About Ontario.gg

Ontario.gg covers one province and four subjects: sports betting, OLG's PROLINE products, esports betting and online poker. The reader we have in mind is an adult in Ontario who wants to know who is allowed to take a bet, what those businesses may and may not offer, and which rule says so.

One desk, no bylines

The Ontario.gg Editorial Team researches each page, writes it and puts the team's name on it. There are no bylines, no invented personas and no borrowed credentials. A question or a correction reaches the same desk that wrote the page.

On the site today

The first version of the site is deliberately narrow. The home page lists every site that iGaming Ontario's catalogue shows under Sports Betting, with the operator and address the catalogue gives. The betting law page turns the AGCO's Standard 4.34 into a plain-language map of what you can and can't bet on; esports betting and the regulated poker sites have pages of their own. Nothing has been reviewed or rated yet.

What comes next

Reviews of individual sportsbooks, scored by the method on How we rate. Explainers on PROLINE and PROLINE+. Guides to bet types, odds and parlay calculators, and a closer look at each poker site. Each will rest on facts checked against primary sources, and we will name the source for any of them on request.

Lines we don't cross

• Recommend or list any betting or poker site beyond the iGaming Ontario catalogue and OLG's own products.
• Publish bonus amounts, sign-up offers or codes. Ontario's Standard 2.05 keeps them out of public advertising, and the AGCO counts affiliate links and descriptions as advertising.
• Sell predictions, or suggest that betting is a way to earn money or win back losses.
• Show athletes, esports players, streamers, team or league logos, or OLG's logo.

Who we answer to

Our readers. The AGCO, iGaming Ontario, OLG and the operators have no stake in Ontario.gg and see nothing before it is published. There is no commercial agreement with any operator today; if one is ever signed, the advertiser disclosure will say so before the first paid link appears.
