However, there could be significant charges if you use a credit card as opposed to a debit card for your sportsbook or casino deposits via Apple Pay. All credit card payments to gaming sites from Canada are treated by card companies as "cash advances".

Thus from the moment of your transaction, you will be charged very high interest by your bank as per your card agreement, plus a flat cash advance fee, near $5. Compare this to perhaps a nominal flat fee, or free, if you use your debit card as the underlying funding source when you use Apple Pay. Keep this in mind as you move forward - use your debit card if you can when using Apple Pay for online sports betting deposits.
