How to check an operator’s status
Use regulator and market directories directly, match the web address, and avoid relying on a logo or search result alone.

Verify with the market authority
An operator name, logo or sponsorship does not establish authorization in your location. Start with the official regulator or market directory and confirm that the listed website matches the address you intend to visit.
For Ontario, iGaming Ontario publishes the sites offered by operators contracted for the regulated market. Legal age and availability differ elsewhere.
Match the details
Look for consistency across the official listing and operator site.
- Exact website hostname, including regional subdomain.
- Operator or legal entity name.
- Permitted product category and jurisdiction.
- Secure HTTPS connection and current responsible-gambling information.
