Is sports betting legal in Nova Scotia?

Yes, sports betting is legal in Nova Scotia for anyone who has reached the age of 19. Betting on sports became legal in Canada in 1985, but in August 2021, single-game wagering was allowed throughout the country once the Federal Bill C-218 was passed. The NS government decided to review sports betting regulations, and in February 2022, all barriers were cleared. The Atlantic Lottery Corporation regulates sports betting in Nova Scotia, and currently, there are no restrictions on any bet.

Is online sports betting legal in Nova Scotia?

Yes, online sports betting is legal in Nova Scotia. You can place a bet via Proline Stadium, the only licensed Nova Scotia online sports betting option. However, this ALC platform has limited choices in sports and betting markets.

Where can I bet on sports in Nova Scotia?

If you’d like to bet in Nova Scotia, three options are available.

You can bet online using the Proline Stadium platform, operated by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC). There are no other Nova Scotia betting sites with a license at the moment.

Another option is to bet in-person. While there are no licensed retail Nova Scotia sportsbooks, you can still visit one of the authorized Proline retailers, based in convenience stores, gas stations, etc. Simply give a filled-in Proline slip to the cashier and pay for the wager. You’ll get a ticket, which you can later change for money if your bet succeeds.

Finally, you can always use one of the offshore sportsbooks. Bookmakers can't work in the Canadian market without a license, yet the locals can still use their services. Please read our article about Canada's best online betting sites.
