apple Pay books.
Apple Pay deposit is the entry ticket; the payout question is whether winnings can come back the same way. Published withdrawal windows among these 4 books: 0–24h. That is the Apple Pay × cash-out intersection — it does not appear on the sport-only page.
On sampled Ice Hockey prices, Unibet holds the best available line 13% of the time. Average margin across this Apple Pay + Ice Hockey cut is 8.3% — a different number from the unfiltered country ranking.
| Operator | Apple Pay | Sport coverage | Live betting | Withdrawal time | Best price share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | ✓ | 9.6 | 9.4 | 0–24h | — |
| theScore Bet | ✓ | 7.7 | 7.9 | 0–24h | — |

Which Apple Pay books cover NHL hockey
The intersection is narrow: only operators that list Apple Pay as a supported method AND run NHL markets qualify. From the supplied data, that is four books.
- bet365 — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa, Mastercard; features Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder and Live Streaming.
- Betway — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa; Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder.
- Unibet — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa; Live Betting, Cash Out, Bet Builder, Live Streaming.
- theScore Bet — Apple Pay, Interac, Visa; Live Betting, Same Game Parlay, Cash Out.
All four support iOS apps, so Apple Pay deposits pair naturally with in-app betting on iPhone. Minimum deposit is $10 across the board, and every book publishes a 0–24h withdrawal window.
Margins and best-price share on hockey
Two of the four operators have sampled hockey odds data. On average bookmaker margin — lower is better value — Unibet reads 5.74% across 201 sampled markets, Betway 6.09% across 191. That gap of roughly 35 basis points favours Unibet for straight hockey pricing.
Best-price share tells the opposite story: Betway holds the top price in 12.0% of sampled markets versus Unibet's 8.5%. In practice that means Unibet is more consistently competitive on average, while Betway more often posts the single sharpest line on a given NHL market. If you line-shop across both, you capture the better of the two on more markets.
bet365 and theScore Bet do not have sampled odds metrics here, so we rate them on product depth rather than measured price. bet365 leads the sample on sports depth (9.5) and live capability (9.4); theScore Bet scores highest on its app (8.8) among the group.
How this differs from the unfiltered ranking
Filtering to Apple Pay removes any book that only supports Interac or cards, and filtering to hockey removes sports-light operators. The result is a four-book field where the margin leader (Unibet, 5.74%) is not the highest-rated book overall — bet365 carries the strongest sports depth and live scores but has no sampled hockey margin to compare.
For a hockey bettor funding with Apple Pay, that means the value decision splits: Unibet for tighter average pricing, Betway for more frequent best prices, bet365 for the widest live and Bet Builder product, and theScore Bet if a Same Game Parlay on the NHL slate is your main use case.
NHL markets and live product
The competition that matters here is the NHL. Upcoming Canadian-interest fixtures in the data include Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montréal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks, and Boston Bruins vs New York Rangers.
For in-play hockey, bet365 and Unibet both list Live Streaming alongside Live Betting, which suits period-by-period NHL wagering. bet365's live capability rating (9.4) is the highest in this Apple Pay group. theScore Bet's Same Game Parlay is the differentiator for combining goalscorer, total and result on a single NHL game; bet365, Betway and Unibet run a Bet Builder for similar multi-leg construction.
Deposits, withdrawals and eligibility
Apple Pay handles the deposit side and is instant for account funding; withdrawals route back through the operator's cash-out methods, not necessarily Apple Pay itself. Every operator here publishes a 0–24h withdrawal window and a $10 minimum deposit.
All four are registered with iGaming Ontario under AGCO oversight. That registration governs Ontario specifically — it is not a Canada-wide licence. Other provinces run their own regimes through provincial lottery corporations and regulators, so which of these books you can legally use depends on where you live. Minimum betting age is 19.
How we rank
Our Canada ranking is computed, not negotiated. We sample live odds continuously across every tracked bookmaker and measure three things per operator: how often it holds the best available price, its average margin on core markets, and how many markets it actually prices per event. Those measurements drive the largest share of the score; licence status, payment coverage and payout latency fill in the rest. Commercial deals never move a position. This page re-weights the same checklist for Apple Pay · Ice Hockey: operators that miss the payment method or the sport coverage drop out, and the remaining scores emphasise the intersection — not a copy of the parent ranking.
AGCO and iGaming Ontario regulate online betting in Ontario specifically — not Canada-wide. Other provinces run their own regimes (provincial lottery corporations and regulators), so operator availability and legal status vary by province. Always check what applies where you live.
