Casino winnings and taxes in Canada: general information

Advertisement and sponsored placement. If an account is opened through the button this site is paid a commission; the cost to you is unchanged and the position is bought rather than earned. You must be of legal gambling age where you are physically located: 19 in Ontario, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Canadian online gambling is authorised province by province, so no advertisement can tell you an operator is permitted where you live; the authority is AGCO with iGaming Ontario in Ontario, and BCLC, SLGA, AGLC, Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, Loto-Québec or Atlantic Lottery elsewhere. The advertised operator has no entry in the iGaming Ontario operator directory. Passing a location or identity check with a VPN or with details that are not yours is a route to a closed account, not to a payout. A spin or bonus offer is worth reading in full: the wagering multiple, which games contribute and at what rate, the expiry window, the maximum bet allowed while the bonus is active and any limit on what may be withdrawn from winnings. Gambling carries financial risk and is not a way to make money; free and confidential help is available in every province.
