Ontario Online Gambling Site PlayOLG Finally Goes Live

January 13, 2015 by

Ontario Online Gambling SiteOnline gambling law in Canada is somewhat complicated, but Ontario has been one of the places leading the way towards making it as accessible as possible for the players. The new PlayOLG Ontario online gambling site is their new portal for players who want to get in on the action, and it comes after a soft launch earlier in late 2014 that gathered feedback from a small group of players to correct any issues that could have come up for the full launch. Now it’s 100 percent ready to go, and anyone in Ontario who is of legal age can get started.

About This Ontario Online Gambling Site

The launch of this site for Ontario is pretty important because every Atlantic province along with Manitoba, Quebec and British Columbia already have their own online gambling portals. Canadian gambling law dictates that all online gambling is illegal except for the games ran by the provinces, though they don’t really enforce this law, and no one has ever been charged or convicted because of it. With that having been said, enforcement could start happening at any time, and it’s important the players have somewhere safe to play if that’s the case.

The Range of Games Offered

Players are going to be able to enjoy a wide range of games through the PlayOLG online portal. This includes classic table games like roulette, Baccarat, blackjack and more on top of a selection of online slots. Players can also order select lottery tickets through this portal. It’s important to note that sports betting services will not be allowed, and this is probably because sports betting law is so odd and atypical in Canada. In short, players are not allowed to bet on individual events; only parlay bets on three or more games is allowed.

The funds from the PlayOLG service will be used for a lot of public projects like hospitals and other services. This effectively lowers the tax burden on citizens and gives players freedom in knowing that they have somewhere safe to play that’s regulated correctly and that always pays out when they are supposed to.
