Who runs it

The New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation conducts and manages provincial gaming. It is a Crown corporation, set up on June 26, 2008. Atlantic Lottery runs video lottery, ticket lottery and online gaming on its behalf. The four Atlantic provinces own Atlantic Lottery, and New Brunswick is one of them.

In the province's words, ALC.ca is the only legal and regulated online gambling platform in New Brunswick. Atlantic Lottery says other gambling sites cannot legally operate or advertise in Atlantic Canada. Overseas licences, it adds, do not change this. The statement covers Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as well, since both are part of Atlantic Canada.

No provincial licensing or registration scheme for private online casinos was found in New Brunswick. Ontario, by contrast, has one. A licence held abroad by a private site is not, in Atlantic Lottery's view, a permission to operate here.

What ALC.ca offers

ALC.ca offers Digital Instants, iBingo and iCasino. Its Live Casino games are listed as available in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. New Brunswick is not named in that list. A reader in Halifax or Charlottetown will find their own province on it.

Every Atlantic Lottery product, ALC.ca included, is 19+ to buy, play or redeem.

In 2023-24, ALC.ca brought in $28.6 million in New Brunswick. Of that, $24.1 million came from iCasino. Those figures cover New Brunswick alone. The same year, the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation reported a rise in online gambling. The rise ran through regulated and unregulated platforms alike.

Questions

Which online gambling site does the province regulate?

The province says ALC.ca is the only legal and regulated online gambling platform in New Brunswick. Atlantic Lottery runs it for the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation.

Does Take a Break cover other online casinos?

Take a Break is an ALC.ca tool and does not reach other sites. It gives a short break of 1 to 90 days or a long break of 6, 12, 24 or 36 months. Neither the player nor ALC can reverse it. It does not apply at the private casino this guide links to.

Do inner pages of this guide carry paid links?

Inner pages carry no paid links. The three paid links, each marked Ad, appear on the home page alone. The site earns a commission from them, and the partner can change.
