Compliance notes
Age, licence, and advertising rules for this file. TrustFacts is not a regulator and cannot recover funds. Full set on Compliance.
TrustFacts is not a casino18+ / 19+ / 21+ by market
TrustFacts publishes independent Trust Gauge scores. We do not operate games, hold player funds, issue licences, or take bets.
- A review is not a recommendation to gamble and is not personal financial advice.
- Confirm the live regulator register and the operator’s current T&Cs on the URL you join. Pages here can lag a licence change.
- VPN or fake-location tools to enter a licensed market are usually a terms breach and can freeze funds.
- The Gauge is not for sale. Rank order is score-first.
- If play is no longer fun, stop. Help lines are listed per market below.
- International: Local emergency services if you are in crisis. This site is not clinical advice.
Affiliate / advertising disclosureApplies to Visit site hops
Some Visit site buttons may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up. That money does not set the Gauge.
- Hops attach at Trust Gauge 60+ when a hop URL exists. Below 60, no hop.
- Tracked hops use rel="sponsored". Untracked official URLs are placeholders until a tracker is pasted.
- Crown sites (PlayOLG, PlayNow, Espacejeux, PlayAlberta) often have no affiliate programme — the button still goes to the official URL.
- Welcome-offer copy on this site is a pointer. The operator’s live T&Cs win.
- Brands below 60 stay in the index without a hop. Sweepstakes coins are not a real-money cashier. An ROC hop is not iGO or AGLC.
Alberta — AGLC18+
Alberta’s licensed private iGaming market is separate from Ontario iGO. Legal age is 18. Same logo on an iGO URL is a different product.
- Legal age is 18. Confirm the AGLC / AiGC listed operator, not a grey .com.
- PlayAlberta is the provincial platform — not PlayOLG and not iGO.
- Private market launched 13 July 2026. New-market cashiers can still be rough; score the Alberta URL only.
- GameSense tools and provincial self-exclusion apply on licensed sites.
