Quebec online gambling: market status
Online gambling in Quebec is run by Loto-Québec, with no license for private operators. Both the Parti Québécois and the Liberals backed a regulated private market before the October 2026 election, so reform is now on the agenda.
Where Quebec stands
Today
Loto-Québec operates online gambling; private operators cannot be licensed.
Proposals
The Liberal proposal would require provincial accreditation of platforms and extend the RACJ’s mandate to the whole sector.
Election
The October 5, 2026 election left the Parti Québécois leading; both main parties back regulation.
- No bill had been introduced as of October 2026. We track the legislative process and prepare clients for registration once rules are published.
- Kahnawake, a First Nations regulator located in Quebec, licenses online gaming separately; see the Kahnawake page.
