# PointsBet: Ontario registration and what the operator publishes > PointsBet in Canada: an Ontario-only registry record, no entry on the Alberta AiGC list in our notes, and what reviews say depending on province, on 2026-11-13. Source: https://reviewstandings.com/pointsbet-review/ Updated: 2026-11-13 As of 2026-11-13, PointsBet is an Ontario-only record in our notes, under the entity name Pointsbet Canada Operations 1 Inc., and the brand is absent from the Alberta AiGC list as read on 2026-11-06. Reviews are said to name it depending on province. This page keeps the province split visible and marks every gap. ## One province, one record The notes treat PointsBet differently from most brands on this site: it is a name seen in one registry and not in the other. **PointsBet: registry status · notes read 2026-11-06 · checked 2026-11-13** | Province | Registry | Result | |---|---|---| | Ontario (19+) | iGaming Ontario registry | Registered in: ON (Pointsbet Canada Operations 1 Inc., by name) | | Alberta (18+) | AiGC list of registered sites | Not found in the registry on 2026-11-06 | | British Columbia, Québec, Manitoba | Public platform of each province | Not available in your province | **Bottom line:** treat PointsBet as an Ontario candidate only, and re-check before you rely on it. ## Reading the Ontario record An Ontario operator is registered by the AGCO and holds an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The registry lists the entity in one table and brands in another, so the link from the name PointsBet to the entity is ours, not the registry's. We therefore ask two things on each reading: is the brand there, and does the operator's own terms page name the same entity? The second answer is not published yet. How the province works overall is on [betting on sports in Ontario](https://reviewstandings.com/sports-betting-ontario/). ## What reviews say A Perplexity answer of 2026-11-06 said reviews highlight PointsBet depending on province and betting style, and that Gambling.com's Ontario ranking includes it. The brand sat at position 8. "Depending on province" is the only part we can test, and the registry reading above supports its direction without proving what a given review says. Which reviews, and how many of them, is not published; the [reviewer matrix](https://reviewstandings.com/reviewer-matrix/) will hold the counts. See also the [Gambling.com claim check](https://reviewstandings.com/gambling-com-canada-checked/). ## Payments, rules and responsible gambling - Payments: one line of methods once read; details in the [payments table](https://reviewstandings.com/payment-methods-by-sportsbook/). - Rules: settlement rules by sport, as the operator states them; not published. - Responsible gambling: limits, breaks and BetGuard self-exclusion for Ontario; what the operator documents is not published. Where a registered Ontario brand ranks on our weights is on the [Ontario standings](https://reviewstandings.com/ontario-sportsbook-standings/) once scores exist. ## How to verify it yourself In Ontario, search the iGaming Ontario list for the brand and the entity name. Then search the AiGC list; a brand that is not there is not registered in Alberta on that day. Compare the entity on the operator's terms with the registry's operator table. If you live in Alberta and the brand is absent from the AiGC list, it is not one to put on your shortlist. ## What we did not check - A fresh Ontario and Alberta reading on the publishing date. - The entity named on the operator's own terms page. - Any rule page, payments page or help page of the operator. - The review pages behind the assistant's statement. We did not open an account. ## How we checked 1. We took the Ontario entity name from our notes of 2026-11-06. 2. We recorded the brand's absence from the Alberta list on that day. 3. We read one assistant answer, marked every sentence a claim and left the review count empty. ## Sources - [iGaming Ontario, regulated market](https://igamingontario.ca/en/player/regulated-igaming-market) - [Alberta iGaming Corporation, registered iGaming sites](https://www.abigaming.ca/operators/registered-igaming-sites/) - [Checking registration in five steps](https://reviewstandings.com/check-sportsbook-registration-ontario-alberta/) ## What changed - 2026-11-13: page created with the Ontario-only record. ## Before you bet Only if you are physically in Ontario. 19+ in Ontario and British Columbia; 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Québec.

The name was matched by us and is re-checked on the publishing date. **Is PointsBet on the Alberta list?** Not found in the registry on 2026-11-06, according to the reading in our notes. We repeat that reading on the publishing date and show the date next to the result. **Why do reviews name PointsBet 'depending on the province'?** That wording comes from an AI assistant and is unverified. It fits the registry pattern: a brand listed in one province's registry is not listed in another's. **Can an Ontario registration be used in other provinces?** No. Status is kept by province, and a registry entry in Ontario says nothing about Alberta, British Columbia, Québec or Manitoba. **Does this page show PointsBet promotions?** No. We do not collect promotions for Ontario or Alberta operators.
