Start with your location
Find the province where you will physically be when wagering. Account residency requirements may also apply. Ontario authorization is not nationwide authorization.
Check the specific site
Use the provincial directory, not a logo alone. Match the brand, legal entity, product and exact domain. A familiar brand may use different websites in different jurisdictions.
Distinguish operators from suppliers
A game studio, platform provider or critical systems supplier may be registered without being authorized to accept bets. Alberta requires both operator registration and a commercial agreement; Ontario uses AGCO registration and an iGO agreement.
Recheck before depositing
A dated directory entry can change. Confirm current status at the official source and read the operator’s account rules.
The Prince Edward Island check
Use the official Atlantic Lottery list and this edition’s local eligibility rules before acting on general information.
