All New Betting Sites in Canada

The latest betting sites in Canada includes 888Sport, Stake, BetNova, and BET99, all of which launched in Alberta in October. 

Ontario has also seen several new sportsbooks this year, including Betinia, Hard Rock Bet, and DAZN Bet.

Several sportsbooks are expected to launch in Alberta in the coming months. These include Betano, PointsBet, 247Bet, and Tooniebet, all of which are currently registered and awaiting AiGC approval before they can begin accepting players. 

Stake is the only new betting site expected to launch next in Ontario, having also just recently launched in Alberta. There will likely be more expected to come in 2027.

New betting sites release throughout the year, with the frequency of releases varying by province. 

Alberta has had the highest number of new launches in 2026, due to their private market launching earlier this year which required sites to acquire new licensing to operate in the province.

In Ontario, which launched its private market in 2022, sees fewer new arrivals due their market being more established. 

New sites in the rest of Canada are harder to track as they are technically not condoned legally by Canadian laws, instead accepting players through international licenses.

New betting sites operating in Ontario and Alberta must meet regulatory requirements before they can legally offer their services. In Ontario, operators require registration with the AGCO and an agreement with iGaming Ontario. Alberta has a similar system involving the AGLC and AiGC. 

Choosing a regulated betting site provides stronger player protections, including requirements for fair gaming, responsible gambling, and secure payments.

The easiest way to verify a betting site is licensed in your province is to check for the AiGC logo in Alberta or the iGaming Ontario logo in Ontario, which is required to be displayed on platforms licensed in both provinces.

Each province also maintains a directory of every site they have approved.

No, you are required to be physically located in Ontario or Alberta to place bets through betting sites operating in both provinces. Both use geolocation technology to verify your location and perform necassary KYC checks required by their license agreements. 

However, you don't necessarily need to be a resident of the province. Visitors who meet the legal gambling age and other eligibility requirements can also use approved betting sites while physically present there.

A betting site becoming registered in Alberta or Ontario shows direct intent to enter the province by meeting regulatory requirements necassary for licensing. In Alberta, for example, operators must register with the AGLC and enter into a commercial agreement with the AiGC before launching. 

An approved betting site has completed the necessary authorization requirements, although its platform may not be live immediately. We distinguish between registered, approved, and live operators in our lists.

At MyBettingSites Canada, we've followed developments in the Canadian online gambling market since 2020. Our team monitors registrations, operator announcements, official approvals, and new sportsbook launches. 

We also track platforms preparing to enter Canada and those leaving the market, helping Canadian bettors stay informed about which betting sites are available, which are coming soon, and which are no longer operating.

When a betting site exits a market, the site is expected to notify customers and provide instructions for managing remaining account balances and withdrawals. 

For example, Maverick Games ceased operating in Ontario in November 2026. Players should follow the operator's official closure instructions and contact provincial regulators if they encounter unresolved issues with their accounts.
