Which registered sportsbooks document the most safety tools?
As of 2026-11-13 this page orders four registered sportsbook candidates by one measure: how many of four safety tools each documents on its own pages, namely limits, time-out, self-exclusion and reminders. No operator page has been read yet, so none leads and the order is alphabetical. Gambling involves risk, and a tool does not remove it.

Four candidates and four tools
The names come from assistant answers collected on 2026-11-06. All four were found in the iGaming Ontario and AiGC lists in the registry reading of that day. They remain candidates until each entry is confirmed.

How to read this table
"Not published" means the figure is not yet in our records. The values come by reference from the safety tools slice, and this page adds no new fields.
Bottom line: the tool columns stay empty until each operator page is read and dated.
What Ontario already requires
Ontario (ON) sets a floor. Three AGCO standards matter for this page.
- Standard 2.23: deposit, loss and time limits are offered when a player registers.
- Standard 2.09: registration and account pages carry a responsible-gambling statement, a link and the ConnexOntario number.
- Standard 2.14: an operator may run its own self-exclusion program.
Because of this floor, a high count in Ontario shows more about disclosure than about extra tools. The wording of each standard is re-checked against the AGCO text before a figure is published.
Bottom line: in Ontario every registered operator must offer a base set, so differences are in what is documented beyond it.
Central programs sit above the operators
In Ontario, BetGuard is the central self-exclusion program, run by iGaming Ontario since 2026-05-14. Terms are 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. See the BetGuard page.
In Alberta (AB), the central program is selfexclusion.ca, which covers the registered iGaming sites. For support, Alberta residents can call 211. Ontario's ConnexOntario line is 1-866-531-2600, with text support on 247247.
Bottom line: one central sign-up covers every registered site in its province, so use it rather than operator by operator.
How this fits the standings score
Responsible-gambling tools carry 25 of 100 points in the standings score, the largest single weight in version 1.0. This page isolates that one criterion. The other five criteria and the date of the recalculation are on how the standings score is calculated.
There are no promotional blocks on this page. Gambling involves risk. Play responsibly. 19+ in Ontario and British Columbia; 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Québec. See help lines by province.
What we could not check
- Operator pages: not yet read for the four candidates.
- How easy a tool is to find or set: we did not test any product.
- Public platforms (PlayNow, Mise-o-jeu+, Proline+): they are covered on their own review pages.
- Tools in provinces other than Ontario and Alberta: not confirmed as of 2026-11-13.
How we check
- Open each operator's responsible-gambling page on a stated date.
- Record each of the four tools as documented or not, with the page address.
- Order by the count, then alphabetically, and match each operator to the registries.

FAQ
How is the order on this page decided?
By the number of tools that an operator documents on its own pages, out of four: limits, time-out, self-exclusion and reminders. No operator has been read yet, so the order is alphabetical.
Does a longer list mean a safer sportsbook?
No. The count shows what is documented, not how well a tool works or how easy it is to find. Whether you use a tool is up to you, and the tools do not remove the risk of losing money.
What does Ontario require operators to offer?
Ontario's standard 2.23 has limits offered at registration, and standard 2.09 puts a responsible-gambling statement, a link and the ConnexOntario number on registration and account pages. Standard 2.14 covers operator self-exclusion programs.
What is BetGuard?
BetGuard is Ontario's central self-exclusion program, run by iGaming Ontario since 2026-05-14. Terms are 6 months, 1 year or 5 years.
Where do I exclude myself in Alberta?
Through selfexclusion.ca, the central program of Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis. For support, you can call 211.
