Scientific Games Brings Single Game Sports Betting to Canada

Sports bettors in Canada have reason to be happy after Scientific Games and the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) introduced a new range of products for their customers.

The products include real-time odds, future markets, and single-game sports betting. Scientific Games Lottery’s global sports betting business supplies sports services to numerous lotteries around the world.

We’re extremely proud of the hard work by both the WCLC and Scientific Games Lottery teams that helped us rejuvenate the sports betting experience in western Canada and introduce real-time odds, futures, and single-game betting. By integrating new sports betting functionality with our gaming system, we’re now able to offer players an experience they’ve never had before. By using the new ticket builder functionality found online at sportselect.com, players can make their picks using real-time odds to generate a QR code which they then take to a lottery retailer to purchase their ticket/ We’re thrilled to offer this convenient new online approach to building a betting slip while maintaining a more traditional method of building a ticket at retail for players who prefer it.
