Ontario operates Canada’s only open licensed market for online betting. This page lists the sportsbook brands registered with iGaming Ontario and explains how to verify that a sportsbook you are considering is part of that regulated market.
01 / At a Glance
02 / Purpose
This is a verification reference, not a ranking. A brand’s inclusion in the directory below means it is listed in Ontario’s regulated market under iGaming Ontario. It does not mean Canadian Betting Sites recommends, endorses, or rates that brand against any other.
Use this page to check whether a sportsbook you are considering is part of Ontario’s regulated framework, and to understand how that framework is structured.
03 / Framework
Ontario operates Canada’s only open licensed market for online betting. Three bodies define how that market works.

Market Manager
iGaming Ontario is a subsidiary of AGCO. It manages the open market and enters into operating agreements with registered private operators. A brand is part of Ontario’s regulated open market when it is both registered with AGCO and has signed an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.
Crown Operator
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation operates OLG.ca, a Crown-owned online platform. OLG predates the open market that launched in April 2022 and continues to operate alongside the registered private operators. OLG.ca is regulated separately and is treated separately on this page.

05 / Directory
The brands below appear on iGaming Ontario’s authorised operator list as of this page’s last update. Entries are alphabetical. The category column distinguishes brands whose umbrella offering commonly includes casino games from those that focus on sportsbook.

06 / Note on OLG
OLG.ca is operated by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the provincial Crown corporation. It is fully legal in Ontario but operates differently from the private operators registered with iGaming Ontario.
OLG predates the open market that launched in April 2022, and it continues to offer online sports betting, casino games, and lottery products to Ontario residents under separate provincial authority.
OLG.ca is not listed in the directory above because it is not a private operator registered through iGaming Ontario. It is a Crown platform, and the directory’s scope is the iGaming Ontario operating-agreement list.
07 / Disclaimers
Inclusion in the directory means a brand is listed with iGaming Ontario as of this page’s last update. Nothing more. In particular, this page is:
For binding answers about what is permitted in Ontario, the AGCO is the authoritative source. For the current registered-operator list, iGaming Ontario is the authoritative source. The broader Canadian legal framework, including the role of the Criminal Code and Bill C‑218, is covered on the Laws and Regulations page.
08 / Common Questions
No. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) operates OLG.ca as a Crown-owned platform under separate provincial authority. iGaming Ontario, by contrast, manages the open licensed market and the private operators that have signed operating agreements with it. AGCO regulates Ontario gambling overall, but OLG and the iGaming Ontario operators are two distinct tracks within that framework. On this page, the directory covers the iGaming Ontario track; OLG is covered in its own section above.
This directory lists the private sportsbook brands registered with iGaming Ontario as of this page’s last update. OLG.ca is also legal in Ontario but is operated by OLG under separate provincial authority, so it is handled in its own section rather than the directory. Outside those two tracks (iGaming Ontario operators and OLG), no other sportsbooks are authorised to take wagers from Ontario residents.
No. Canadian Betting Sites is an independent reference resource. It does not rank, review, rate, or recommend operators, and it publishes no bonus listings or affiliate links. Inclusion in the directory means a brand appears on iGaming Ontario’s authorised operator list, nothing more. Compare brands on your own terms and confirm current status with iGaming Ontario before signing up.
That is a useful warning sign. A sportsbook authorised to take wagers from Ontario residents should appear on iGaming Ontario’s public list of operators. If a brand is not on that list and is not OLG, it is not part of Ontario’s regulated market, regardless of what its marketing suggests. When in doubt, do not sign up until you can confirm the brand on iGaming Ontario’s list or as OLG.
