    Read more about regulation

    There are two levels of gambling regulation in Canada: federal and provincial.

    At the federal level, gambling is prohibited by the Criminal Code except for those permitted at the provincial level of regulation. That is, the operator must obtain a licence from the province where he will provide services.

    Special attention should be paid to the province of Ontario - the only province that actively co-operates with international operators.

    Despite the existing rules of regulation, the Canadian market is very much ‘grey casinos’, because the authorities do not restrict access to such projects. The most popular ‘grey’ licence: Curacao.
