DraftKings Sportsbook Ontario Review
Updated By the Ontario.gg Editorial Team
DraftKings Sportsbook is a regulated option in Ontario, run by Crown DK CAN Ltd. and contracted to iGaming Ontario, for bettors 19 or older in the province.
Each Canadian withdrawal method has a stated minimum, maximum and typical time, with cards the fastest at under 24 hours once processed.
One AGCO penalty is on record, from 2022, and the terms and betting rules on its main sites wouldn’t open for us, so settlement rules aren’t covered.

DraftKings Ontario: licence and operator
iGaming Ontario's catalogue of regulated sites lists DraftKings Sportsbook under Sports Betting, run by Crown DK CAN Ltd., at the address sportsbook
The AGCO’s public register shows OPIG1238029 for www.draftkings.com, with the status “Active” and a term from May 13, 2026 to May 12, 2028.
Its related domains on the register include sportsbook.draftkings.com, the address in the catalogue.
DraftKings cites an Operating Agreement with iGaming Ontario and describes itself as a US company headquartered in Boston, MA.
It takes bets in Ontario and Alberta, and Ontario play requires being physically present in the province.
Same operator, other products
- DraftKings Casino: listed in the catalogue under the same operator, with the Casino label.
- Golden Nugget Casino: also listed under Crown DK CAN Ltd., with the Casino label.
Fines from AGCO
- $100,000 Monetary penalty over alleged public advertising of inducements on television and social media between May 19 and May 31, 2022 (Standard 2.05).
DraftKings sports betting: sports and esports
DraftKings covers the NFL, the NBA, MLB, the NHL, soccer, PGA Tour golf, UFC, MMA, boxing, motorsports and college sports.
It also offers esports, naming League of Legends and World of Warcraft, but doesn’t say which events are on the board on a given day.
Two rules apply at every Ontario site: bets on Canadian minor-league sports, the CHL included, are banned under AGCO Standard 4.34, and any esports bet has to pass the same tests as a bet on a sport. More on esports betting in Ontario.
Markets and bet types
Markets include moneylines, spreads, totals, parlays, player props and live markets, plus same-game parlays and combinations that stack several picks from one game on a single ticket.
Live betting and streaming
Live bets run between plays and during breaks, at spreads, moneylines and totals that update as the game goes on.
Streaming isn’t mentioned, so we can’t say whether DraftKings streams games in Ontario.
Cash-out rules
Cash Out closes an active bet before the result is known. On select sports it covers pre-game, live, future and parlay bets, for more or less than your stake.
Eligible bets show a CASH OUT box on the slip, and the My Bets page lists the amount. Availability varies and isn’t guaranteed. Once confirmed, the money goes to your account immediately.
An accepted bet can’t be cancelled; cashing out is the only way to leave it early, where offered.
Payments and withdrawal times
| Method | Deposits | Withdrawals | Stated withdrawal time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debit and credit cards | Yes: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express (credit only) | $1 to $25,000 | Under 24 hours |
| Interac | Yes | $1 to $10,000 | 1 to 3 days |
| PayPal | Yes | $1 to $60,000 | 1 to 2 days on one help page, 3 to 5 on another |
| Cheque | No | $15 to $50,000 | 5 to 7 business days with tracking; under $100, up to 14 with none |
Those times start at the email titled “Withdrawal Request Completed”, and DraftKings says individual withdrawals can run longer.
Online banking, gift cards, cash and wire transfer aren’t available for deposits in the Canadian table. Availability varies by jurisdiction, and your account’s Withdrawal page shows what you can use.
Every withdrawal method needs a deposit through it first, and a new one needs email two-factor authentication. DraftKings can send money back to the method that funded the account, and it can cancel a withdrawal over limited gameplay under its terms.
Deposits have to come from a payment method in your name, and money deposited for one product may not be usable on another.

Deposit limits and responsible gambling
A limit can be tightened at any time, but not loosened until its waiting period ends: 1 day for a daily deposit limit, 7 for a weekly and 30 for a monthly, then a further 24 hours to activate the increase.
Your limit pages show when each waiting period ends, and the periods depend on where you live.
- Deposit limits: daily, weekly or monthly, across the account.
- Wager limits and time limits.
Outside the account, BetGuard shuts you out of every regulated online gaming site in Ontario at once, and our page on responsible gambling tools and help lines covers the rest.
Rules to read before you bet
- Age and location: 19 or older and physically present in Ontario.
- Withdrawals: cheques go only to the verified name and address on the account, never to a P.O. box.
Support
DraftKings says support is on hand around the clock, with chat in its help portal. The only postal address it gives is the US office, 222 Berkeley St, Boston, MA 02116.
What this card doesn’t cover
We leave out what we can’t read on a primary source. For DraftKings Sportsbook, that currently means:
- How void, postponed or abandoned bets settle, maximum payouts and obvious-error rules, all in terms we couldn’t open.
- Same-game parlay rules for Ontario, streaming, and self-exclusion lengths.
- Whether DraftKings daily fantasy is open in Ontario, and any French-language support.
