Prediction Markets - Loto-Québec reminds the public that it is the only legally authorized provider of games of chance in Québec
MONTRÉAL, Aug. 27, 2026 /CNW/ -- Following the publication of the most recent notice from the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), Loto-Québec would like to reiterate that, in Québec, there is no ambiguity: the only 100% legal casino and sports betting website is lotoquebec.com. Regardless of the platform--whether it's a gaming website or a prediction market website offering event contracts related to sports and entertainment--if it's not Loto-Québec, it's not legal.
Over the past year, the popularity of prediction markets offering sports and entertainment event contracts has grown significantly in North America. However, it is important to remember that this form of betting is not legal in Québec and that there are real risks regarding the integrity of the results. In light of this, Loto-Québec encourages Québec players to choose lotoquebec.com, the only legal, safe, and trustworthy option available in the province, and to bet responsibly.
