Canada online gambling revenue by province

Online gambling revenue in Canada is reported province by province, because the Criminal Code leaves gambling to the provinces. Two provinces, Ontario and, since July 2026, Alberta, license private operators. In the others, the provincial lottery corporation runs the only legal online casino and sportsbook. The latest official figures show Ontario's private market at over C$4.2 billion in gaming revenue for its 2025-26 fiscal year, while the largest lottery platforms reported between C$30 million and C$560 million each.

Those numbers come from different kinds of report, so the table below states the basis of each. A revenue figure in a lottery corporation's financial statements is not the same measure as gross gaming revenue in a regulator's market report.

Latest online figures by province

Reading the bases correctly

The lottery corporations publish online results inside their annual reports, and each uses its own line items. BCLC and Manitoba report revenue for the online line of business. OLG's 2025-26 financial statements give iGaming revenue under IFRS, which for 2025-26 was C$556 million, against C$585 million for 2024-25 once iLottery was moved into its lottery segment; its 2024-25 annual report also gave a gross figure for digital gaming proceeds of C$882 million, which includes iLottery and PROLINE+ sports betting. Atlantic Lottery reports net revenue. Saskatchewan's SIGA reports both gross gaming revenue (C$31.6 million) and net revenue (C$12.4 million).

If you need one comparable measure across provinces, it does not exist in published form. The safest approach is to compare each province with itself over time, which is why the table gives the basis and fiscal year rather than a ranking.

Alberta's new market

Alberta's regulated iGaming market opened on 13 July 2026, according to the provincial government. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission registers operators, and the Alberta iGaming Corporation holds the commercial agreements. Under the published model, operators keep 80% of net iGaming revenue and the province 20%, with a further share of gross gaming revenue set aside for First Nations and for social responsibility programmes.

Before launch, the government estimated that about 70% of iGaming by Albertans took place on unregulated sites. No revenue or wager figures had been published by the regulator or the corporation when we checked, and press counts of live operators differ (from 10 companies to 28 casino sites), so we do not list one. We will add official figures when they appear.

Ontario's two channels

Ontario is the only province with two separate online channels in the data: the private market overseen by iGaming Ontario, and OLG's own site. Their figures are reported by different bodies and should be added together only with care, since iGaming Ontario's revenue is a gaming revenue measure and OLG's is an accounting revenue figure. Our Ontario market data page covers the private market in detail, including the monthly series for 2026.

The legal basis in brief

Provinces have conducted and managed lottery schemes, including online games, under the Criminal Code for many years. Single-event sports betting became possible on 27 August 2021, when the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act (Bill C-218), which received Royal Assent on 29 June 2021, came into force. Horse race betting remains federally regulated.
