Bet365 has operated in Canada since Ontario opened its regulated market in 2022, and expanded further when Alberta launched its own regulated iGaming market on July 13, 2026 – bet365 was confirmed as a day-one operator in both provinces.
Licensing in Canada
Bet365 is regulated in Ontario by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) under an iGaming Ontario operating agreement, and in Alberta by the AGLC and the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC). Outside these two provinces, residents typically use a government-run platform or access licensed international sites in a legal grey area – Canadian federal law doesn’t criminalize the individual bettor for this. Minimum age is 19 in Ontario, 18 in Alberta. Note: a specific AGCO registration number for bet365 has circulated in some content but isn’t independently confirmed here – verify directly against the AGCO or iGaming Ontario public registry before publishing it as fact.
Sports Betting
The sportsbook covers major North American leagues alongside a deep international catalog, including niche markets like snooker and darts. Cash Out, Bet Builder, and Early Payout – which settles a bet as a winner once your team opens a sufficient lead – are among the core tools. Full breakdown of odds and markets is in the sports betting review.

Casino
The casino shares a single account and wallet with the sportsbook, letting you move between sports odds and table games without transferring funds. The catalog includes well-known slot titles and jackpot series, alongside a live casino section with HD-streamed roulette and blackjack. Games are RNG-tested and audited by eCOGRA. Full breakdown is in the casino review.

Payments and Responsible Gaming
Deposits and withdrawals run in CAD, with Interac e-Transfer, debit and credit cards, and e-wallets among the accepted methods. Withdrawals generally return to the original deposit method – exact processing times and limits vary by method and should be confirmed on the live site rather than assumed.
Deposit and loss limits, reality checks, time-outs, and self-exclusion apply globally across every jurisdiction bet365 operates in – not reset per region, which is a genuine safety feature worth noting. Ontario adds BetGuard as its provincial self-exclusion program; Alberta runs its own centralized system under AGLC.
Conclusion
Bet365 is one of the few operators confirmed live in both of Canada’s regulated markets from day one – a real advantage as Alberta’s market matures alongside Ontario’s more established one.
