Online casinos in British Columbia
This page is for players in British Columbia. It covers who runs legal gambling in the province, where offshore casinos fit, how to check one before you sign up, and where to get help. It does not cover Ontario or Alberta, which run their own regulated online markets.
40 of the 42 casinos on our Canadian list are on this page. Our rule: a casino is listed only if we read the restricted-territories list in its own terms and British Columbia is not on it. We checked the official sources and the casinos' terms on October 20 and 21, 2026. A casino on this list is not licensed by British Columbia or by any other province.
19+ in British Columbia. T&Cs apply. Not available in Ontario or Alberta. SpinsPilot may earn a commission from casinos on this page; see our affiliate disclosure.

Who runs legal gambling in British Columbia
Gambling in Canada is set by the Criminal Code, and the Code leaves it to the provinces. Section 207(1)(a) allows the government of a province, alone or with another province, to "conduct and manage" lottery schemes in that province. Under section 207(4)(c), charities, fairs and other licensees may not run games on or through a computer, so online gambling under the Code is for the province itself to conduct and manage.
In British Columbia, the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) manages all commercial gambling, including casinos and online gambling, for the provincial government. B.C.'s new Gaming Control Act (SBC 2022, c. 29), in force since April 13, 2026, makes the lottery corporation responsible for the conduct and management of provincial gaming.
BCLC's online site is PlayNow.com. BCLC describes it as the official gaming site for residents of British Columbia, available only to players located in B.C. It offers lottery games, casino games such as slots, table games and jackpots, live casino, sports betting, poker and bingo.
The regulator is the Independent Gambling Control Office (IGCO). When the new Act came into force, the province moved the former Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (GPEB) into the IGCO. The IGCO regulates all commercial gambling, charitable gambling and horse racing in B.C.
Where offshore casinos fit
The casinos on our list are not run or licensed by British Columbia. They operate from outside Canada, with a licence issued elsewhere, for example in Curaçao or Anjouan, or with no licence we could verify. The Independent Gambling Control Office does not license or supervise them, and they have no link to BCLC. If something goes wrong, a provincial regulator cannot resolve a dispute you have with one of them; your route is the casino's own complaints process and, where there is one, the body that issued its licence.
Whether federal or provincial law reaches an individual who plays at an offshore site is a legal question this page does not answer. We are not lawyers, and nothing here is legal advice. What we can do is show what each casino publishes about itself, and what we could and could not check.
Alternatives to PlayNow.com: what to compare
BCLC's PlayNow.com is the option British Columbia runs under its own rules, with the province's limits and self-exclusion. If you are looking at an offshore casino instead, compare it on points you can check yourself, not on its advertising:
- A licence in a public register. Find the licence number on the casino's site, then look for the same number, company and website in the regulator's own register. A seal or a number on its own proves little. Our guide to casino licences shows how to check.
- Interac on the casino's own pages. Look for Interac e-Transfer in the footer, on the payments page or in the cashier, and check whether it is offered for withdrawals as well as deposits. Our Interac casinos page lists the casinos that show it on their own site.
- Canadian dollars. An account in CAD saves a currency conversion on every deposit and withdrawal.
- Published terms you can read. The restricted-territories clause, withdrawal limits, verification rules and the games blocked for Canada should all be in the terms before you sign up. If the terms do not load, count that against the casino.
- Tools you can set yourself. Deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and reality checks in your account, not only by email to support.
- Complaints. A pattern of delayed withdrawals or ignored self-exclusion requests on public complaint sites tells you more than a single review.
Our top-rated casinos page and each casino's review apply these checks, and how we rate casinos explains the scoring. Offers are left out of this page on purpose; each casino's current offer and its terms are on its page on our site.
Which casinos on our list accept players from British Columbia
Our rule is strict. A casino is on this page only if we read the restricted-territories list in its own terms and conditions, and British Columbia is not on it. Review sites do not count, however many of them say a casino accepts B.C. players. We read the terms on October 20 and 21, 2026.
40 of the 42 casinos pass that test: Art Casino, BEEF, Betrepublic, Casabet, Casinia, Casinostars, Cleobetra, Flagman, FS Casino, FUGU, GGBet, HitnSpin, Irwin, iWild, Kingmaker, Lollyspins, Malina, Martin, Mino Casino, MyEmpire, Needforspin, Neon54, Pandido, Pistolo, Pribet, Rabona, Real Spin, RioAce, Rolling Slots, RTBET, Slotoro, Slots Palace, Snatch, Spinanga, Spinbara, Spinit, Spinlander, Thor, Verde and Winmega.
Two are left out because we could not read their lists: Tonybet and Vavada. Tonybet's Canadian terms did not load for us, and Vavada's site refused our request. That does not mean they refuse British Columbia, only that we could not confirm it from their own terms.
Games blocked in B.C.: the terms of BEEF, Flagman, FUGU, Irwin and Martin say NetEnt games are not available in British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec. That limits the games, not the account, so these five stay on the list. Many other casinos here block NetEnt and a few other titles for Canada as a whole.
Being on this list means only that a casino's terms do not refuse British Columbia. It does not mean the casino is licensed in B.C. or in Canada. Some terms also let the casino refuse players from other places at its own discretion, or bar players where gambling is prohibited, so the sign-up form and the cashier have the final word. Every casino we cover is on our all casinos page.
Age, help and self-exclusion in British Columbia
The legal age is 19. The Government of B.C. says you must be 19 or older to gamble in the province, and that includes online gambling. An offshore casino sets its own minimum age in its terms, which may be lower; SpinsPilot's rule for British Columbia is 19+.
Help line: Gambling Support BC, the province's responsible and problem gambling program, answers free and confidential calls 24/7 at 1-888-795-6111.
Self-exclusion: BCLC's program is called Game Break. You choose 6 months, 1 year, 2 years or 3 years; the term starts when you enrol and cannot be cancelled or shortened. Since March 25, 2024 it covers all facilities with slot machines, all commercial bingo, and all online gambling on PlayNow.com, the BC Lotto! app and the PlayNow BC Sportsbook app. You can enrol in person at a casino, community gaming centre or bingo hall, by video call, or online from your PlayNow account. To return, you complete a course and a return-to-play form.
Self-exclusion at an offshore casino is separate from the province's programs: excluding yourself from PlayNow.com does not block you at the casinos on this page, and the other way round. At an offshore casino, ask support in writing and keep the confirmation. Our self-exclusion guide covers each province, and our responsible gambling page covers the warning signs and how to set limits. Free, confidential help lines for every province and territory are in the footer of this page.
Taxes on winnings: the general rule
This is general information, not tax advice. The Canada Revenue Agency lists lottery winnings among the amounts that are not reported or taxed, unless the prize can be considered income from employment, a business or property. Its income tax folio on lottery winnings and gambling says that gambling, even when frequent, is not generally regarded as a commercial activity except under very exceptional circumstances. Interest you earn on winnings you invest must be reported. The same federal rules apply in British Columbia. Our guide to tax on gambling winnings explains the rule in more detail; for your own situation, the CRA pages are the source.
Paying from British Columbia
Interac e-Transfer from your own Canadian bank account is the first method to look for in a casino's cashier. You start the deposit in the casino's cashier and approve it in your bank's app, and your bank's sending limit applies. Interac Online was retired in 2024 and InstaDebit closed in 2026, so a casino that still lists them is out of date. Our Interac e-Transfer guide covers deposits, withdrawals and bank blocks step by step.
Other provinces and territories
Each province runs its own legal gambling, so the rules, the age and the help line change at the border. Our other province pages: Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and our territory pages: Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Ontario and Alberta run their own regulated online markets, and this site does not serve them.
Frequently asked questions
Is online gambling legal in British Columbia?
Under the Criminal Code, provinces conduct and manage gambling. In British Columbia, BCLC manages all commercial gambling, including online gambling, through PlayNow.com. The casinos on our list are based outside Canada and are not licensed in B.C. Whether the law reaches an individual player at an offshore site is a legal question we do not answer here; nothing on this page is legal advice.
What is the legal gambling age in British Columbia?
The legal gambling age in British Columbia is 19, as in most provinces; only Quebec and Manitoba set 18. The Government of B.C. says it includes online gambling. Offshore casinos set their own minimum age in their terms, sometimes 18. SpinsPilot's rule for British Columbia is 19+.
Which casinos on your list accept players from British Columbia?
40 of the 42 casinos on our list, because their own terms list restricted territories that we read, and British Columbia is not among them. Tonybet and Vavada are left out because we could not read their restricted-territories lists. Being listed does not mean a casino is licensed in British Columbia or in Canada, and five of them block NetEnt games in British Columbia.
How do I self-exclude in British Columbia?
Use BCLC's Game Break: 6 months, 1, 2 or 3 years, covering PlayNow.com, BCLC's apps, slot facilities and bingo. Enrol in person, by video call or from your PlayNow account; it cannot be cancelled once started. Game Break does not reach offshore casinos: at those, ask support for a self-exclusion and keep the written confirmation. Gambling Support BC is at 1-888-795-6111, 24/7.
Do I pay tax on casino winnings in British Columbia?
As a general rule, no. The Canada Revenue Agency lists lottery winnings among amounts that are not taxed, unless the prize can be considered income from employment, a business or property, and its folio on gambling says it is not generally a commercial activity except under very exceptional circumstances. Interest you earn on winnings is taxable. This is general information for British Columbia readers, not tax advice; see the CRA page and our guide to tax on winnings.
