Illegal Gambling Awareness Week is a good reminder to make sure an online gaming site is regulated before you play.
Confirming that an igaming site is operating legally in Ontario takes just two steps:
1. Look for the logos. Regulated sites display the iGaming Ontario and BetGuard logos.
2. Check the directory. Confirm that the site is listed in iGaming Ontario’s directory of regulated gaming sites.
Why it matters
Ontario’s regulated igaming market is designed to provide oversight, mandatory safeguards like BetGuard and a trusted consumer complaint process no matter which regulated site you choose. With dozens of operators and more than 80 sites available, you have plenty of options.
Before you play, check the directory to verify that the site is authorized to operate in Ontario.
