Source-verified data
Data
Structured, source-attributed datasets on regulated North American iGaming — provincial revenue, regulatory timelines and operator registers, every row cited and dated.
Provincial gaming-corporation revenue, Canada
Latest publicly reported revenue/income figures from Canada's provincial gaming corporations. Provinces report on different metrics (total gaming proceeds, total revenue, or net income) and different fiscal-year ends — the Metric column states exactly what each figure represents. Do not treat these as directly comparable without adjusting for metric.

Canada regulated-iGaming timeline
Dated milestones in the transition of Canadian provinces from Criminal Code lottery-scheme monopolies toward competitive, privately-operated regulated iGaming markets — Ontario's 2022 launch through Alberta's 2026 launch.
Source: Multiple primary/legal sources — see each row; compiled by Verdikt editorial
Alberta iGaming launch: registered operators tracker
Named operators confirmed as registered with AGLC ahead of Alberta's 13/07/2026 iGaming launch, per public reporting current to 25/06/2026. AGLC updates its official register roughly weekly and the final launch-day list is published by the Alberta iGaming Corporation — treat this as a dated snapshot, not the live count, and verify at abigaming.ca/operators/ before relying on any name or status.

Casino game house-edge league table
House edge by game and variant, covering table games, video poker and slots/crash. Table-game rows (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, video poker, Sic Bo, Three Card Poker) are Verdikt editorial COMPUTATIONS from the fixed, published rules of each game under standard assumptions (see Basis + Notes columns for the exact assumption — e.g. basic strategy, standard paytable). These figures do not depend on any single operator and will be identical at any casino running the same rules. Slot and crash-game rows are marked PUBLISHED-RANGE because RTP is set per title by the game provider (e.g. Pragmatic Play, Evolution) and varies title-to-title — treat the slots/crash rows as an industry range, not a guarantee for any specific game, and always check the in-game RTP/paytable screen before playing.

Return-to-player: what Canada's offshore casinos actually publish
RTP-disclosure practice across the offshore crypto casinos referenced on this site, checked directly against each operator's own site. Categories: PER-GAME (individual RTP shown against specific titles), PARTIAL (RTP shown for some in-house/proprietary games only, not the wider provider catalogue), MINIMAL (RTP mentioned for a single game, not a general practice), NOT DISCLOSED (no RTP figures found), or UNCONFIRMED (the operator's site returned an error to an automated check on the retrieval date, or the operator's identity itself is unresolved per our item.ts flag — see Notes). This is a live-checked ORIGINAL dataset, not aggregated from a third party; it will drift as operators update their sites, hence the per-row verification date.

Interac vs crypto: deposit rails at Canada-facing offshore casinos
Payment-rail facts for the offshore crypto casinos referenced on this site: whether Interac (the Canadian e-transfer/online-banking rail) is supported, which cryptocurrencies are accepted, and any operator-stated withdrawal timeframe. Built from two sources only — the categoryFacets already verified in config/item.ts against each operator's own cashier/banking pages in prior review passes, and a fresh direct check of each operator's homepage on 09/07/2026. Absence of Interac in a row means it was not found/confirmed, not that it is confirmed unavailable, unless the operator is explicitly crypto-only.

Canadian title droughts, quantified
Years since each Canadian major-league franchise's last championship, computed as 2026 minus the sourced last-title year (see each row's Notes for the source of the title list itself). Includes the single most-cited aggregate stat in Canadian sports: the 33-year (and counting) drought since any Canadian NHL franchise last won the Stanley Cup (Montreal Canadiens, 1993) — a genuinely different number from any individual team's drought, shown as its own row. Four franchises (Vancouver Canucks, Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, CF Montréal) have never won a major title; their drought is marked N/A rather than a guessed or zero value, since they have no 'last title year' to subtract from. A proposed drought × metro-population 'fan-years' column has been deliberately omitted — see the dataset-wave note in this file for why.

Canada vs US: where the titles actually went
Championships won by Canadian franchises versus the league-wide total, per league, since each league's first Canadian entry — computed by dividing a sourced Canadian-franchise championship count by a sourced league-wide champion-year count over the same window. The league-wide totals account for genuine no-champion years (the 1919 Stanley Cup Final, cancelled by the influenza pandemic; the 2004-05 NHL season, cancelled by the lockout; the 1994 World Series, cancelled by the players' strike) rather than treating every calendar year as a champion-year. The CFL is excluded as not applicable: it has no US franchises to compare against. Two MLS windows are shown — since Toronto FC's first MLS season (2007) and since MLS's own founding (1996) — because 'Canadian share of MLS titles' reads differently depending which start point you pick, and we'd rather show both than imply a single framing is the only honest one.

Canadian pro sports venues: capacity and tenants
Seating capacity and tenant franchise(s) for every venue hosting a Canadian NHL, CFL, NBA, MLB or MLS team, sourced from each venue's own Wikipedia page or team-site capacity figure. A distance-to-nearest-land-based-casino column was planned but dropped: we could not source a clean, consistent, independently verifiable distance figure for all 18 venues in this pass, and estimating from a map rather than a published source would fail our no-fabrication policy — so this dataset keeps capacity and tenancy only, which is cleanly sourceable for every row.
