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
- Open the iGaming Ontario list and the AiGC list on the reading date.
- Search each brand and its domain; record found or not found.
- For a name match, compare the operator's own documents for the legal entity.
- Re-read both lists weekly; remove a brand with no record at once.
You can repeat the steps with the five-step registration check. One example of why status matters is the price claim in the Pinnacle check.

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.
