# Which brands that reviews name are actually registered? > A dated match of sportsbook brands named in Canadian reviews and assistant answers against the Ontario and Alberta registries and the provincial platforms. Source: https://reviewstandings.com/brands-vs-registries/ Updated: 2026-11-13 As of 2026-11-13 this snapshot matches sportsbook brands named in reviews and assistant answers against the Ontario and Alberta lists. Brands found are shown by name with the reading date, 2026-11-06. Brands found in neither list will appear only as a count. Registration is confirmed again on the day a page goes live. ## The match Each row is a brand named by one or both assistant answers of 2026-11-06. Review counts come from [the reviewer matrix](https://reviewstandings.com/reviewer-matrix/) and are not published yet. **Brands found in the registries · sources: iGaming Ontario list (page dated 2026-09-01) and AiGC list · reading of 2026-11-06 · status as of 2026-11-13** | Brand (candidate, registration to be confirmed) | Named by assistant answers (of 2) | Reviews in the matrix naming it | iGaming Ontario list (ON) | AiGC list (AB) | |---|---|---|---|---| | bet365 | 2 | Not published | Found | Found | | BET99 | 2 | Not published | Found | Found | | BetMGM | 2 | Not published | Found | Found | | Betway | 1 | Not published | Found | Found | | BetRivers | 1 | Not published | Found | Found | | Caesars | 1 | Not published | Found | Found | | DraftKings | 2 | Not published | Found | Found | | FanDuel | 2 | Not published | Found | Found | | Pinnacle | 1 | Not published | Found, by operator name (Pinny (Ontario) Limited); to be confirmed | Not found on 2026-11-06 | | PointsBet | 1 | Not published | Found | Not found on 2026-11-06 | | Sports Interaction | 1 | Not published | Found | Found | | Stake | 1 | Not published | Not found on 2026-11-06 | Found | | TonyBet | 1 | Not published | Not checked yet | Found | How to read this table Registered in: ON means the brand is in the Ontario list. Registered in: AB means it is in the Alberta list. A brand can be in one list and not the other, as Pinnacle and Stake show. A name match is not a statement about which legal entity runs the site. **Bottom line:** thirteen brands are matched by name; only some are in both lists. ## Public platforms Where a province runs online sports betting itself, the platform is not a private brand in a registry. The platforms are PlayNow (BCLC) in British Columbia (BC), Mise-o-jeu+ (Loto-Québec) in Québec (QC) and PlayNow MB (Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries) in Manitoba (MB). OLG.ca appears among the operators in the iGaming Ontario list. Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada: we could not confirm this as of 2026-11-13. **Bottom line:** outside Ontario and Alberta, the provincial platform is the registered option. ## Brands in neither list The working list from the 2026-11-06 answers holds 22 brand names. The thirteen above were matched by name. The others are not shown: they are either not yet matched or were not found. Until a legal opinion on naming them is received, they appear only as a count in the form "N of M not found in the ON and AB registries on [date]". The count is not published yet. "Not found" carries no accusation. It records one list and one date, and it says nothing about intent. **Bottom line:** unmatched names stay out of the table until the match and the legal opinion are complete. ## How we check 1. Open the iGaming Ontario list and the AiGC list on the reading date. 2. Search each brand and its domain; record found or not found. 3. For a name match, compare the operator's own documents for the legal entity. 4. Re-read both lists weekly; remove a brand with no record at once. You can repeat the steps with [the five-step registration check](https://reviewstandings.com/check-sportsbook-registration-ontario-alberta/). One example of why status matters is the price claim in [the Pinnacle check](https://reviewstandings.com/pinnacle-pricing-claim-checked/). ## Sources - iGaming Ontario, regulated iGaming market: [https://igamingontario.ca/en/player/regulated-igaming-market](https://igamingontario.ca/en/player/regulated-igaming-market) - Alberta iGaming Corporation, registered sites: [https://www.abigaming.ca/operators/registered-igaming-sites/](https://www.abigaming.ca/operators/registered-igaming-sites/) - Pages of BCLC, Loto-Québec and Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries for the public platforms. ## What changed - 2026-11-13: first snapshot from the reading of 2026-11-06; weekly re-reads to follow. ## FAQ **What does 'found in the registry' mean here?** The brand name appears in the site list of that registry on the reading date. The registries list brands and legal entities separately, so a name match is confirmed against the operator's own documents. **What does 'not found' mean?** It states that a brand name is not in a list on a date. It is not a claim about the company, and the brand may be authorized under a different regime or in another province. **Why are some brands shown only as a count?** Brands in neither list appear without names until a legal opinion allows naming them. The count is given as 'N of M not found in the ON and AB registries on the date'. **Does a brand registered in Ontario work in every province?** No. Status is kept by province. A brand in the Ontario list is not shown as available in Alberta or elsewhere unless that province's regulator lists it too.
