Official Canadian gambling sources by province

Use the original provincial source for the activity and location you are checking. A company name, brand logo or international licence is not a substitute for local product evidence.

Private regulated markets

iGaming Ontario’s operator directory identifies the legal entities, exact sites and recorded products. Its player explanation distinguishes AGCO registration, an iGO agreement and the separate OLG service. Our inventory keeps all 84 listed websites, rather than treating brand, site and company counts as interchangeable.

For Alberta, start with the government’s current market explanation, AGLC registration records and the Alberta iGaming Corporation. Registration evidence and current operational-site evidence answer different questions.

Provincial service agreements

Read the OLG agreement, provincial PlayNow agreements through PlayNow, Loto-Québec online terms, Play Alberta agreement and Atlantic Lottery terms. Check age, residence, physical location and individual product restrictions.

If a source is unavailable, note its title and date rather than substituting an unverified third-party claim.

Use the source for the specific question

A directory entry does not establish a current bonus or withdrawal time. Those require current operator terms. An older page calling Play Alberta the only regulated site predates the July 2026 expanded market. Our editorial policy explains this evidence boundary, and provincial support links are available without opening a gambling account.

Responsible gambling

Gambling is paid entertainment with a risk of loss. Set a budget and a stopping time.
