    How to start betting in Ontario

    With the arrival of online betting, Ontarians can visit legal Ontario sports betting sites to place single event wagers via a mobile device, tablet, or computer. Bettors can also submit their picks at a Great Canadian Sportsbook, a sports betting kiosk at a participating casino, or an OLG lottery terminal.

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Ontarians are now flush with options, as several online sports betting sites have joined PROLINE+ as provincially regulated platforms for sports bettors. We recommend doing some research before settling on your first sportsbook. Check out betting lines, read some reviews, and make sure your banking needs are met before getting started.

    2

    Register online

    Creating an account with an Ontario sportsbook is a breeze. Simply enter some personal information and confirm your identity, and you’ll be ready to get in on the sports betting action. Anyone in Canada can register with an Ontario betting site, but you must be physically present in the province to place a bet.  

    3

    Deposit funds

    Funding an account can be done in a matter of minutes. Ontario sports betting sites accept several payment methods, including debit cards, credit cards, Interac, PayPal, eChecks, and more. Cryptocurrency is not considered legal tender by Ontario sportsbooks and will not be accepted.

    Bettors do not need to be physically located in Ontario to fund an account. Most deposits can be made free of charge but look over any relevant terms and conditions to avoid unexpected fees.

    4

    Choose your bet types

    Ontario sports betting participants have access to all the popular bet types. With the arrival of big names like FanDuel Ontario, PointsBet, and theScore Bet, local options are about to look even better. Newly regulated books have joined PROLINE+ in offering moneyline bets, Over/Unders, props, live bets, futures, point spreads, and more.

    5

    Start betting

    Once you’ve become familiar with the betting options and online Ontario sportsbooks, it’ll be time to lay down some action. Do your research and make sure you’re 100% comfortable with your first bet. You must be physically located in Ontario to place a sports wager.

    6

    Withdraw funds

    Ontario sports bettors can expect withdrawals to take a day or two to process. Some Ontario sports betting sites allow you to access your funds free of charge, while others may charge a few dollars when it’s time to cash out.

    Regardless of your location, registered iGaming operators must allow you to access your Ontario sports betting winnings.

    Reading the odds

    American odds are the most common way to display odds in North America and are the default option for online sportsbooks. These odds identify favourites and underdogs with minus (-) and plus (+) signs. You can spot a favourite by looking for a minus sign. The number next to the minus sign will tell you the amount you’d have to wager to win $100. For example, -160 odds indicate you need to bet $160 if you’d like to walk away with $100 in profit.

    Conversely, a plus sign represents the underdog. The number that follows shows you what you stand to win should you place a $100 wager. For example, +250 odds tell you that a $100 bet would net you $250 in cold, hard cash.

    Check out our odds converter to swap American odds for fractional or decimal odds.

    Who can bet on sports in Ontario?

    You must be 19 to visit legal Ontario betting sites or Great Canadian Sportsbook locations. If you’re 18 years of age, you can place in-person wagers at an OLG lottery terminal. As of Feb. 1, 2022, single-game betting is available at approximately 10,000 Ontario retailers.

    Here's a brief overview of what sports bettors can expect in Ontario:

    21plus Legal age

    Sports bettors must be at least 19 if they wish to bet online in Ontario. Physical bets may be placed in-store at OLG lottery terminals by 18-year-olds.

    21plus Mobile betting

    Mobile betting is live with the best sports betting apps in Ontario. With just a few taps, bettors can place single-game sports wagers from anywhere in the province. As of April 4, 2022, anyone physically located in Ontario can place a legal wager with any registered Ontario sports betting site. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) regulates all online sports betting in Ontario.

    21plus Remote registration

    Anyone, regardless of their location, can register and add funds to a new sportsbook account. Only those in Ontario will be able to bet, however. Bettors can place their first single-game bets from home, their favourite sports bars, or any other location in Ontario. Remote registration removes the need to visit a local OLG outlet before placing a sports wager. 

    globe Within provincial borders

    Ontario sports bettors must have both feet firmly planted within provincial lines when placing a sports bet online on an AGCO-regulated platform. While online sports betting is already permitted in Manitoba and Quebec, each province manages and controls its own sports betting activity. Residents of Ontario are required to turn on location services and confirm their exact whereabouts before each wager.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    There are five retail sportsbooks in Ontario — and six other casinos feature sports betting kiosks. Kambi supplies its sports betting solutions to 10 Great Canadian Entertainment casinos.

    Kambi has also finalized deals to offer retail sports betting at Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara. 

    percent Taxable winnings

    Gambling profits are not taxed in Canada, so Ontarians can enjoy 100% of their sports bet winnings.

    The pros and cons of Ontario sports betting

    Ontario has been a trailblazer when it comes to sports betting in Canada. The province’s wish to remain an open and highly competitive market has opened the door to dozens of operators and given new and experienced sports bettors a multitude of wagering options. There are now 27 registered Ontario sports betting sites.

    However, Ontario features just five dedicated retail sportsbooks. Two of these are in the GTA.

    What else can you bet on in Ontario?

    The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has established criteria that sports bets need to meet to be deemed acceptable. Specifically, any bet that appears to be unethical, dangerous, placed on a fixed event, or involves a majority of participants under the age of 18 is off-limits.

    Politics

    esports

    The AGCO permits esports betting in Ontario, provided the majority of participants are 18 or older. Toronto-based operator Rivalry set its esports betting platform live on April 4, 2022.

    What about Ontario university sports?

    Ontario sports bettors can find major events — such as the Vanier Cup — on some betting sites.

    Ontarians love their sports teams

    While NFL rules the Ontario sports betting roost, the local roster of sports teams garners significant betting attention.

    From the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators generate much of the online gambling action. The Toronto Raptors are Canada’s lone NBA franchise. Their 2018-19 title run galvanized the country and earned them throngs of fans from every province.

    The two-time World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays have rebooted the franchise, giving Canada’s only MLB team a much-needed boost. Rounding out the Ontario sports betting scene, Toronto FC has cemented their status as a formidable MLS club while the Toronto Argonauts, holders of a CFL-record 17 Grey Cup championships, look to rebound following the cancellation of the 2019 season.

    iGaming Ontario handle and revenue

    Ontario's total iGaming handle (including sports betting, online casino, and online poker) rose to $11.53 billion in its third quarter of legal event wagering and online gaming (October 2022 through December 2022). In total, the province took in over $21.6 billion in total wagers in 2022. 

    Here's a look at Ontario's iGaming earnings to date:

    Yearly breakdown

    2022 $21.64B $886M 4%

    2022 N/A $4.076B $6.04B $11.53B $21.64B

    Other types of gambling

    When it comes to gambling in Ontario, sports betting is far from the only game in town. You can find 28 casinos in the province, including seven in the Greater Toronto Area.

    Woodbine Racetrack, located in Etobicoke, is the largest and most prominent racetrack in Ontario and features a standalone casino — Casino Woodbine.

    casino Casino

    The Gaming Control Act of 1992 opened the doors to in-person casino gambling in Ontario. Today, the province is home to over two dozen OLG-operated commercial casinos and racinos. Ontario gamblers can enjoy a variety of table games and slots when visiting these locations.

    The AGCO and iGaming Ontario have now approved 58 registered online casino operators. With the newly-established iGaming Ontario spearheading the province’s new online gambling initiatives, expect to see even more Ontario online casinos introduced in the future.

    poker Poker

    There are plenty of ways for Ontario card sharks to hone their skills. Live poker can be found at many of the province’s casinos, while online poker is available via the OLG.

    With NSUS Limited now a registered online gaming operator, wsop.ca (World Series of Poker) launched in 2022.

    Horse and jockey Horse racing

    The Sport of Kings is well-served within the Ontario sports betting scene. 

    However, online sportsbooks must acquire a federal betting permit from the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency if they want to provide comprehensive coverage of horse race betting in Ontario. Canada's federal government oversees all horse race betting in the country, so for now, new iGaming operators will be unable to offer this type of gambling to online bettors.

    Horse racing enthusiasts can either bet online with HPIbet or place physical wagers at a local track. Woodbine Mohawk Park (Campbellford), Rideau Carleton Raceway (Ottawa), and Fort Erie Race Track (Fort Erie) all accept in-person horse race bets.

    Horse and jockey Daily fantasy sports

    According to FanDuel, DFS players in Ontario will no longer have access to paid or free daily fantasy contests starting April 1, 2022.

    All entries submitted before April 1 will run as usual, and any winnings remain eligible for withdrawal. Any tickets and Championship League entries won or entered on or before April 1 will also run as usual.

    Bill C-218 officially legalized daily fantasy sports (DFS). DraftKings and FanDuel have a stronghold on DFS contests in the nation’s most populous province, but you'll have to wait for them to set up new iGaming compliant sites before getting back in the DFS game.
