Frequently Asked Questions

What is the puck line in hockey betting?

The puck line is hockey’s handicap bet, and it is almost always set at 1.5 goals. A favourite at -1.5 must win by two goals or more for a bet on it to win. The underdog at +1.5 wins if it wins outright or loses by a single goal. Because most NHL games are close, the puck line prices differ a lot from the moneyline. Our Puck Line Betting page walks through it.

How do NHL totals handle overtime and shootouts?

A total is a bet on whether the combined goals finish over or under a set number, commonly in the range of 5.5 or 6. Most sportsbooks count regular-season overtime goals toward the total, but a shootout is usually settled differently, so the house rules matter. Empty-net goals count too, which is why a late goal can flip a total. Read our Hockey Totals page before you bet.

What is the difference between a hockey moneyline and the puck line?

A moneyline is a bet on who wins the game, with no margin involved, and in the NHL it usually includes overtime and the shootout. The puck line adds a 1.5-goal handicap, so the margin matters as well as the winner. As a hypothetical example, a favourite at -200 implies about 66.7%, and the puck line on the same team will carry a very different price. See our NHL Betting page.

Can I bet on a hockey game while it is being played?

Yes, in-play markets let you bet after the puck drops, and the lines move with the score, penalties and time left. Prices update quickly and markets can be paused after a goal or a major penalty, so a bet you meant to place may be unavailable a moment later. Our Live Hockey Betting page explains how in-play markets behave and how to keep a session under control.

Can I bet on the Stanley Cup at Rexbet?

Futures markets on the Stanley Cup are common in hockey betting, but which ones are open depends on the time of year and on the sportsbook, so check Rexbet directly rather than relying on this guide. A futures bet ties up your stake until the final is decided. Our Stanley Cup Odds and Futures page explains how those prices are built.

How old do I need to be to bet on hockey at Rexbet?

You must be 19 or older, or 18 or older in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Rexbet is an offshore operator and is not regulated by a Canadian province, so provincial player protections do not apply in the same way. Set a deposit limit first, and see our Responsible Gambling page for Canadian support lines.

Hockey Betting in Canada, Explained Plainly

Hockey is easy to love and surprisingly hard to bet well. Games are low scoring, a single bounce can decide one, and a late empty-net goal can turn a winning ticket into a loser. This site is an independent guide for Canadian readers who want those details before they place a hockey bet at Rexbet. It is not the operator, and it is paid a commission if you register through its links, which the About page explains.

Start With the NHL Card

Every NHL game comes with three core markets: the moneyline, the puck line and the total. NHL betting shows how they relate, why overtime and the shootout matter, and what usually moves a line on game day.

Learn the Puck Line

The puck line is a 1.5-goal handicap, and its prices look nothing like the moneyline. Puck line betting covers how -1.5 and +1.5 settle, and the article how the puck line works adds worked examples.

Totals and Overtime

In a sport where five goals is a busy night, every goal counts. Hockey totals explains over/under lines, and NHL totals, overtime and shootout rules goes through what counts and what does not.

Betting While the Game Is On

Lines move with every penalty and goal once the puck drops. The live hockey betting page explains in-play markets, why they get suspended, and how to avoid chasing a bet you missed. For the playoff view, read Stanley Cup odds and futures and the Stanley Cup futures betting guide.

Before You Bet

Rexbet is an offshore operator and is not regulated by a Canadian province, so provincial player protections do not apply in the same way. Players must be 19 or older, or 18 or older in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Set a deposit limit first, and if betting stops feeling like entertainment, the responsible gambling page lists Canadian help lines. More walkthroughs are in the hockey guides.
