Canadian betting is decided province by province
There is no national online betting licence in Canada. Ontario runs an open market where private sportsbooks and casinos hold a registration with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Every other province offers one government run site instead, so the legal choice depends entirely on where you live.
