Nova Scotia, with a population of almost a million residents is the largest of the Atlantic provinces and a big part of Canada.  Although the province is not home to a major professional sports team the residents are still hockey fanatics and the province has been put on the map thanks to Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon currently being two of the best players in the NHL.  The Halifax Mooseheads, one of the two Major Junior Hockey teams from the province (along with the Cape Breton Eagles), also won the Memorial Cup in 2013 with the help of MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin.

In Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation offers sports betting lotteries to Nova Scotia residents.  These sports betting games are great for beginning bettors, but those Nova Scotians who take their sports betting more seriously choose to wager through an online sportsbook, such as one recommended below.

Pro-Line Stadium Betting

Proline-Stadium is the brand under which the Atlantic Lottery Corporation offers sports betting games to residents of Nova Scotia.  The ALC does have a Proline Stadium website where Nova Scotians can register an account and place their bets online and selection slips are also available at all lottery retailers in the province to allow for offline betting as well.

The Proline Stadium online sportsbook is a step in the right direction for the ALC, but betting odds are still worse than at the other online sportsbooks.  If a Nova Scotian resident is going to take the time to open an online betting account and make a deposit I suggest choosing one of the sportsbooks recommended above in order to take advantage of the sign up bonus, frequent promotions, fewer betting restrictions and better odds.

Proline Stadium offers betting options that include Proline, Proline Fantasy, Proline Futures and Stadium Bets.  The Proline product does still require that Nova Scotia residents bet on more than one game at a time, which is known as a parlay bet, while the Futures and Stadium Bets products allow for single game wagers.  In order for your Proline parlay bet to win each of your selections from that betting slip must be correct.  The Proline Stadium information page goes into detail about each of the different betting options, uses examples to explain how to place these bets, and also compares the potential winnings with our recommended sites.
