Sports betting
Registered sportsbooks
Ontario is the only Canadian province where you can bet with a licensed private book rather than only with the province's own. That choice is worth money: the spread between the sharpest and the softest price on a single hockey game is wide enough to decide a season.

The provincial book
Proline+ is run by OLG under provincial authority rather than through an iGO operating agreement, which is why it sits slightly outside the register proper. Its money is as safe as money gets and its prices are the worst you will find on any licensed platform in the province. Both of those statements are true at once, and which matters more depends entirely on how often you bet.
Being limited
Several registered books restrict accounts that win consistently, cutting maximum stakes to a few dollars without closing the account. This is legal, it is not a registration matter, and the Registrar has no view on it. If you intend to bet seriously it will happen to you, and the books where it happens fastest are the ones with the largest advertising budgets.
