{"id":378,"count":2,"description":"<h2 id=\"what-it-means\">What Ontario regulation means for players<\/h2>\n<p>Since 4 April 2022 Ontario has run its own regulated online gambling market. A private casino can serve Ontario only after it registers with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), the regulator, and signs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO), which runs the market. In September 2026 iGO listed about 49 operators running 84 sites. You must be 19 or over and physically in Ontario to play.<\/p>\n<p>At an Ontario-regulated casino:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"check-list\">\n<li>Your name, date of birth and address are verified before your account is opened.<\/li>\n<li>The site checks your location while you play and blocks attempts to hide it.<\/li>\n<li>Games and their random number generators are certified by a testing lab registered with the AGCO.<\/li>\n<li>You can set deposit and loss limits over a day, a week or a month, and loosening a limit waits at least 24 hours.<\/li>\n<li>Every site offers its own self-exclusion, and since May 2026 BetGuard lets you exclude yourself from every regulated site in Ontario at once.<\/li>\n<li>No credit is offered, balances are shown in Canadian dollars, and cryptocurrency is not accepted.<\/li>\n<li>Bonuses can only be advertised on the casino's own site or to players who have agreed to receive offers, and athletes have been banned from gambling ads since February 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The protections have limits. Player funds must be overseen by iGaming Ontario and available to players, but there is no rule that they sit in a trust account, and neither iGO nor the AGCO can order a casino to refund you. A brand's Ontario site is also a separate web address from its international site, so check which one you are on.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"disputes\">Complaints and disputes<\/h2>\n<p>Use the casino's formal complaints process first and keep the complaint number it gives you. The casino can take up to 90 days to decide. If it does not answer in time, or you are unhappy with the answer, you can escalate the dispute to iGaming Ontario through its player support page. iGO acknowledges complaints within one business day and reviews them, but it cannot settle bets, refund wagers or award compensation.<\/p>\n<p>If you think a casino broke Ontario's rules, you can also complain to the AGCO. It can issue warnings, fines and suspensions, and it has fined operators for failing to step in with players losing heavily, but it cannot get your money back. Complaints about responsible gambling, advertising or possible illegal activity can go to the AGCO without contacting the casino first.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/licensing-authority\/ontario\/","name":"\u041e\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0456\u043e","slug":"%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%96%d0%be","taxonomy":"licensing-authority","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ontario Licensed Online Casinos in 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Casinos we review that run an Ontario-regulated site.
