Kitchener is a great city for sports bettors. You are within driving distance of Toronto and Hamilton to see all of the best professional sporting events available in Canada, and also a short drive from three harness racing tracks and four Elements Casinos, all of which now have sports betting kiosks available.
Sports betting is continuing to grow in popularity in Ontario. The sports betting market is now regulated by iGaming Ontario giving Ontario residents a variety of reputable and trusted online betting sites to choose between when placing sports bets online. Below I have recommended three popular regulated sportsbooks for Kitchener residents, look at where you can bet on sports and horses near Kitchener, and provided a simple three step guide you can follow to place your bets online.

Our three recommended betting sites are licensed by iGaming Ontario to operate in the regulated Ontario betting market, and are popular among Ontario bettors.
Offline Sports Betting in Kitchener
Offline sports betting is available in Kitchener through the government run Proline sports lottery. Proline was the only form of regulated betting in Ontario for many years, and the brand-awareness has allowed it to remain relatively popular even with regulated online sports betting now available.
The odds on in-store Proline tickets are far worse than you will find at any of our recommended regulated sportsbooks listed above. Ontario residents interested in betting on sports should do so through a regulated betting site rather than through Proline in order to receive fair odds and avoid paying the significantly higher vig associated with Proline.
Kitchener residents also have the option of betting at four nearby casinos that offer sports betting kiosks. Three of these casinos also offer live horse racing and racebooks on the same property.
Grand River Raceway and Elements Casino Grand River
Located less than a half-hour drive north of Kitchener in Grand River, the Grand River Raceway has live harness racing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the racing season (June to September). The casino also offers betting kiosks allowing you to place sports bets offline.
Woodbine Mohawk Park and Elements Casino Mohawk
Woodbine Mohawk Park is located in Campbellville, which is about a 30 minute drive east of Kitchener. Woodbine Mohawk Park is home to the biggest standardbred (harness) horse races in the country. The track hosts live races four nights a week throughout the offseason (October to May) and five nights a week throughout the summer (June to September).
The attached casino also offers sports betting kiosks in addition to the typical casino gaming floor of slot machines and table games.
Flamboro Downs Harness Racetrack and Elements Casino Flamboro
Flamboro Downs is another harness track located just over a half-hour drive south-east of Kitchener. Flamboro Downs has live racing on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as offering simulcast betting 24/7. The Flamboro Downs casino also has betting kiosks available for sports wagering.
