Licence and authorization
9.5
Evidence
The Ontario terms of use, which cover the sportsbook and casino, say Crown DK CAN Ltd. operates under an Operating Agreement with iGaming Ontario. The AGCO names the same company in its 2022 penalty release, and iGO lists casino.draftkings.com. Viewed from outside Ontario, the casino showed a New Jersey footer, so we did not confirm the Ontario footer. Check that it names iGO and the AGCO when you sign in.

Ownership transparency
7.5
Evidence
The Ontario terms name Crown DK CAN Ltd. but give no address for it, listing DraftKings Inc. offices in Boston instead. The AGCO release identifies DraftKings Inc. (DE) as the parent, so the ownership chain is clear even though the local company has no published address. That missing address is the reason for the lower score.

Withdrawal terms
5.5
Evidence
The terms say withdrawals are honoured within five business days unless refused, and cheques within ten business days. Expect ID and address verification, and an account becomes dormant after three years without a login (no inactivity fee is mentioned). We could not find withdrawal limits, fees or times for each method, so ask support about these before you deposit.

Player protection tools
6.5
Evidence
The terms mention responsible gaming limits without naming the types, account suspension of at least 72 hours, self exclusion plus BetGuard, and statements on request by email, and the iOS casino listing gives ConnexOntario. We found no reality checks, and the terms page we viewed showed an Ohio helpline in its footer. Check your account's responsible gaming settings to see which limits are available in Ontario.

Site and app experience
6.5
Evidence
The App Store (Canada) lists DraftKings Casino with an Ontario iGO notice and ConnexOntario details, and the operator's Ontario page names the Android package com.draftkings.casino. We did not confirm the Google Play listing itself. We also did not confirm whether each game shows its payout rate (RTP), so check a game's info screen before you play.

Complaints record
7.5
Evidence
The AGCO issued Crown DK CAN Ltd. a $100,000 Order of Monetary Penalty on June 30, 2022 for broadly advertising inducements (boosted odds) on TV and social media in May 2022. We found no later AGCO action, which is why the score is not lower. Player complaint sites were not part of this review.

Overview
DraftKings, a large US sports betting and casino company, entered Ontario’s regulated market with both a sportsbook and an online casino. The iGaming Ontario directory lists the casino at casino.draftkings.com, the same domain the company uses in some US states. Which version you see depends on where you are, so check that the page shows Ontario terms and age rules.
This desk research profile draws on the regulator’s directory and DraftKings’ published Ontario terms of use. It does not describe hands-on play.
Licence and ownership
DraftKings Casino and DraftKings Sportsbook are both listed on the iGaming Ontario regulated market directory. “Crown DK CAN Ltd.” is on the directory’s operator list, but the directory does not show which operator runs which site.
DraftKings’ Ontario terms of use, which cover both the sportsbook and the casino, make the link. They name Crown DK CAN Ltd. as the operator and say it works under an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The AGCO is named as a body you can escalate an unresolved dispute to, but no registration number is quoted.
That operating agreement is the core of Ontario’s model. The AGCO registers and regulates private operators, while iGaming Ontario, a provincial agency, contracts with them and conducts and manages the games, with each operator acting as its agent. It explains why both bodies turn up in DraftKings’ terms.
Because the domain is shared with US sites, the directory check matters more than usual here. Search for DraftKings on the iGaming Ontario directory and make sure the address matches the one you are using. A site that is not on the directory is not part of Ontario’s regulated market, whatever its footer says.
Games
The Ontario terms confirm that casino games are covered and refer to separate rules for each title. The casino domain showed us the US lobby when we checked, so we could not confirm the Ontario game categories and have not listed them. Log in from the province to see the Ontario lobby, and open each game’s rules page for its return-to-player rate and limits.
Payments and withdrawals
The Ontario terms mention payment methods and processors only in general terms, and DraftKings does not publish an Ontario cashier or payments help page where we could check it. For that reason we have not listed payment methods.
On withdrawals, the terms are more specific:
- Withdrawal requests are generally honoured within five business days.
- Withdrawals by cheque are processed within ten business days and sent by mail.
- If a customer cannot verify their identity and account, DraftKings will not release funds.
- Withdrawals are paid in the player’s home currency, regardless of where they are physically located.
The terms do not mention withdrawal fees or limits, so look for them in the cashier before depositing. If speed matters, avoid the cheque option: its ten-day processing window is twice the general target, before postal time is added.
Player protection and support
The Ontario terms require players to be at least 19 and physically located in Ontario. They set out a dispute process: contact DraftKings first, then escalate to iGaming Ontario or the AGCO if the issue is not resolved. As on every Ontario-regulated site, responsible gambling tools such as deposit limits and self-exclusion should be in your account settings. ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600) offers free, confidential help for anyone worried about their gambling.
Our view
DraftKings Casino fits Ontario players who already use the DraftKings sportsbook, or who want a large North American brand that documents its dispute route.
The checks are practical. Confirm the brand on the iGaming Ontario directory, then look at the cashier for the withdrawal methods, limits and timings that apply to you. Have identification ready, because an unverified account cannot withdraw.
