TheScore Casino Review

Everyone knows theScore's sportsbook. Almost nobody clocks that the casino attached to it is, by the market's own arithmetic, the bigger business: online casino takes roughly 85 percent of Ontario's igaming handle, and Penn Entertainment reads its own numbers the same way, reporting six in ten sports customers crossing to casino play and casino users growing far faster than bettors. So in April 2025 the casino got its own front door, a standalone theScore Casino app on the same platform and login as the book we reviewed separately. We registered through that shared account, played the Penn-built exclusives and the Blue Jays table, and read the one clause occasional players genuinely need to know.

Licensing & Safety

theScore Casino is registered with iGaming Ontario under AGCO oversight: our team confirmed licence OPIG1294141, status Active, held by Score Media and Gaming, the Penn Entertainment company whose registration also carries Hollywood Casino in this province. The casino's own complaint file is empty; trust scoring sits above average at 7.7.

The operator-level disclosure carries over from our theScore Bet review and bears repeating here in brief: a C$105,000 AGCO penalty in October 2025 for failing to intervene with a patron who wagered C$2.5 million over eight months. Monitoring failure, not game fairness, not player funds, and the remediation that follows such penalties tends to leave the tools sharper than at operators never tested. Full treatment in the sportsbook review; the entry belongs in both.

Key Facts at a Glance

Payments

Banking covers the Canadian essentials, Interac e-Transfer, both card networks, PayPal, Apple Pay and bank transfer, in CAD with no crypto, and the shared wallet does quiet work here: a player already verified at theScore Bet walks into the casino with identity and funds carried over, no second onboarding. Interac remains the practical fast lane, as it is across the Penn stable.

Payout Rate (RTP)

The reported average sits around 96%, the mainstream figure, offered as reported rather than promised. A library this slot-heavy swings widely game to game, the 250-plus jackpot titles most of all, and the per-game numbers inside each title are the ones that touch your session.

Games

The floor runs roughly 2,200 titles from 33 studios, more than 1,400 slots, 250-plus jackpots, and a 180-table live room on Evolution and Ezugi, one of the deeper benches in the province, as we noted when reviewing its sportsbook sibling. The heavyweights are all stocked. The reasons to pick this lobby over an identical-sized rival are the two things rivals cannot legally copy.

What Nobody Else Can Deal

First, Penn Game Studios: Penn builds its own titles in-house, and they live only on Penn properties, a genuine exclusive shelf in a market where most floors stock the same hundred hits. Second, Blue Jays Blackjack, the live table born of theScore's exclusive Toronto Blue Jays partnership, the only MLB-branded felt in the country. Wrapped in the sports-data integration the app is famous for, this is a casino aimed at Canadian sports fans with a precision no generic lobby manages.

The Two-Door Strategy

The casino's independence is recent and deliberate. For three years it lived as a tab inside theScore Bet; the April 2025 split into a standalone app followed the market's own arithmetic, casino dwarfing sports in provincial handle, and Penn's discovery that its casino users were multiplying faster than its bettors. The architecture since is two doors into one engine: the sports app keeps its casino tab for crossover players, while the standalone app serves players who never cared about the parlay in the first place and resented launching a sportsbook to reach the slots. Small decision, real respect for how people actually play.

The Fine Print

One clause earns the bold type: balances void after under two years of inactivity, with dormant fees biting from around the twelve-to-eighteen-month mark, among the shortest windows in the province, as we flagged on the sportsbook side. The fix costs nothing, log in occasionally or withdraw fully, but the clause punishes exactly the casual player most likely never to read it, which is why we keep printing it. The rest of the contract reads reasonably.

Mobile

Mobile is not a channel here; it is the species. The standalone casino app and the casino tab inside theScore Bet share one login, and the build quality matches the company's app-first DNA, fast lobby, clean cashier, our sessions without a stumble.

Support and Player Reputation

Chat and email span both halves of the account, so one conversation covers a parlay question and a withdrawal question alike. The casino's own reputation file is spotless; the operator's 2025 penalty is the asterisk we have already filed where it belongs.

Responsible Gambling

The provincial toolkit ships in full, and post-penalty, under regulatory supervision, this operator's monitoring is likely tighter than most that were never caught. Set limits at signup and let the dormancy clause work for you instead of against you.

Who theScore Casino Suits

The millions already living in theScore's apps are the obvious audience, and for them the case is close to automatic: same login, exclusive Penn games, Blue Jays felt, a deep live room. The wrong fits: balance-parkers facing the dormancy window, crypto users, and francophone players awaiting French service.

Verdict

theScore Casino is what happens when a sports-media company discovers its quiet half earns the louder living: a genuinely deep floor with two exclusives nobody can copy, stitched into an app Canadians already check daily. The short dormancy window and the operator's disclosed penalty are the honest weights on the scale. For the sports-first player, this remains the most natural casino account in the province, now with its own front door.
