Curling, skiing and the Olympics: what you can bet on and where
Canadian sportsbooks publish markets on some winter sports and events, but we have not yet read an operator page that lists which ones. This page covers curling, skiing and the Olympics: how tournament bets settle, what to check about participants' ages, and where availability stays unconfirmed. The 2026 Winter Games have ended. No operator is shown as offering these markets until its own page says so.

Which winter events have markets
The table lists what we set out to check. Each cell stays empty of claims until an operator page is read.
| Sport or event | Operator market list | Page address | Date read | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curling (Brier, Scotties) | Not published | Not published | — | Not confirmed |
| Alpine skiing | Not published | Not published | — | Not confirmed |
| Winter Olympics | Not published | Not published | — | 2026 Games ended; next Games not checked |
| IIHF tournaments | Not published | Not published | — | See the World Juniors page |
Every row is a gap on purpose. A market that cannot be traced to an operator page does not go into the table.
Bottom line: no operator is listed here as covering these sports, because no operator page has been read yet.
How tournament bets settle
Most winter bets fall into two kinds. One is a single match or race. The other is a futures bet, a wager on who wins a whole tournament or season.
A futures bet pays only after the final result is published. Rules for a withdrawn team or athlete are the operator's own, so we do not assume one. See what a futures bet is.
For curling dates and formats, go to the Brier and Scotties page.
Events with young participants
Some events, such as junior hockey, involve participants under 18. Our reference notes contain no regulator rule on offering bets on those events, and AGCO Standard 2.03, as we have it, concerns advertising audiences.
We therefore state no rule here. The World Juniors page tracks the question.
What to check before you bet
- The market is listed on the operator's own page, with the sport named.
- The operator is registered in your province on the date you read it.
- The rule page says how a withdrawal, a postponement or a shortened event is settled.
- You know your province's age limit: see betting rules by province.
- You have set limits before staking, and you stay within them.
How we checked
- We listed the winter sports and events named for this page: curling, skiing, the Olympics and IIHF events.
- We looked for operator market lists and rule pages for each. We found none in our current notes.
- We left every unsupported cell as not published, and noted that the 2026 Games are over.

FAQ
Can you bet on curling in Canada?
We have not yet found an operator page that lists curling markets, so we cannot say who offers them. The table on this page stays at not published until a page of the operator names the market and we record its address and date.
Are the Winter Olympics open for betting?
The 2026 Winter Games have ended, so nothing is open on them now. For the next Games we will record which operators list markets and read their settlement rules before the event.
How is a tournament-winner bet settled?
It is a futures bet: it settles when the event ends, on the result the organiser publishes. What happens if an entry withdraws differs by operator, so read that operator's own rule page before staking.
Does the province matter?
Yes. Operators appear only where they are registered or authorized in the province you pick, and the age limit differs: 19+ in Ontario and British Columbia, 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Québec.
