Ontario launches centralized gambling self-exclusion system covering all regulated gaming operators

Ontario residents can now block themselves from every regulated online gambling platform in the province through a single self-exclusion system launched Thursday (May 14). The new service, called BetGuard, is available to people aged 19 and older and covers all provincially regulated operators, including the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s online products. Instead of visiting multiple gambling sites separately, users can complete the process through one standalone portal.
