Sports Interaction
Sports Interaction (SIA) is a Canadian-focused online gambling site that includes a sportsbook, poker, and casino. It's been around since 1997, making it one of Canada's earliest online betting sites. The casino section includes a mix of slots and table games, some of which are branded for SIA. The site is straightforward and trusted, especially for sportsbook users who also dabble in casino games.
Bonuses & Promotions
Welcome Bonus
For the casino: 100% up to $500 CAD was a typical offer, with a 30x wagering on deposit+bonus. Sportsbook and poker have separate welcomes. The terms are fair and allow choosing which product's bonus to claim based on preference.
Ongoing Promotions
SIA is not heavy on flashy promotions. They have refer-a-friend bonuses, occasional slot or blackjack tournaments, and loyalty rewards in the form of cash bonuses for high-volume players. Their approach is more traditional and low-key compared to newer brands – focusing on odds boosts on the sports side and reliable service on the casino side.
Quick Info
Withdrawal Times
Very reliable – Interac withdrawals often within 1-2 days, bank transfers 2-5 days. They've maintained a good payout record for over two decades. Some manual processing is involved, so it's not instant but it's always completed. No withdrawal fees for standard methods.

Notable Features
Stability and simplicity: the site is not flashy but very functional. Excellent customer support catering to Canadians (including a toll-free number and support in both English and French). Also, integration of sportsbook means one wallet for everything. They offer a full downloadable poker client (on the iPoker network) which many competitors do not, adding to their comprehensive offering.
User Reputation
Strong in Canada. SIA is often recommended for beginners for its simplicity and trustworthiness. It may not have the biggest game selection by modern standards, but Canadians who have been betting since the early 2000s often have an account here. Brand loyalty is high due to zero scandals and consistent service. It's seen as a safe, if somewhat old-school, choice for both sports and casino play.
