1. About Betting Sites CA
1.1Betting Sites CA is an independent information website that reviews and compares online sports betting sites available to people in Canada, covering odds, welcome bonuses, payment methods, mobile apps, licensing and player-protection features, as well as the casino products that some of them also offer.
1.2We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept bets, hold player funds, open betting accounts or offer any gambling product. Any wager you place is placed on a third-party operator’s website or app, under that operator’s own terms.
1.3In these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Betting Sites CA; “you” means any visitor to the Website; “Operator” means a third-party betting business featured on the Website; and “Content” means all text, ratings, comparisons, odds, graphics, logos and other material on the Website.
2. Eligibility
2.1The Website is intended for adults only. You must be at least the legal gambling age in your province or territory to use it: 19 in most provinces and territories, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Some Operators set a higher minimum age.
2.2Our Content is aimed at people located in Canada. Online betting rules differ between provinces and change over time. You are responsible for making sure that betting is lawful where you live and that an Operator is authorised to serve residents of your province or territory.
2.3If you are under the legal gambling age, please leave the Website. Parents and guardians can find help with blocking tools on our Responsible Gambling page.
3. Affiliate disclosure and commercial relationships
3.1We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you click certain links and then register, deposit or place a bet with an Operator, we may receive a commission or other payment from that Operator. This never adds to the price you pay.
3.2These arrangements may influence which Operators are featured and the order in which offers appear. We aim to base our ratings and written reviews on our own review criteria, described in the “How We Rank the Best Betting Sites in Canada” section of our homepage, and to make clear which content is promotional.
3.3A link, listing, rating or bonus on the Website is not a guarantee, warranty or personal endorsement of any Operator, and it does not create a partnership, agency or employment relationship between us and that Operator.
4. Accuracy of information, odds and bonuses
4.1We work to keep our Content accurate and up to date. However, odds, bonuses, promotional terms, fees, licences and availability are controlled by Operators and change frequently, often without notice. Content is provided for general information only.
4.2Odds and lines shown on the Website are illustrative and may differ from what an Operator displays when you place a bet. Before you register or deposit, always check the Operator’s live odds and full bonus terms, including wagering requirements, minimum odds, expiry dates, maximum bonus amounts and eligible provinces.
4.3If you spot an error, please tell us at [email protected]. We review reports promptly and correct confirmed mistakes.
5. No betting, financial or legal advice
5.1Previews, predictions, tips and comparisons are opinion and are provided for information and entertainment. They are not financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. No outcome is ever guaranteed, and betting always carries a risk of losing money.
5.2You are solely responsible for your own decisions. Only bet what you can comfortably afford to lose.
6. Third-party websites and Operators
6.1The Website contains links to websites and apps that we do not own or control. Your dealings with any Operator, including registration, deposits, bonuses, wagers, withdrawals and disputes, are strictly between you and that Operator, under its terms, privacy policy and applicable law.
6.2We are not responsible for the content, availability, products, conduct or policies of third-party sites. We encourage you to check an Operator’s licence and player-protection details for your province before you sign up.
6.3Regulatory status differs between Operators. Some hold Canadian registrations, such as those issued through the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario. Others are licensed by foreign authorities, such as Curaçao or Anjouan, and are not regulated by a Canadian provincial regulator. Using an Operator outside Canadian regulation is not illegal for players, but it usually means fewer protections and less recourse if something goes wrong. Where we can verify it, our reviews state which licence an Operator holds, and we recommend that you confirm it yourself.
7. Acceptable use
7.1When using the Website you agree not to:
- use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms;

- interfere with the security, integrity or operation of the Website, or try to gain unauthorised access to it;
- upload or transmit malware or any other harmful code;

9. Feedback and messages you send us
9.1If you send us feedback, corrections or suggestions, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to use them to improve the Website, without any obligation to you. Please do not send unlawful material or confidential information. We handle personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
10.1To the extent permitted by law, the Website and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.
11. Limitation of liability
11.1To the fullest extent permitted by law, Betting Sites CA, its owners, editors, contributors and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of winnings, deposits, profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Website or its Content, or from your dealings with any Operator.
11.2To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Website is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD 100).
11.3Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, or affects any consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law, including those under Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act.

13. Responsible gambling
13.1Gambling is a form of entertainment that carries risk. It is not a source of income. Set a budget and time limits, never chase losses, and take regular breaks. Our Responsible Gambling page lists self-exclusion options and free, confidential helplines in every province and territory.
15. Changes to the Website and these Terms
15.1We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when they last changed, and we will post a notice on the Website for material changes.
15.2By continuing to use the Website after an update, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website.
16. Complaints
16.1If you have a complaint about the Website or its Content, email [email protected] with the page address and a description of the issue. We acknowledge complaints within 3 business days and aim to give a full response within 15 business days.
16.2We are not a party to your dealings with an Operator and cannot resolve disputes with them or require them to pay winnings. For a problem with an Operator, contact that Operator first. If it is not resolved, you can escalate to the regulator that licenses it: in Ontario, iGaming Ontario and the AGCO; elsewhere in Canada, the responsible provincial regulator or lottery corporation; and for an Operator licensed abroad, the licensing authority named in its terms.
17. Governing law and disputes
17.1These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, without limiting any right you may have under mandatory consumer law to bring proceedings in the courts of your province of residence, including Quebec.
18. General
18.1If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Website.
18.2The parties have expressly required that these Terms and all related documents be drafted in English. Les parties ont expressément exigé que les présentes conditions et tous les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
