Under 19
In Ontario, you have to be 19 to enter a casino, so you can't go in yet. The same age applies to online gambling in the province.
You must be 19 to enter a casino in Ontario, including Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto in Etobicoke. Bring an original government-issued photo ID and a second photo ID, whatever your age.
Age & ID
Will they let me in?
Enter your birth year to see which age and ID rules apply at the door.
Age 25 · by birth year
19 to 29
You can go in at 19+, and staff will check your ID because they ID everyone under 30. Have two forms of photo ID with you: a secondary one and a valid, original government-issued one.
30+
The door requires both regardless, so bring a valid, original government photo ID together with a second photo ID. Photos or photocopies are not accepted.
What the door asks for
Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto keeps to 19, the minimum age Ontario sets for casinos. At the door you show two documents with your photo: a secondary one, and a valid original issued by government. Originals only: photos or photocopies of ID are not accepted. A picture of your card on your phone does not count.
One line from the operator's code of conduct sums it up: We ID under 30. If you are under 30, or might pass for it, expect staff to ask for your ID. Keep both cards on you.
Gaming floors and theatres have metal detectors at their public entrances.
Same rules nearby and online
Pickering Casino Resort, Casino Ajax and Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry use the same rules. Each one asks for 19+, an original government photo ID and one more photo ID, and each says: We ID under 30. The Great Canadian Rewards card works at all four. Online play follows the same age: in Ontario, the legal age for online gambling is 19 too.
