How Ontario's Regulated Market Works

iGaming Ontario: What the AGCO Licence Actually Means for You

On April 4, 2022, Ontario became the first Canadian province to open a regulated private sportsbook market — ending the grey-market era in which Canadians bet legally but without formal consumer protection. Every sportsbook listed on this hub holds a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and operates under a conduct-and-manage agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO), a subsidiary of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

This framework means several things that matter directly to bettors. Player funds must be held in segregated accounts — your money is separate from the operator's operating capital and is protected even if the operator faces financial difficulties. Every licensed operator is subject to regular independent audits for fair play, RNG compliance, and AML (anti-money laundering) standards. Disputes have a formal resolution pathway through the AGCO rather than requiring you to take an offshore operator at their word. And the full suite of responsible gambling tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion, reality checks — is mandated by regulation, not offered voluntarily.

The practical implication: Ontario bettors are protected in a way that bettors in BC, Alberta (for now), and every other Canadian province are not. That protection has real value and it is the primary reason to prefer an AGCO-licensed book over an offshore alternative for Ontario residents.

Ontario Sports Betting — Common Questions

Yes. Ontario launched Canada's first regulated private sportsbook market on April 4, 2022. All books listed on this page are licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and are 100% legal for Ontario residents aged 19 and over.
AGCO-licensed books operate under Ontario's regulatory framework, which means your funds are held in segregated accounts, disputes have a formal resolution process through the AGCO, and responsible gambling tools are mandated by law. Offshore books licensed by the MGA or Kahnawake provide meaningful consumer protection but do not offer the same provincial recourse rights as AGCO-regulated operators.
Yes. DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM all hold AGCO licences and launched in Ontario on April 4, 2022. All three are fully legal and regulated for Ontario residents aged 19+.
Independent margin testing shows Pinnacle and bet365 consistently offer the lowest vig on major North American markets in Ontario. For a full independent comparison, see our Ontario Margin Report — which measures actual margins across all AGCO-licensed books.
Yes. All three Toronto franchises are covered at every AGCO-licensed Ontario sportsbook. Moneylines, spreads, totals, and player props are available for Leafs, Raptors, and Blue Jays games throughout their respective seasons.
You must be 19 years of age or older to bet at any AGCO-licensed Ontario sportsbook. All licensed operators require age and identity verification (KYC) before accepting deposits or paying out winnings.

Yes. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) is preparing a regulated private sportsbook market modelled on Ontario's framework. See our Alberta Sports Betting hub for the latest on the timeline and expected licensees.
