Online Play Beyond Shorelines Peterborough

Since April 4, 2022, a private online casino may serve Ontario only under two conditions. One is registration with the AGCO, which is the regulator. The second condition: a signed operating agreement between the site and iGaming Ontario. Both conditions apply to every private site, however large or familiar its name.

iGaming Ontario keeps the public directory of those sites at igamingontario.ca. Checking a site's name there before any play is a simple habit to keep. The minimum age for players is 19, matching the line the Gaming Control Act, 1992, draws for casinos. They must also be physically inside Ontario.

OLG.ca belongs to the Ontario government as its online casino. OLG runs it, the same body that conducts and manages casino gaming in the province. Play there is open to people 19 and over who are in Ontario. It is not a private operator's site, and it is not the partner behind this guide's Ad links.

BetGuard, at betguard.ca, is iGaming Ontario's single opt-out from every regulated gambling website in Ontario, OLG.ca included. The term can be 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, or a span the person chooses.

It does not reach land-based casinos, the one on Fisher Drive among them. Those fall under My PlayBreak, OLG's self-exclusion programme, with breaks of 3 or 6 months or from 1 to 5 years. To enrol, a person calls the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098, asks casino staff or sees a PlaySmart Centre coordinator.

Commission from a private online casino helps pay for the guide. That arrangement may change, and a different casino could take over. Links to it appear three times, always on the home page and always tagged Ad. You meet them in the header as a button, as a panel right under the card check, and once more toward the foot of the page. Inner pages, the one you are reading among them, hold no paid links.

The partner is not OLG.ca. It has nothing to do with the casino on Fisher Drive, its operator or Kawartha Downs. A search by name at igamingontario.ca, the iGaming Ontario directory, works for any site, the partner included.
