Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about provincially regulated online casinos in Canada, licensing, age requirements and our directory.
About this directory
What is LicensedCasinos.ca?
LicensedCasinos.ca is an independent informational directory of provincially regulated online casinos in Canada. We do not operate casinos or accept wagers.
Does every casino pay to be listed?
No. All eligible casinos can have free editorial profiles. Approved affiliate and sponsored relationships may support the site, but paid status does not determine whether a casino appears in the directory.
Why is some casino information missing?
Our directory is updated progressively. When a detail has not been verified or supplied, we prefer to leave it unavailable rather than guess.
Licensing and eligibility
Are all casinos listed here provincially regulated?
Our directory focuses on casinos authorized within Canadian provincial regulatory frameworks. Authorization and availability can differ by province. Check the casino profile and the relevant regulator's official registry for current details.
How can I verify a casino's licence?
Check the regulator and licence information on the casino's profile. Where available, follow the official verification link or search the regulator's registry directly.
What is the minimum legal gambling age?
The minimum age is generally 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, and 19 in other Canadian provinces and territories. Rules and eligibility depend on your location and the operator; always verify before participating.
Can I use an Ontario-regulated casino from another province?
Ontario-regulated gaming services generally require players to be physically located in Ontario when playing. Other provinces have their own rules and authorized offerings.
Payments and safer gambling
Which payment methods do casinos accept?
Payment options vary by operator. Where verified information is available, casino profiles describe supported methods; always check the operator's current terms.
Why might a casino request identity documents?
Operators may need to verify age, identity, location and compliance with applicable requirements. Specific verification procedures vary.
Where can I get help with gambling-related harm?
Visit the Responsible Gambling Council at responsiblegambling.org or seek support through the relevant provincial gambling-help service. If gambling is causing harm, consider stopping play and using available self-exclusion tools.
