Online Play and Shorelines Casino Belleville

The online casino market in Ontario is regulated. Before taking players, a private site needs registration from the AGCO, which is the regulator. It also needs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. iGaming Ontario publishes a directory of authorized sites, so any name can be looked up there before play. OLG.ca is separate from the private sites, being the government-run online casino.

Two conditions depend on the player, not the site. A player has to be 19 or older and has to be physically in Ontario during play. Anyone spending the evening in Picton or Brighton satisfies the second. Any site accepting Ontario players without registration from the AGCO is not operating legally in Ontario.

BetGuard, found at betguard.ca, is the opt-out tool from iGaming Ontario. A single request removes a person from every Ontario site offering regulated online gambling at the same time, including OLG.ca. Lengths on offer: 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, or a custom term. It does not extend to the casino on Bell Boulevard or to any casino people walk into.

That is the job of My PlayBreak, OLG's self-exclusion program. A casino break lasts 3 or 6 months or 1 to 5 years, bars entry to every Ontario casino and cannot be changed once chosen. Sign-up runs through the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098, casino staff or a PlaySmart Centre.

Bay Hours is a guide to evenings out rather than a casino, so there are no bets and no accounts. Paid links, each labelled Ad, show up only on the home page. They number three: a header button, a block right below the first screen and another block close to the bottom of the page.

Each of the three points to a single private online casino partner, which pays Bay Hours a commission and may change. This partner is not OLG.ca and has no connection with Shorelines Casino Belleville or Great Canadian Entertainment.
