- Key facts
- Loto-Québec monopoly (•••, 18+: slot machines, tables, live casino, poker). During the Quebec election campaign of September 2026, the PLQ undertook to table, in the first year of its term, a bill regulating private platforms (extension of the mandate of the RACJ), and the PQ announced a similar commitment; the CAQ had voted in 2025, at its convention, in favour of strict rules. The Coalition québécoise du jeu en ligne [Quebec Online Gaming Coalition] calls for an Ontario-style licensing model; Loto-Québec is said to capture only 17% of the market. No framework adopted as at 25 September 2026. The blocking of sites by ISPs (2016 law) has been struck down by the courts.
What a player risks
Online casino games in this market are reserved to the state operator. No other site is licensed to offer them, and a licence issued elsewhere, offshore or foreign, does not make play legal where the offer is reserved to a monopoly. A site outside the monopoly is not supervised by the local regulator: its players have no access to that regulator's protection or dispute resolution, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on local law, using such a site may also lead to fines or prosecution. The register records for Quebec, Canada: Offshore is illegal on the operator side but very accessible (Kahnawake is an enclave within Quebec territory). The Criminal Code (sections 206-207) reserves gambling to the provinces; the player is not prosecuted for gambling on an offshore site, but the unauthorised operator is illegal.
