Online gambling laws in Canada are quite relaxed. In 1985, the Canadian government allowed each province to choose their own gaming laws. Ontario's new gambling laws officially launched their legal, regulated gambling market on April 4, 2024.

For most of Canada, online gambling is illegal. However, Canadians can still visit and play with internationally regulated casinos. Conversely, Ontario supports online gambling and provides licenses that allow casino and sports betting operators to offer these services within the province.
