The correct escalation order for a dispute involving an Ontario regulated iGaming operator.

Quick answer

First make a formal complaint through the regulated operator and get a complaint reference number. If the issue remains unresolved or the response is unsatisfactory, eligible disputes can be escalated to iGaming Ontario.

Keep evidence

Save transaction records, screenshots, terms and all communication.

Use the formal operator process

A general chat message may not count as the formal complaint required for escalation.

Know iGO’s role

iGaming Ontario can review eligible complaints but says it cannot directly settle bets, refund wagers or award compensation.
