There is no universal answer to your question. The answer depends on many factors, factor #1, where do you come from? Factor #2 what kind of action will you have?

Over the years we noticed many class A bookmakers acting pathetically, but in my view, here is a list of bookmakers and exchanges that will (most probably) not cause you any problems when you request a payment:
Bet365
Pinnacle
Betfair
WillHill

If you could answer the above questions, you might receive a more detailed and accurate answer.

Thanks for your response.

On my side. I’m from Canada. Plan to make bets from 100$ to 1000$-1500$.

Most of the time, bets on big market. Tennis, darts, american football, horse racing. These are my principal sports.

I think most of the time, all these bookmakers are correct, you just need to follow the rules with them and scrupulously check their terms and conditions. I have had some serious problems with the bookie vip-ibc at my start of betting. I even rated them as scams at some point. But after seeing how they operate, I could easily avoid all their "extra" fees and so far everything is going fine.
That's my point of view on these bookies. I think they are regulated and to some point can't act as they wish.

Could you tell us your approach to avoiding their hidden "extra" fees? There is an opportunity for another star to copy their approach.
Thank you.

Could you provide a list of licensed bookmakers in Canada? We will then filter out Go/NoGo.
Tennis is a market that could trap you in illiquid markets and especially when something fixed or dodgy (fund passing) is going on.
Horse racing is a recipe for catastrophe if you are arbing or value betting. Bookmakers limit accounts after 1-2 sharp bets, no matter if the height of the bet is just one...digit.
Not sure about darts. American football is safe.

Licensed books differ between provinces in Canada. You will have to check which are legal in your province.

As for the list of bookmakers available in Ontario - these are the ones I am currently aware of:

Bet365 / Pinnacle / Betway / Betvictor / Unibet / Caesars / DraftKings / FanDuel / 888Sport / Bwin / BetMGM / BetRivers / Pointsbet / LeoVegas / Betano

There are others but I don't know much about their services e.g

Royal Panda / Northsar Bets / Coolbet / Bet99 / Rivalry / and more

This is a very interesting list. Being regulated by Canada adds an extra layer of security and thus these bookmakers would not treat you like they do with some European bettors.

In my view, Bet365 and Pinnacle are undoubtedly the best choices you have.
The rest of the list, Betway to Betano, looks good, and they can all be used for smart betting, however they might act strangely if they think you have a killing edge. Still, not sure how they treat Canadians and if their policy is different there.
I have no opinion for the 3rd team of bookmakers, Royal Panda to Rivalry.

@ Yjsr28,
Excuse me, can I ask my question again? Please inform forum readers of your approach to avoid hidden costs.
Thank you.
