Online casinos in Québec: Loto-Québec, offshore sites and French-language casinos
Québec runs its own online casino through Loto-Québec, and offshore casinos also accept Québec players. Language is the deciding factor for many players, so we've noted which casinos offer a French (Canada) site.
The law in Québec
- Legal age: 18.
- Provincial site: Loto-Québec's online casino at lotoquebec.com.
- Site blocking: In 2016 Québec passed a law requiring internet providers to block unauthorized gambling sites. The Québec Court of Appeal struck it down in 2021 (2021 QCCA 730), finding that it intruded on federal power over telecommunications.
- Private online licensing: none. Offshore casinos that accept Québec players are not regulated by the province.
