Help for bettors
Updated By the Ontario.gg Editorial Team
A bet should cost what you decided to spend on it and nothing more. Once betting eats into money, hours or sleep you never planned to give it, these are the people in Ontario to call.
A person on the line, any hour
ConnexOntario connects people in Ontario with problem gambling, addiction and mental health services. The service costs nothing and never closes: call 1-866-531-2600, or use the text, live chat and email options on connexontario.ca. You can ask for yourself or on behalf of a friend.
Lock yourself out of online betting
Since May 14, 2026, iGaming Ontario has run BetGuard: one online portal that bars you from all of the province's regulated gaming websites, OLG's own among them. Your existing accounts stop letting you in, new ones can't be opened, and the marketing stops. You choose the length: 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, or a term you define. Anyone 19 or older can apply.
Who can bet, and from where
Online sports betting in Ontario is 19+, on OLG's PROLINE+ and on every private sportsbook. PROLINE bought in a store is 18+. The private sites listed by iGaming Ontario accept bets only from players located inside Ontario.
Our side of it
No bonus offers appear here, and no page sells betting as income. Should operator links ever arrive, each one comes with 19+ · play responsibly · ConnexOntario 1-866-531-2600 printed beside it, and this page stays a click away from every one of them.
