Before opening an account
Eligibility depends on your circumstances
Use the age limit and jurisdiction on the relevant record. A registration does not guarantee that a particular person can open an account or use every product under the same brand.
Provincial entries apply to their stated jurisdiction. An Ontario or Alberta record does not establish Canada-wide availability. The age threshold and location requirements must be read for the province and product you intend to use.

Common questions
Questions about PlayNow
Which company is behind the operator?
The records name these legal entities: British Columbia Lottery Corporation; Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries; Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority. Check the individual product and jurisdiction card to see which company applies.
Does one licence cover every product and jurisdiction?
The scope is stated in the individual record. Products, companies and jurisdictions may have different permissions. A betting licence does not automatically establish casino or poker authorisation.
Does a register entry mean I can open an account?
You must still meet the age, identity, residence and location requirements and the operator’s current terms. Check the record status too. Unconfirmed and inactive records link to their evidence source.
When was the information checked?
Each source record has its own check date above. This review brings together the stored evidence and is not continuous monitoring of every website. Use the source links to confirm the latest terms and register entries.
