Playing online in Ontario
Regulated online gambling in Ontario dates from April 4, 2022. iGaming Ontario runs and manages that market, and the AGCO, or Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, regulates it. Online, as in casinos, Ontario sets the legal age at 19.
The list of regulated sites is kept by iGaming Ontario at igamingontario.ca. Any site missing from it falls outside Ontario's regulated market. The provincial agency called the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has OLG.ca as its online site.
Links tagged Ad in this guide are paid: they go to an online casino partner, and the guide gets a commission. That partner may be swapped. You cannot place a bet or hold an account with the guide. Whatever site you have in mind, find it on the iGaming Ontario list before opening an account there.
