Canadian gaming regulations

Canadian gaming regulations are overseen by provincial authorities to ensure fair, transparent, and responsible gambling. They set standards for licensing operators, promoting responsible gaming practices, and preventing illegal activities. Each province has its own regulatory body (e.g., Ontario Responsible Gambling Council, Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission) that enforces rules on betting limits, age restrictions, advertising, and data security. The goal is to protect consumers, ensure game integrity, and generate revenue responsibly. Online gambling is regulated in some provinces, allowing licensed platforms to operate legally, while others restrict or prohibit it to maintain control over the industry.
