The regulated framework
Since April 2022, private operators can offer online casino and betting in Ontario if they register with iGaming Ontario and are regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Using a registered operator means consumer protections, dispute processes, and responsible gambling standards apply.
Who can play, and where
You must be 19 or older and physically located in Ontario to play with Ontario-regulated operators. Operators use geolocation to confirm location. This is a legal requirement, not a formality.
Choosing an operator
We focus on operators registered with iGaming Ontario and do not redirect to offshore alternatives. Compare licensing, product access, payment handling, and responsible gambling tools before creating an account.
Playing responsibly in Ontario
Registered operators provide deposit, time, and self-exclusion tools. Support is available through ConnexOntario. Set limits before you start and treat gambling as entertainment, never as a way to make money.
