Only Players are permitted to engage in Draw Based Lottery Games Played Online and Pay-to-Play Games via OLG.ca. An individual wishing to become a Player (an Intending Player ) needs to meet certain criteria determined solely by OLG, including:
The Intending Player must be a resident of Ontario.
The Intending Player must be physically present in Ontario whenever they play any of the Games (including when attempting to register for Future Game Transactions).
The Intending Player must not fall into the category of an Excluded Individual.
The Intending Player must act solely on their own behalf and not represent anyone else, whether as an agent or otherwise.
The Intending Player is required to provide accurate and truthful information during the registration process.
Regarding Sports Betting Games Played Online, the Intending Player must adhere to the stipulations in paragraphs 7(a), (b), (c), and (d) of Section 14.5 every time they engage in any of the Games.
A prospective player who does not meet all the previously mentioned criteria will not be permitted to create an account with OLG.ca or to become a registered player. OLG retains the right to request further details or documentation from an intending player or an existing player before finalizing the account registration process or even afterwards. This could be necessary for verifying the identity of the player or any other contact information and to investigate any potential violations of this agreement, including any suspected fraudulent or unethical behavior. If an intending player cannot meet any of these requirements, it will be considered a significant breach of this agreement.
An intending player wishing to regain access to their account—whether it has been closed, suspended, or deactivated—must follow the specific procedures outlined in Sections 11.1, 12.1, and 12.2, respectively. Approval from OLG is required and is at OLG's absolute discretion.
When a standard player account is registered or when transitioning from a Lite lottery account to a standard player account, OLG will share the registration information of the intending player or player, as necessary. This includes any additional information or documentation provided for authentication purposes with third-party service providers to ensure that the intending player or player meets the previously mentioned criteria for registration or transition. Additionally, OLG may disclose player information to third parties as needed for various purposes, such as confirming the player's ongoing eligibility, investigating any potential breaches of this agreement—including fraud or dishonesty—and exercising OLG's rights as stipulated in this agreement or similar documents referenced in Section 3.
Any information provided by an intending player while registering an account with OLG.ca must be completely accurate, truthful, and up-to-date at the time of submission. It is imperative that this information remains accurate and complete after the player's account is established. If there are any changes to this registration information after the account is created, it is the player's responsibility to ensure compliance with this agreement, and if necessary, to update their information via the 'My Account' or 'Account Information' sections.
OLG may occasionally share a player's registration information with third-party service providers to verify that the player's registration details are correct and up-to-date. Furthermore, OLG may at any time, at its discretion, request additional details and documentation from a player and may share this information with third parties for verification purposes.
You agree that OLG and its third-party service providers are permitted to collect, use, store, and disclose personal information as outlined in the OLG Privacy and Cookie Policy. You also consent to the possibility that this information may be utilized, retained, and disclosed outside of Ontario and Canada. This consent allows for a range of services such as (i) identity verification; (ii) payment processing; (iii) location verification; (iv) analytics; (v) customer relationship management and player support; (vi) email communication; and (vii) technical support.
If a player fails to promptly update their player account information, it will be regarded as a significant violation of this agreement. Should OLG find that any registration details linked to a player's account held in the iGaming System are incorrect, outdated, or incomplete after the account has been established—perhaps because a player's situation changed without the player updating their information—OLG may take necessary actions regarding the player or their account as they see fit. This could involve suspending or deactivating the account, investigating potential security issues, or in cases of suspected or confirmed identity theft or fraud, reporting relevant information to law enforcement or other parties deemed appropriate.
During the registration of a player account, an intending player must establish login credentials. Once the account is registered, the player is fully responsible for the protection and confidentiality of their login credentials, including any related security questions and answers. Players are prohibited from sharing their login credentials with anyone else—this includes other players, potential players, family members, or individuals underage—and only the player is authorized to utilize the login credentials to access their account. Furthermore, players are not allowed to use their login credentials or device biometric authentication to grant anyone else access to their account for any reason. All transactions conducted through a player account after entering valid login credentials (including any actions taken while device biometric authentication is active) will be considered as having been completed by the player, and the player is held accountable for these transactions.
Players can update the password tied to their login credentials whenever they choose by visiting the 'My Account' or 'Account Information' page.
Players have the option to activate device biometric authentication for accessing their player account through their account settings.
Players are responsible for safeguarding any devices used to access OLG.ca, manage device biometric data, or enable biometric authentication. Players understand that enabling this authentication means that any biometric data stored on the device can grant access to their player account. Each instance of using this authentication method will be considered as players affirming that their own biometric data is being utilized and not that of any other individual. OLG does not access or retain biometric data.
OLG is not liable for any direct or indirect damages that may arise from the player's use of, inability to utilize, or activation of device biometric authentication. OLG reserves the right to discontinue biometric authentication at any time without prior notice.
Players are encouraged to install any third-party authenticator app on their mobile devices or desktops from platforms like Google Play or the Apple App Store. This may include popular options like Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile, or Microsoft Authenticator. When a Player decides to download and use one of these applications, they acknowledge that there could be additional terms and conditions associated with its use. It is the Player's responsibility to review these terms before proceeding. OLG will not be held liable for any damages, whether direct or indirect, that arise from downloading or utilizing the chosen third-party application as outlined in Sections 14.1 and 14.2 of this Agreement.
While a Player Account is Suspended:
the complete history of financial transactions tied to the Player Account; and
the comprehensive game-play history linked to the Player Account.
Should a Player identify any discrepancies or errors within their Player Account information or even suspect there might be inaccuracies, it is imperative for the Player to promptly reach out to Player Support, no matter who may be liable for the mistake.
The OLG.ca platform is designed for personal entertainment purposes, strictly discouraging any commercial use. Players are permitted to use their Player Account solely for personal enjoyment. They must refrain from any business, commercial, or public use of OLG.ca or its components, including their Player Account and any provided content. Additionally, Players must not share or display inappropriate content, whether through chat functions or other means, as deemed by OLG, including unsuitable usernames or nicknames, nor engage in threatening or harassing behavior towards other Players.
It is important to note that a Player Account is not considered personal property and cannot be assigned, transferred, or shared with anyone else for any reasons.
To clarify, Players will lose access to Live Streaming if they fail to meet these eligibility criteria.
5 SUBSCRIPTION PLAY FOR FUTURE DRAWS
5.1 OPTIONS FOR SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS
Players have the opportunity to subscribe to certain Draw-Based Lottery Games Played Online, provided they maintain Unutilized Funds or Bonus Funds available in their Player Account, or utilize Direct Pay (availability subject to system conditions) as per the Direct Pay Subscription Terms, while also adhering to the provisions outlined in this Section 5 and the OLG Rules Respecting iGaming Lottery Games.
OLG offers two distinct subscription options: the “consecutive draw” option, which allows Players to automatically purchase a ticket for a specified number of consecutive draws in a Draw-Based Lottery Game Played Online, according to the OLG Rules Respecting iGaming Lottery Games. The number of available consecutive draws ranges from a minimum of two to a maximum specified on OLG.ca; and
the “never miss a draw” option, which enables Players to automatically buy a ticket for an unlimited number of draws in a Draw-Based Lottery Game Played Online, again according to the OLG Rules Respecting iGaming Lottery Games.
A ticket purchase executed by a Player via subscription as detailed in this section is referred to as a Future Game Transaction .

confirm that the Player completes Future Game Transactions in a timely manner, as determined by OLG, to allow for appropriate processing and recording.
Furthermore, in addition to complying with all other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement that are in force at the time, Players must:
6.1 ACCOUNT FUNDING AND DIRECT PAY
If, at the moment a bet, wager, or purchase is being made for a game, a Player Account does not have sufficient funds, or if the Direct Pay card is unsupplied with funds, the bet, wager, or purchase cannot be completed, resulting in the Player being denied entry into the game. The Player bears the full responsibility of ensuring that their account has sufficient funds or that their permitted Direct Pay card is supplied with funds, as appropriate, for all games (including Future Game Transactions). OLG is not obliged to notify Players about any potential insufficiencies in funds or whether their Direct Pay card is funded before rejecting a transaction (though this does not restrict OLG's capacity to make such notifications).
Moreover, with certain exceptions, any monetary Prizes from games played via OLG.ca, including Draw-Based Lottery Games funded through Direct Pay for a Standard Player Account, will be credited to the Player's account as an increase in the account's notional balance. Withdrawal procedures for these Prize funds will adhere to the terms and conditions stipulated in this Agreement. OLG will periodically provide instructions for claiming any non-monetary Prizes.
It's important to note that a Player Account is not owned by the Player and cannot be transferred, assigned, or shared with any other individual for any reason.
To access Live Streaming (dependent on system availability) through their Player Account, Players must initially meet two conditions: (a) remain physically present in Ontario; and (b) satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
Their total Player Account balance must exceed zero (meaning at least one of their Cash Balance or Bonus Funds must be greater than zero);
The Live Streaming pertains to a match, game, competition, or event on which the Player has previously wagered within 336 hours (around 14 days) before accessing the Live Streaming.
Moreover, aside from fulfilling all other terms and conditions set in this Agreement at that time, these Players must:
verify that they possess a valid ticket for the relevant draw as confirmed by the purchase confirmation shown in their Player Account; and
ensure the existence, integrity, and correctness of the information displayed in their Player Account (including all purchase confirmations);
OLG has no obligation to inform Players whether:
6 PLAYER ACCOUNT DEPOSITS AND DIRECT PAY
6.1 ACCOUNT FUNDING AND DIRECT PAY
To participate in Games (excluding Play-for-Free Games) on OLG.ca, a Player must maintain a positive balance in their Standard Player Account. Nonetheless, Players can still buy tickets for Draw-Based Lottery Games online using Direct Pay through their Player Account, provided the feature is available. Direct Pay is exclusively available to Players holding a Player Account, and OLG will not offer credit to Players.
OLG maintains the authority to modify, add, or remove accepted Payment Methods, as well as to alter the related terms and conditions. Players are responsible for checking which Payment Methods are accepted before they begin any transactions with OLG.
It is essential for players to recognize that some credit card companies may categorize the funding of a Player Account as a cash advance, leading to potential fees on such transactions. Any fees associated with cash advances or the use of Payment Methods will fall solely on the Player.
Any credit or debit cards that are used as Payment Methods must be issued in Canada by a recognized Canadian bank or financial institution. Players are allowed to make deposits only using Payment Methods for which they are officially recognized as authorized users according to the standards set by their bank or credit issuer.
OLG does not collect sensitive information such as online banking credentials or passwords.
Whenever a Player employs an accepted Payment Method to deposit funds into their Standard Player Account or to purchase a Draw-Based Lottery Game ticket via Direct Pay, they confirm to OLG that they possess full rights and authority to utilize the credit card, debit card, or funds from the specified bank account, even if these are shared with others or held in another individual’s name.

Provided that the deposit limits established by OLG under Section 6.3 are adhered to, a Player has the option to set, modify, or remove their deposit limits applicable to their Standard Player Account, following the guidelines outlined in the Responsible Gambling and My PlayBreak Policy.
A \" Chargeback \" comes into play when a cardholder reaches out to their bank or card issuer to dispute a transaction made with their credit or debit card, requesting a refund and asking OLG to return the stated funds.
If a Player deposits funds into their Standard Player Account or makes a Direct Pay purchase, and subsequently a Chargeback occurs either partially or fully concerning that transaction, OLG (or any associated third-party providers) may take one or various acties based on their judgment, including:
Pausing the Player Account while any Chargeback-related disputes are resolved as per Section 12.1;
Terminating the Player Account and preventing the Player from accessing games on OLG.ca, effectively classifying them as an Excluded Individual;
Initiating a dispute resolution process with the involved bank or financial institution, which may entail OLG supplying evidence related to the deposit or Chargeback to their payment processing services or a bank.
