Ontario legalized private online gambling through the iGaming framework in April 2022. The AGCO regulates the market while iGO manages operator registration. Only iGO-registered casinos may legally serve Ontario players. Many offshore operators have either applied for an Ontario license or have geo-blocked ON residents. Playing on unlicensed sites is not illegal for players, but operators face penalties.
Licensed Ontario casinos are required to accept Interac e-Transfer and support CAD. Most also offer Visa, Mastercard, and popular e-wallets. Crypto is not widely available on iGO-licensed platforms.
Gambling winnings are generally tax-free for recreational Canadian players. However, if the CRA considers you a professional gambler, winnings may be taxable as business income.
