Online casinos in Canada, province by province

The Criminal Code prohibits gambling except where a provincial government conducts and manages it. Every province therefore runs, or licenses, its own online gambling — and what is legal for you depends on the province you are in, not on Canada.

Who will not take you

Straight from each casino’s own restricted-regions page or terms. This is the part that decides whether you can actually sign up, and it does not track the law — an operator may refuse a province that licenses gambling, usually because it has not registered there.

Ontario7 refuse
New Brunswick2 refuse
Alberta1 refuse

The other 10 provinces and territories are named by none of the casinos we track. That means their terms do not single the province out — not that any given operator is registered there.

How each province runs it
