Nunavut sports betting 2025

Nunavut sports betting is fully legal and overseen by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). While Canadians were allowed to bet on sports in 1985, it was limited to parlays of 3+ legs only. In 2021, the national government passed Bill C-218, legalizing single-game sports betting nationwide. Soon after, Nunavummiut started to make single bets in-person via Sport Select, a product by WCLC.

Is sports betting legal in Nunavut?

Image for a paragraph about legality of sports betting in Nunavut

Yes, sports betting is legal in Nunavut, and you have to be at least 19 to gamble. Thanks to Bill C-218, single-game wagering has been legal in Canada since August 2021. In December, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) started to accept single bets from Nunavut residents on behalf of NWT and Nunavut Lotteries. However, only in-person bets are allowed, and very few markets are on offer, usually match winner, point spread, and over/under.

Is online sports betting legal in Nunavut?

No, online sports betting in Nunavut is forbidden, as no licensed bookies exist in the NU. However, there is still an option of betting online thanks to offshore sportsbooks, even though they don’t have a license. MightyTips experts doubt a licensed online bookie will come to the region shortly.

Where can I bet on sports in Nunavut?

You can bet offline by attending one of Sport Select retail outlets in the NU territory, usually in convenience stores, grocery stores, or gas stations. There’s an option to check the odds online at the Sport Select website, yet you can only make a bet in-person.

There are no licensed Nunavut betting sites, however, offshore sportsbooks are another option. Although they can’t operate in Nunavut without a license, locals are not forbidden to make bets there. Check out our article about the best sports betting sites in Canada.
