Canada Betting Sites, Apps & Guide

Single-game sports betting has been legal in Canada since August 27, 2021. Each province decides who can offer it. Ontario and Alberta have opened regulated markets to private sportsbooks, and they have their own guides on OddsCrowd. Everywhere else, the provincial lottery corporation runs the government betting site.

This guide is for bettors in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces and the territories. It reviews Sports Interaction, the Canadian sportsbook we cover, then the provincial sites, the age rules, how winnings are taxed and where to get help.

Offers checked November 4, 2026. Terms apply to every offer, so read them on the operator's site before you sign up.

Sports betting law in Canada

Gambling in Canada falls under the Criminal Code, which lets provinces run lottery schemes. Until 2021 that meant parlay betting only. Bill C-218, the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act, received royal assent on June 29, 2021 and came into force on August 27, 2021, and it allowed provinces to offer betting on single games.

Most provinces kept betting in the hands of their lottery corporations. British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan use PlayNow, Quebec has Loto-Québec's Mise-o-jeu, and the four Atlantic provinces share Atlantic Lottery. Ontario opened a regulated private market in April 2022, and Alberta followed on July 13, 2026.

Sports Interaction holds its licence from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, the gaming regulator of the Mohawk community of Kahnawà:ke, just outside Montreal.

FAQs

Is online sports betting legal in Canada?

Yes. Single-game betting has been legal since August 27, 2021, and each province decides who can offer it. Outside Ontario and Alberta, the provincial lottery corporations run the government sites. Sports Interaction is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

How old do you have to be to bet on sports in Canada?

It depends on the province. The minimum age is 19 in most provinces and the territories, and 18 in Manitoba, Quebec and Alberta.

What can I use in Ontario or Alberta?

Both provinces run their own regulated markets with registered private sportsbooks. See our Ontario and Alberta guides for the books licensed there.
