Canada Casino City’s North American Gaming Almanac 19 Canada Canadian gaming has been administered and regulated at the provincial level since 1969. There are various regulations for each province, but in general, Canadians can avail themselves of all the major forms of gambling, including casinos (commercial, tribal and charitable), lotteries, pari-mutuel wagering, parlay sports betting, online gaming and charitable gaming. The gaming industry saw significant growth during the 1990s, when provincial governments began legalizing permanent casinos and VLTs. British Columbia became the first province to offer an online casino when it launched PlayNow.com in 2010. Several more offer it now. For some time, only parlay betting on sports was legal, with singlegame sports betting banned at the federal level. In 2012, the House of Commons passed legislation that would allow betting on single games. In March 2021, the Canadian Parliament committee unanimously passed an amended bill to legalize single-game sports betting in the country. 2022 Revenue 2022 Change in Total Gaming Revenue Revenue by Gaming Activity Revenue in Millions CAD 2019 2020 2021 2022 Casino/Card Rooms 8,335.04 3,551.53 4,693.44 7,830.74 Charitable Gaming 778.83 416.11 383.69 510.61 Lotteries 4,019.96 4,008.20 4,159.08 4,155.98 Online Gaming 243.90 621.64 871.58 1,485.81 Race Wagering 295.68 240.92 252.67 283.04 Sports Betting 0.00 0.00 21.36 58.54 Tribal Gaming 247.95 123.75 159.19 247.68 Total 13,921.36 8,962.15 10,541.02 14,572.41 Revenue Change from Prior Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 Casino/Card Rooms -9.27% -57.39% 32.15% 66.84% Charitable Gaming -10.04% -46.57% -7.79% 33.08% Lotteries -2.21% -0.29% 3.76% -0.07% Online Gaming 29.91% 154.88% 40.21% 70.47% Race Wagering -3.05% -18.52% 4.88% 12.02% Sports Betting 174.06% Tribal Gaming 3.22% -50.09% 28.64% 55.59% All Gaming Activities -6.54% -35.62% 17.62% 38.24% Revenue in US Dollars Revenue in Millions USD 2019 2020 2021 2022 Casino/Card Rooms 6,285.00 2,650.19 3,751.71 6,004.77 Charitable Gaming 587.24 310.54 306.33 391.86 Lotteries 3,031.29 2,991.77 3,318.63 3,195.41 Online Gaming 183.95 464.06 695.72 1,131.34 Race Wagering 222.97 179.83 201.59 217.60 Sports Betting 0.00 0.00 17.10 44.80 Tribal Gaming 186.98 92.35 127.21 189.99 Total 10,497.43 6,688.74 8,418.30 11,175.76
