Our Go-To Olympic Apps

Not all betting apps will offer markets for the same Olympic events, with some focusing only on popular ones in Canada, such as curling or men's and women's hockey.

Apps With the Best Event Variety

Not every app offers the same variety of events, and it can get annoying searching around for the different markets and downloading a bunch of different apps.

To help, I created this article listing the betting apps with the best variety of events that I will be using to bet on the Olympics!

Sports Interaction

A leader in Olympic event variety

Sports Interaction is a Canadian brand, so it didn't come as a surprise when I found that it had the best variety of Canadian-qualified events to bet on.

A number of these events are offered year-round, so I trust Sports Interaction to have more accurate odds for some events or athletes than the brands that only add Winter Olympics markets every four years.

Available Event Markets
  • Alpine Skiing
  • Biathlon
  • Cross-Country Skiing
  • Curling
  • Hockey - Men's and Women's
  • Ski Jumping
  • Olympic Medal Futures

Bwin

Offers most of these markets year round and it shows with its knowledge of the niche winter sports.

Bwin is another great choice with a solid variety of Winter Olympic events for you to bet on. They cover a handful of them year-round, like biathlon and curling, so I believe they have a leg up over some of the apps that only add these markets when the Olympics roll around.

Offering them year-round means Bwin offers more bet types and has better knowledge of the sports overall.

Available Event Markets
  • Alpine Skiing
  • Biathlon
  • Cross-Country Skiing
  • Curling
  • Hockey - Men's and Women's
  • Ski Jumping
  • Olympic Medal Futures

Bet365

One of the best all-around betting apps - tough to beat.

Bet365 usually offers one of the deepest Winter Olympic betting menus around. You’ll find event winners, country medal totals, overall medal table futures, and strong coverage for team sports like men’s and women’s Olympic hockey.

Head-to-head matchups and some live betting are common on bigger events. The app is a solid choice because it’s easy to navigate, loads markets early, and consistently has broad coverage across both major and niche winter sports.

Available Event Markets
  • Alpine Skiing
  • Biathlon
  • Cross-Country Skiing
  • Curling
  • Hockey - Men's and Women's
  • Ski Jumping
  • Olympic Medal Futures

PowerPlay

Beginner-friendly brand for bettors that are newer to Olympic betting.

PowerPlay has slightly fewer event markets than my top recommendations, but it is a great betting app that I find to be very intuitive and easy to learn and use.

Markets for some of these events won't be the traditional spreads and totals because they are individual head-to-head competitions without point totals. However, you will find plenty of prop markets for events like skiing, biathlon and curling.

Available Event Markets
  • Alpine Skiing
  • Curling
  • Cross country skiing
  • Hockey - Men's and Women's
  • Olympic Medal Futures

Bet99

Canadian brand with year-round coverage of top events

Bet99, being a Canadian brand, gives me confidence that they will cover the top Canadian Olympic events well. Canada is favoured to podium in curling, hockey, and some skiing events, and Bet99 covers these markets year-round.

With year-round coverage, they have a deeper knowledge of these events, and the odds may be more accurate than some of the sportsbooks that are only covering these events every four years or so. Bet99 would be my pick to use for these popular events, or at the very least, the one I would use to compare odds against other brands.

Available Event Markets
  • Alpine Skiing
  • Curling
  • Hockey - Men's and Women's
  • Olympic Medal Futures
