Mastercard gift cards, also called Mastercard prepaid cards, are a popular deposit option among Canadian bettors. Which sportsbooks accept various Mastercard gift cards can be hit and miss, and it can be difficult to figure out which Canadian online sportsbook will accept your Mastercard prepaid card.
If you have a Mastercard gift card that you want to use to bet on sports online then you’re on the right page. Below I will recommend two betting sites that accept different Mastercard gift card versions, outline when we’ve tested the different Mastercard gift cards at the various sportsbooks, and provide a simple three step guide you can follow to fund your betting account and place bets with your Mastercard gift card.

SportsInteraction.com is our recommended betting site for Canadians looking to wager on sports using a MasterCard gift card.
SportsInteraction.com is entirely focused on the Canadian betting market. They are licensed and regulated by iGaming Ontario to operate in the regulated Ontario gaming market, while also serving the rest of Canada.
Unfortunately in our recent testing (October and November 2025), Sports Interaction did not accept Joker MasterCard gift cards (they did accept Vanilla MasterCard gift cards). If you have a Joker MasterCard, then we recommend Betway.ca.
MasterCard Gift Card Options
The two most popular MasterCard prepaid gift cards in Canada are the Vanilla MasterCard and Joker MasterCard. Both are easily accessible in Canada and can be used to bet online. I’ve broken down the details of each prepaid card below including where you can buy them and which of our recommended sportsbooks accept them.

- **We successfully tested a Vanilla Mastercard deposit at SportsInteraction.com in November, 2025.
Joker MasterCard
- Referred to as Joker Prepaid MasterCard or Joker MasterCard gift card. Official website link.
