Unibet withdrew from Ontario in March 2024 as part of its parent company’s exit from North America, and sources disagree on whether it still serves the rest of Canada, so we explain what is confirmed and where to play instead.
This page used to be a standard review of Unibet Casino. It no longer is, because we cannot confirm that Unibet is available to Canadian players at all. What follows is what we know, what we do not, and where to play instead.
Quick take: Unibet is definitely not available in Ontario. It left the province in March 2024. Whether it still accepts players elsewhere in Canada is disputed, and we were unable to settle it. Until that changes, we do not recommend it, and we suggest one of the verified alternatives below.
What Is Confirmed
- Unibet left Ontario. It was one of the regulated market’s early operators. In November 2023 its parent company, Kindred Group, announced that it would withdraw from North America, citing the cost of competing there. Unibet’s Ontario exit followed on March 26, 2024, with open bets settled and customer balances refunded.
- It is not in iGaming Ontario’s directory. We checked the official list of regulated sites, and Unibet does not appear.
Our Ontario casinos guide explains what normally happens to your balance when an operator leaves the province, and lists every casino that is registered today.
What Is Not Confirmed
The open question is the rest of Canada. Before 2024, players outside Ontario could use Unibet’s international site under its Malta licence. Sources now disagree on whether that is still true.
| Position | Who says it |
|---|---|
| Unibet no longer serves the rest of Canada, having left all North American markets in 2024 | One detailed Canadian review, consistent with the parent company’s announcement |
| Unibet still accepts Canadians outside Ontario under its Malta licence | Several review sites dated 2026, most of them promotional in tone |
There is one further piece of evidence. A copy of Unibet’s international terms, about a year old when we checked, names Ontario as a place whose residents may not hold an account, without excluding the rest of Canada. That points toward other provinces still being accepted, at least at that time. Set against the company’s announced withdrawal from North America, it leaves the question open, and we could not load Unibet’s current terms to settle it. We are not stating either position as fact.
If you want to find out for yourself, the test is simple. Visit Unibet’s site from your province and see whether you are offered registration, then read the restricted territories section of its terms. If Canada is listed, or registration is blocked, you have your answer. Do not use a VPN to get around a block. That breaches the operator’s terms and can cost you your balance.
If You Still Have a Unibet Account
Ontario players were told to withdraw their balances when the site closed, and remaining funds were to be returned. If you believe you are still owed money, contact Unibet’s customer support with your account details and keep a written record. Our guide to resolving disputes with online casinos explains how to escalate if you do not get a response, including the route through iGaming Ontario for accounts that were held on the regulated Ontario site.
Alternatives to Unibet
Unibet’s appeal was a combination of things: a large European operator, casino and sportsbook together, and a clean, well-run site. These casinos offer something similar and are confirmed as available.
| If you liked Unibet for | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Casino and sportsbook on one account | Betway | A long-established combined operator, registered in Ontario and available across Canada |
| A big-brand regulated casino | BetMGM | Licensed in Ontario and Alberta, with a very large library and PayPal support |
| Mobile play and live casino | LeoVegas | Another European brand, registered in Ontario, with the best mobile casino we review |
| Fair bonus terms | PlayOJO | No wagering requirements, available in Ontario and the rest of Canada |
| European sports-led brands | bwin or BetVictor | Both registered in Ontario with casino and sports together |

Why We Are Not Publishing a Normal Review
We could have left the old review in place, with its bonus figures and game counts. Plenty of sites have. But a review that sends you to a casino you may not be able to join, quoting offers that may not exist, is worse than no review. When an operator’s status becomes clear, in either direction, we will update this page. Our review methodology explains how we handle changes like this.
