Every iGaming Ontario casino: the complete licensed operator list

This is the whole legal market on one page: all 49 operators and the 84 gaming websites they run, taken from the official iGaming Ontario register (dated September 1, 2026) and re-verified by us on September 15, 2026. Unlike the register itself, we map each corporate entity to the brands you actually recognize, note what each one offers, and link our full review wherever we've tested the casino ourselves.

How does Ontario online casino licensing work?

Two bodies stand behind every name on this page, and knowing which does what is the fastest way to read the market correctly. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is the regulator: it registers operators and gaming suppliers, writes the Registrar's Standards they must meet, and hands out the fines when they don't. iGaming Ontario (iGO) is the commercial counterparty: every private operator signs an operating agreement with iGO before it can conduct a single real-money game. Registration without an agreement means a company is approved but not yet live — DAZN Bet, for instance, was AGCO-registered in January 2026 and didn't launch until June 30.

One structural change matters for anyone who last read up on this before 2025: iGO used to be an AGCO subsidiary, which drew persistent conflict-of-interest criticism (the regulator's own child was a commercial party to the deals it policed). That ended on May 12, 2025, when the iGaming Ontario Act, 2024 took effect and made iGO an independent, board-governed agency reporting to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. Day to day it changes little for players — same agreements, same directory — but it's why older articles describing iGO as "part of the AGCO" are now wrong. The full legal picture, including the 19+ rule and the OLG exception, is in our Ontario legality guide.

A telling practical detail: the AGCO's own "List of Registered Internet Gaming Operators" page no longer publishes a list at all — it simply refers you to the iGO directory. In practice there is now one canonical public register, and it's iGO's. That register is what the table below reproduces.

Which operators are on the iGaming Ontario register?

All 49 are listed below, alphabetically by legal entity, with the 84 brands they run and a link to our review where we have one. The register date is September 1, 2026; we verified every row on September 15 and re-read the directory on October 6, 2026 with no change to the totals.

Every row below is taken from the official iGO register (register date September 1, 2026; verified by us September 15, 2026). Operators are the legal entities that hold the registration and agreement; brands are the sites you'd actually visit. Where we've reviewed a casino in depth, the last column links our review. This directory carries no ranking spin — rows are alphabetical by operator, and our opinions live in the reviews, not here.

*The register itself lists operators and their gaming websites only. The verticals column is our annotation, based on the site names as registered and the products each operator lists on its own site — treat it as a guide, and confirm the exact product mix on the operator's site. OLG.ca is deliberately absent from this table: it is the Crown operator, AGCO-regulated but outside the iGO agreement system — see our OLG.ca review. Register dated September 1, 2026; verified September 15, 2026.

Why do 49 operators run 84 casinos?

The single most useful thing this table shows — and the thing the official register makes hard to see — is that Ontario's 84 "casinos" collapse into far fewer actual businesses. Apollo Entertainment alone runs seven brands (the Casino Rewards family: Zodiac, Grand Mondial, Yukon Gold and friends) under one registration. Skill On Net runs four, including PlayOJO. ElectraWorks Maple runs five, spanning bwin, the Party brands and the veteran Sports Interaction. Crown DK CAN runs both DraftKings and Golden Nugget — which is why our DraftKings and Golden Nugget reviews keep finding the same payment plumbing behind different skins.

Why should a player care? Three reasons. First, sister brands share infrastructure: the same KYC pipeline, payments team and support desk usually sit behind every skin an operator runs, so our findings about one brand's withdrawal behaviour (the thing we measure hardest — see our methodology) tend to transfer to its siblings. Second, compliance history attaches to the operator, not the brand: when the AGCO fines a company, every site it runs shares that record, even ones with spotless-looking front pages. Third, brand count is not market choice: if you self-assess as spreading risk across three casinos that all resolve to one entity, you haven't spread anything — your money is with one counterparty.

The reverse pattern exists too. Multi-vertical giants register one entity per group — BetMGM, FanDuel and 888 each run casino, poker and sportsbook as separate registered sites under one operator — while single-purpose specialists like GGPoker (poker only) or Neo.bet (sportsbook only) hold a full registration for one product. The register treats a poker room and a slots site identically; the table's verticals column is our attempt to give that distinction back.

Which operators joined or left Ontario in 2026?

The list is a moving target — it grew from 44 operators and 77 sites in May 2026 to 48/82 in July and 49/84 by September 1. Snapshot lists from even a few months ago are already wrong in both directions. The 2026 movements we've confirmed:

Two readings of this churn. The exits are concentrated among smaller operators for whom Ontario's customer-acquisition costs — inflated partly by the advertising restrictions we explain in the bonus rules guide — never penciled out. The entries skew the other way: global names (DAZN, Hard Rock, Fanatics) treating Ontario as their North American beachhead. Net effect for players: more choice at the top, less at the long tail, and a register you genuinely need to re-check before trusting any list, including this one.

How do you verify an Ontario casino's licence?

Don't take our word for any row above. The whole point of a regulated market is that you can check the primary source in under a minute:

1. Open the official directory at igamingontario.ca's operator list (the player-facing version lives at their regulated-market page). The AGCO's operator-list page refers you to the same place.
2. Search for the brand, not the company. The directory groups sites under legal entities, so look for "Jackpot City", not "Cadtree". If the brand isn't there and isn't OLG.ca, it isn't legal in Ontario.
3. Match the domain, not just the name — this is where lookalikes hide (next section). The registered site is the specific domain iGO lists.
4. Or use our free licence checker, which mirrors the register and handles misspellings and .com/.ca confusion for you.

How do offshore lookalikes differ from licensed Ontario sites?

Ontario's register creates a strange side effect: offshore sites now borrow its credibility. Some run near-identical brand names to registered casinos; others plaster "available in Canada" or a Curaçao seal near a maple leaf and let you draw the wrong conclusion; a few simply are the same global brand operating a separate, unregistered international site alongside its legal Ontario one — which is why matching the exact domain matters. A .ca address proves nothing, Interac support proves nothing, and a foreign licence proves only that the site is legal somewhere else.

What you give up on an unregistered site is concrete: no AGCO standards on segregated player funds, no provincial dispute path when a withdrawal stalls, and no coverage by BetGuard, the centralized self-exclusion register that spans every legal operator on this page. Roughly a sixth of Ontario players still gamble on unregulated sites, mostly without realizing it. If you only take one habit from this directory, make it this: check the register before you deposit, not after something goes wrong. The full breakdown of what offshore play costs you is in our guide to whether offshore casinos are legal in Ontario.

And once you've confirmed a site is legal, the practical differences begin — payout speed above all, since bonus advertising is banned here. Our ranked list covers the casinos we've tested in depth, the Interac guide explains the payment rails, and the fastest-withdrawal guide shows why an operator's KYC review window matters more than its advertised speed.
