Who runs online play in Ontario
Since April 4, 2022, Ontario has had a regulated market for online gambling. The games come from private operators, while iGaming Ontario conducts and manages that play online. Ontario's Alcohol and Gaming Commission, known as the AGCO, serves as the regulator.
For a private online casino, two things have to be in place before it is legal in the province. It needs registration with the AGCO. It also needs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.
Unlike the private sites, OLG.ca is the province's own online casino, which OLG conducts and manages. That same body also conducts and manages casino gaming at Ontario's land-based casinos, including the one on Richmond Street.
Checking a site against the list
iGaming Ontario keeps the official list of regulated sites at igamingontario.ca, and any online casino can be checked against it. Play on those sites is open to people 19 and over, and only while they are physically inside Ontario.
Someone who wants out of all of them at once can use BetGuard at betguard.ca. One step there blocks every regulated Ontario online gambling site, OLG.ca included, for anyone 19 or older. It does not reach land-based casinos, so the building on Richmond Street sits outside it.
Where the money comes from
Paid links appear on the home page of this guide and nowhere else. Each one carries an Ad label. Behind them sits a private online casino partner, left unnamed because it can change. We give no guarantee about it, so look it up, like every other online casino, in the iGaming Ontario directory before playing.
The partner has no connection to the casino on Richmond Street, to Gateway, which operates it, to OLG or to iGaming Ontario. No money changes hands for links to the casino, to OLG, to the province or to help services. Those links stay unpaid on every page of the site.
Questions before you go
Does the casino on Richmond Street have an online casino?
This guide covers the building at 615 Richmond Street, not any website. For online play, the province's own casino is OLG.ca, conducted and managed by OLG.
Can you play online from a Chatham hotel room?
Yes, provided the site is regulated and you are 19 or older. Since Chatham is in Ontario, the rule is that you must be physically inside the province while playing. Regulated sites are listed in the iGaming Ontario directory.
Why does the guide keep its partner's name off the page?
The partner can change, so a name here could soon be out of date. Whatever site a home page link leads to, check it against the directory at igamingontario.ca first.
