Fitzdares Closing Sportsbook and Leaving Ontario Market

There are a ton of sports betting sites for bettors to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a  sportsbook that is an Ontario sportsbook or not, there is a lot of competition and options. The Ontario iGaming market has seen sportsbooks come and go since the launch of the regulated market in 2022. Now, another sportsbook will exit the market.

Fitzdares will close at the end of March and stop taking bets a week before

Fitzdares announced that the sportsbook will be leaving the Ontario market and ceasing operations in Canada on March 31. The sportsbook is currently one of 33 regulated sports betting sites in Ontario and has operated in Ontario’s regulated market for about the last two years. Although the sportsbook will close at the end of the month, Fitzdares has given their bettors some time to prepare for the sportsbook’s close.

Fitzdares revealed key dates that their bettors should be aware of. The sportsbook will officially cease operations on March 31 at midnight. Fitzdares won’t take any new bets for the sportsbook or casino after 11:59 p.m. on March 24. March 31 will be the last day that bettors can withdraw money from their account. March 3 was the last day that bonuses and offers were issued.

How to get your money out of the sportsbook before it closes

Bettors won’t have the opportunity to deposit funds into their accounts after March 10 unless they are depositing money for withdrawal purposes. But Fitzdares will let bettors deposit $5 to top up their account if the amount of money in their account is below the withdrawal threshold. The minimum withdrawal amount is $5. So bettors with less than $5 in their account will need to deposit funds before they can make a withdrawal. Bettors can withdraw all the money in their account once their account balance is above $5. Bettors can make a deposit via debit card or e-transfer.

According to the sportsbook, withdrawals will still be processed within 24 hours. If you’re a Fitzdares bettor with any questions or concerns, the sportsbook has encouraged bettors to contact the sportsbook via the live chat or email. The live chat will be available 24/7. Bettors can also contact Fitzdares by email after the official close of the sportsbook on March 31.

Until the end of the month, the sportsbook is active and has a lot to offer old bettors and new bettors

Despite closing later this month, Fitzdares is still letting new bettors sign up with the sportsbook. Until March 24, the sportsbook is still open and taking bets. The sportsbook still has a lot to offer their bettors until then. Although no sports betting promotions are being offered and only one casino promotion is available, the sportsbook is offering specials and live betting. On Saturday, specials were offered for the NBA, NHL, and UFC 313. The specials offered were for same-day sports action. And the sportsbook may continue to offer specials until it stops taking bets on March 24.
