Responsible gambling

Only iGO-listed products are legal real-money online casino in Ontario. A Curaçao footer or a US app is not that licence.

• Legal age is 19. Have photo ID ready. KYC is expected before a first withdrawal.
• Match the operator on the iGO player-facing directory, not a lookalike .com.
• PlayOLG is the provincial crown vertical — different recourse than a private iGO brand.
• Self-exclusion and deposit limits are available on operator tools plus provincial RG programmes.
• Crypto, grey US, and offshore “.com Canada” brands are not Ontario-legal substitutes.

• ConnexOntario: 1-866-531-2600 · connexontario.ca — 24/7
• iGO: igamingontario.ca — player protection and the live operator list

Alberta’s licensed private iGaming market is separate from Ontario iGO. 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.
• 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.

• GameSense (AGLC): 1-866-332-2322 · gamesense.com
• AGLC: aglc.ca — licensed gaming in Alberta

PlayNow is the only legal real-money online casino for BC residents. Private iGO brands are not a BC licence.

• Legal age is 19. PlayNow is BCLC. Confirm you are on playnow.com.
• Ontario or Alberta URLs do not make a brand legal in BC.
• GameSense and BCLC RG tools apply.

• GameSense: 1-888-795-6111 · gamesense.com
• BCLC: bclc.com

Espacejeux is the only legal real-money online casino in Quebec. Private iGO casinos are not a Quebec licence.

• Legal age is 18. Use the Loto-Québec URL, not a mirror.
• French-language T&Cs on the official site win over any English affiliate rewrite.

• Jeu : aide et référence: 1-800-461-5420 · jeu-aidereference.qc.ca
• Loto-Québec: lotoquebec.com

UKGC + GAMSTOP. Confirm the live public register. An Ontario or .com sister is not the GB product.

• Legal age is 18. Affordability and identity checks are normal and can delay withdrawals.
• GAMSTOP applies to licensed GB operators. Do not treat a .com mirror as a GAMSTOP workaround.
• Debit / Faster Payments are typical. Credit-card gambling is banned in GB.
• Register: gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register.

• BeGambleAware: 0808 8020 133 · begambleaware.org
• GAMSTOP: gamstop.co.uk — national self-exclusion
• GamCare: gamcare.org.uk

There is no federal online-casino licence. Legal real-money iGaming is geo-fenced by state. Sweepstakes and grey .ag sites are not that licence.

• Legal age is 21 in the iGaming states we score. Sports-legal is not automatically casino-legal (example: New York).
• You must be physically in the licensed state. VPN play is a terms and often a criminal-adjacent risk.
• NJ DGE, PA PGCB, MI MGCB, WV, and CT compact products are separate files even under the same brand.
• Stake.us, Chumba, Pulsz and other sweepstakes casinos are not DGE/PGCB iGaming. They do not get a hop on this desk.
• State self-exclusion (for example NJ and PA) is stronger than an operator-only cool-off.

Fast on-chain payouts are not a regulator. Most crypto brands here are Curaçao-class, off the hop, and illegal to use as an iGO/UKGC/US-state substitute.

• Sign-up without ID does not mean withdraw without ID. KYC usually appears at cashout.
• We do not attach Visit/Get-bonus hops to crypto or grey brands.
• Licence claims on a footer image are not R until they resolve on a public register.
• Using these sites from Ontario, Alberta, GB, or a US iGaming state typically breaches both local law and the operator’s geo rules.

• If you are in a licensed market: Use that market’s help line (ConnexOntario, GameSense, BeGambleAware, 1-800-GAMBLER) — not the casino’s chat.
