Every sportsbook we review, grouped by where it is registered
This page groups the sportsbooks Review Standings covers by where each one is registered: in both Ontario and Alberta, in Ontario only, in Alberta only, or as a provincial operator in British Columbia, Manitoba and Québec. Registration comes from the iGaming Ontario registry, the Alberta AiGC list and official operator pages. A brand appears on a province's page only if that province lists it.

Takeaway: the private-operator groups are empty until each registry lookup is done and dated. We do not fill them from review lists.
Candidates waiting for a registry check
Profiles start with five candidates: bet365, FanDuel, BetMGM, DraftKings and BET99. Each one is a candidate, and its licence is subject to confirmation.
A second wave follows, again only for brands found in a registry: ToonieBet, Sports Interaction, TonyBet, PointsBet, Pinnacle, Betway, BetRivers, theScore Bet and Proline+.
Brands that reviews name but that are missing from the Ontario and Alberta lists are not shown by name. A page can report only a count, such as how many of five named brands were not found on a given date.
What a profile contains
- Facts: registration in Ontario and Alberta with a date, the legal entity, provinces served, payment methods, app availability, responsible-gambling tools and support.
- What reviews say: how many review sites place the brand in their top five.
- Rules the operator publishes: sports rules, in the operator's own words.
- Regulator record: the registry entry and its date.
- What we did not check: listed on every profile.
Read how the review side works on the reviews checked page, and the criteria on the comparison page.
How we checked
- We opened the registry or provincial page for each group and noted the date shown, if any.
- We left a cell as "Not confirmed" when no listing could be matched to a legal entity.
- We kept bonus and promotion terms out of every profile.

FAQ
Why are operators grouped by registry rather than by rank?
Registration decides where a brand may be shown at all. A brand listed in Ontario can work differently elsewhere, so we sort by province first and apply criteria only inside each group.
Does a profile mean we ran the product ourselves?
No. A profile reports what the registry, the operator's own pages and review sites say. We did not test any product, and each profile says what we did not check.
What happens if a brand is not found in a registry?
It gets no profile for that province. The registry cell reads 'Not found in the registry on' followed by the date, and the profile stays in reserve until a listing is confirmed.
