About Golden Nugget Casino
The Golden Nugget opened on Fremont Street in 1946 and never stopped being famous, passing through several corporate eras before its online arm was acquired by DraftKings in a $1.56 billion deal. The Ontario product, launched in August 2025, is that storied name running on DraftKings' technology under the same provincial operator.
It holds an iGaming Ontario registration under AGCO oversight (licence OPIG1454285, verified active). The app is the highest-rated in our reviews (iOS 4.9, Android 4.5), and demo play is available before signup, so you can try the entire floor free. Deposits start at $5 with PayPal among the rails, and the shelf includes Aristocrat and Everi land-casino slots rarely found online. It is genuinely new in Ontario, so expect a few rough edges: the reported 96% payout trails its technology sibling's 97%, some US-centric help articles and win tickers leak into the experience, and it is too young to have its own complaint history yet.
Golden Nugget Casino in Ontario's regulated market
