KingPari across Canada: province by province

How online casinos are regulated in Canada

The Criminal Code leaves gambling to the provinces: each one runs its own lottery corporation and decides whether private online casinos may operate there and on what terms. KingPari is licensed by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan (licence ALSI-202504033-FI2) and holds no provincial registration. In practice that means a province does not supervise it, and a dispute can be taken to the casino and then to its Anjouan licensing authority, not to a Canadian regulator.

Ontario: this site is not for you

Ontario runs an open, regulated market: private online casinos may offer games to people in the province only after registering with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and signing an agreement with iGaming Ontario. Offshore casinos without that registration may not be promoted to Ontario players, so kingpari.games is not intended for anyone located in Ontario. If you live there, choose an operator from the list of registered operators published by iGaming Ontario.

Alberta: a regulated market of its own

Alberta now runs its own regulated online market. Private operators register with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) and sign commercial agreements with the Alberta iGaming Corporation; the province has said that operators without registration must stop accepting Alberta players and that it will act against them. An offshore licence such as KingPari's Anjouan licence is not an Alberta registration, so players in Alberta should check AGLC's published list of registered operators before signing up anywhere; the registered sites are the option with provincial oversight.

The other provinces and territories

In these regions the provincial site is the licensed option and offshore casinos such as KingPari operate without a provincial licence. Playing offshore means the protections of a provincial operator, such as its complaint process and its links to provincial support services, do not apply.

Age: KingPari's 18 versus your province

KingPari accepts players from 18, but its terms say a higher local age applies: if your province sets 19, you must be 19. Verification checks your date of birth against your ID, and an underage account is closed with its winnings voided.

VPNs and travelling

KingPari's terms forbid hiding your location with a VPN, proxy or remote desktop. Playing while travelling to a place where online gambling is banned, or masking your location, can get the account closed and winnings voided. Play from where you actually are, and only if gambling is allowed there.

Taxes on winnings

In Canada, casino winnings of recreational players are generally not taxed as income. People who gamble as a business can be treated differently. If you have large wins or play very regularly, ask a tax professional about your own situation.
