Age requirements
The legal gambling age is 19+ in most provinces, and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec.

A note on offshore online casinos
The online casinos reviewed on this site operate offshore and are not regulated by Canadian provincial authorities. Provincial self-exclusion programmes do not extend to them. Treat them with the caution that offshore status warrants.
