BetMGM has operated in Canada since Ontario launched its regulated market in 2022, expanding its footprint when Alberta opened its regulated iGaming market on July 13, 2026. As a confirmed day-one operator in both provinces, BetMGM offers its licensed sports betting and online casino platform to players across Ontario and Alberta.
Licensing in Canada
BetMGM is a 50/50 joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Entain plc. It’s licensed in Ontario by the AGCO under an iGaming Ontario agreement, and in Alberta by the AGLC and Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC). Minimum age is 19 in Ontario, 18 in Alberta. Location verification uses geolocation technology – a common industry practice across regulated Canadian operators, not unique to BetMGM.
Sports Betting
The sportsbook leans into NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB coverage, with moneyline, spread, and totals betting alongside parlays, teasers, and round robins. Cash Out and live in-game betting are core tools, with odds updating in real time as games progress. Full breakdown of odds and markets is in the sports betting review.

Casino
The casino leans on BetMGM’s Vegas branding, with a large slot library, progressive jackpots, table games, and a live dealer section streamed in a professional studio setting. A dedicated poker room offers cash games alongside Sit & Go and tournament formats. Full breakdown is in the casino review.

Payments and Responsible Gaming
All transactions run in CAD. Interac e-Transfer, major cards, and e-wallets like PayPal and Apple Pay are among the accepted methods, with withdrawals typically going through a short review period before funds are released back to the original deposit method.
BetMGM runs the GameSense responsible gaming program, with deposit and time limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion available through account settings. Ontario players can reach ConnexOntario for support; Alberta runs its own centralized self-exclusion system under AGLC.
Conclusion
BetMGM is confirmed live in both of Canada’s regulated markets, backed by genuine MGM brand equity in the casino product. The Ontario-only framing that’s circulated in some content needs to be corrected before publishing – Alberta is very much part of the picture now.
