Start by checking your province and preparing identity documents for registration, because location and verification determine which DraftKings products you can use. DraftKings is open to players in Ontario, where the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) with iGaming Ontario is the regulator. The minimum age is 19 in Ontario and 18 in Alberta.
Which DraftKings products fit your province?
DraftKings is a stronger fit if you want Ontario sports betting or Alberta casino access. Its sportsbook operates in Ontario, while live casino is offered in Alberta. Casino categories include slots, blackjack, roulette and live-dealer games.
Ontario players can use pre-match betting, which is available in Canada, and Alberta also has in-play betting. Check the provincial availability and licence information before registering, because product access varies by province.
What should you know about the Alberta casino offer?
The 1000 FLEX SPINS + Two-Day Replay offer is for new casino players who are physically present in Alberta. It includes 1000 FLEX SPINS, described as 50 Spins for 20 days on 100+ slots, plus Two-Day Replay with Up to C$1,000 Back in Credits.
The 1000 FLEX SPINS + Two-Day Replay offer requires a minimum of C$5 in wagers, is for players aged 18 or over, and has eligibility restrictions. Those conditions mean your location, age and wagering activity must meet the offer terms before it applies.
Which banking methods and withdrawal rules matter?
Players in Alberta and Ontario hold their DraftKings balance in CAD. Deposits can be made with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express (credit only), PayPal and Interac, while the minimum deposit is C$5.
| Reader question | Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Which deposit methods are unavailable? | Online Banking, DraftKings Gift Card, Cash, Wire transfer, PayPal Credit and PayPal’s Pay in 4 cannot be used to deposit. | Choose one of the listed deposit methods instead. |
| Which withdrawal methods are offered? | PayPal, Cheque, Debit and Credit Cards and Interac. | Your preferred deposit method may not be available for withdrawal. |
| When can I request a withdrawal? | You may request one at any time, but every withdrawal method requires an initial deposit through that method. | Make the relevant deposit first, then request the withdrawal. |
| How long do withdrawals take? | In Alberta and Ontario, withdrawal times are within five (5) business days. | Requests are processed in the order received, and DraftKings cannot expedite them. |
| What happens with an Interac withdrawal? | A prior C$5+ Interac deposit is required; after requesting the withdrawal, you must accept an external email from Interac/PayDirect in a timely manner. | If the funds are not accepted after 7 business days, they return to your DraftKings wallet. |
| What account must receive the funds? | The bank account used for withdrawals must be in your name, and business banking accounts cannot be used to deposit or withdraw. | Use a personal account that matches your details. |
| Can funds move between provinces? | Deposits go to the provincial wallet based on where you are when depositing and cannot be transferred between provincial wallets. | Those deposited funds can only be used for play within that same province, although eligible CAD funds can be withdrawn regardless of which provincial wallet holds them. |
Promotional deposits, credits and other bonuses cannot be withdrawn until the appropriate promotion terms are achieved. DraftKings may process a withdrawal back to the original payment source, and withdrawals may be cancelled because of limited gameplay under its Terms of Use.
Cheque withdrawals go to the verified name and address on the account and cannot be sent to a P.O. box. Cheques equal to or over C$100 are sent via FedEx, while those less than C$100 are sent via Canada Post; after mailing, a tracking number is sent by email for amounts greater than C$100. Cheque requests are processed within ten (10) business days.
What account checks and conditions come before play?
Ontario players must verify their identity when registering, and DraftKings may request identity documents and proof of address at any time afterwards. Examples among the at least 7 accepted documents include a Driver's License, Bank statements and Communications invoices.
If DraftKings cannot validate your identity and account, it will not release funds. An account in Alberta or Ontario may become “Dormant” after three (3) years without a login; DraftKings will tell you the remaining balance and may close the account if you do not respond, while you remain entitled to recover that balance.

Cash Out is available on select sports for pre-game, live, future and parlay bets. This feature lets you settle an eligible bet before its underlying event is complete, subject to its availability on that bet.
What casino games are available?
You can find slots, blackjack, roulette and live-dealer games among the casino categories. Alberta players also have access to live casino, so province is important when choosing between standard casino games and live-dealer play.
