Why this is a snapshot rather than a permanent list
Operator counts, authorized domains and regulatory standards can change. We date the record and link to the current official sources instead of presenting a scraped list as permanently current.
Ontario
Ontario private operators generally operate through the provincial regulated framework involving AGCO registration and an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The official iGaming Ontario directory is the practical place to verify regulated gaming websites.
Alberta
Alberta’s government identifies AGLC as the market regulator and the Alberta iGaming Corporation as the body overseeing the regulated market. The competitive market launched July 13, 2026.
