iGaming Ontario publishes a directory of every site offered by the regulated operators it works with. Before you sign up, look for the site in that list on igamingontario.ca, and check that the iGaming Ontario and BetGuard logos are on the site.

Ontario and our safety ranking
The casinos in our ranking hold international licences (Curaçao, Anjouan, Estonia and others), not an AGCO registration. Check in each casino’s terms whether it accepts players located in Ontario; if you live in Ontario, the sites listed by iGaming Ontario are the regulated option.
Our safety reviews remain useful to compare how bonuses, wagering and withdrawals work, wherever you play.
