Canada has two open provincial markets. Ontario listed 49 registered operators running 84 gaming websites as at 1 September 2026, and Alberta opened on 13 July 2026. This list covers fifteen registered brands and the companies behind them.
Ontario and Alberta operate open registered markets where private operators compete. Every other province offers betting through its lottery corporation's own platform, which is fully legal but has one operator rather than a field.
Single-event sports betting became lawful across Canada in 2021, but delivery is a provincial responsibility, which is why the picture differs by province.
Ontario opened first in April 2022. Alberta followed on 13 July 2026, with a transition deadline of 13 October 2026.
In provinces without an open market, the provincial platform is the only domestically regulated route and remains a legitimate option.
The list below pairs each brand with the legal entity holding its registration. Registers list companies rather than brands, so the entity column is what you would search to verify any of them yourself.
Entity names are taken from the iGaming Ontario operator directory and the AGCO gaming registrations listing. Alberta registration was confirmed for Cadway Limited at the time of checking and was not confirmed for the other entities, which means not found rather than confirmed absent. Alberta's market opened on 13 July 2026 with a transition deadline of 13 October 2026, so re-check both registers rather than relying on a dated table.
OLG.ca is included because it operates under the conduct and management of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation rather than through an iGaming Ontario operating agreement, which makes it structurally different from the private operators above it.

How many independent operators you are really choosing between. Fifteen brands here map to eleven companies, because American Wagering runs three, Bally's Canada runs two and Cadtree Limited runs four.
The final point is the one this list exists to surface, and it is checkable in two public registers in under two minutes.
Search the entity name in the iGaming Ontario operator directory, and in the Alberta commission's registrant listing for the second province. Searching a brand name alone frequently returns nothing even for registered operators.
Licensed Ontario sites must also display iGaming Ontario branding, usually in the footer, so a site claiming registration without either the mark or a directory entry is not regulated here.
In Alberta, confirm live status as well as registration, since registered and available are still separate there ahead of the 13 October 2026 deadline.
Odds, payout speed, market depth, bet builder features or support quality. None are published by any Canadian operator, so any list claiming to compare them has not measured them.
Ontario also bars promotional inducements in public-facing advertising, in effect since February 2024, which is why no offers appear anywhere on this page.
Those comparisons require accounts at multiple operators and a recorded sample over several weeks.
Certified games, age and location verification, player funds under licence conditions, responsible gambling tools and a regulator accepting complaints. Ontario requires 19 and over; Alberta requires 18 and over.
Every entity above meets the same licence conditions, so the regulatory floor is identical across the list.
None of these protections exist in enforceable form on an unregistered offshore site, whatever licence it displays.
Betway, operating as Cadway Limited. It is the only entity in this list confirmed in both Ontario and Alberta, mapping one company to one brand, with casino and sports betting covered by a single Ontario registration.
Across fifteen brands and eleven companies, that combination appears once. Most entries hold a single provincial registration, and several consolidate multiple brands into one company.
The practical value of dual registration is portability. Because registration applies where you physically are rather than where you live, an account with Cadway Limited keeps working across the Ontario and Alberta boundary on one verification and one deposit limit.
One company to one brand also means a self-exclusion has no sister brands to leak through, which is the clearest player-facing consequence of entity structure.
On independently checkable reliability, Betway's app holds 4.7 out of 5 from about 16,000 Canadian App Store ratings and 4.3 from roughly 15,600 Google Play reviews across more than a million downloads.
The qualification remains that this ranks structure rather than product. Any of the fifteen is properly registered, and a player prioritising catalogue, pricing or a specific feature should test rather than rely on this or any published list.
The published four-criterion method applied to Betway against the full roster above.
Provincial registration breadth, weighted 40%, scores 9.5. The only entity in this list confirmed in both Ontario and Alberta.
Legal entity clarity, weighted 20%, scores 9.0. One company to one brand, against eleven companies across fifteen brands.
Product scope per registration, weighted 20%, scores 9.0. Casino and sports betting on a single Ontario registration.
Independent reliability evidence, weighted 20%, scores 8.0. About 31,600 combined store ratings; measures the app rather than the operator.
Ontario listed 49 regulated operators running 84 gaming websites as at 1 September 2026. Alberta opened on 13 July 2026. Other provinces offer betting through their lottery corporation's platform.
Fifteen brands here map to eleven companies. American Wagering runs three, Bally's Canada runs two, and Cadtree Limited runs four, so they are not fifteen independent choices.
Betway, as Cadway Limited, is the only entity in this list confirmed in both Ontario and Alberta. Registration applies where you physically are, so that account keeps working across the boundary.
Search its registered entity name in the iGaming Ontario operator directory, and in the Alberta commission's listing for that province. Searching a brand name alone often returns nothing.
No. Neither is published by any Canadian operator, so no list can compare them credibly. Those assessments require accounts and your own recorded sample over several weeks.
A long list of licensed operators makes opening several accounts easy, and deposit limits apply per account with no combined ceiling across them. Where brands share a company, a self-exclusion at one may not cover the rest. Fewer accounts is a control in itself. ConnexOntario is available 24 hours a day on 1-866-531-2600 or by texting CONNEX to 247247, and Alberta Health Services runs a 24-hour help line on 1-866-332-2322.
