LeoVegas was founded in Sweden in 2011 around one bet: that casino players would move to phones before casinos did. How that bet holds up under Ontario regulation is assessed in UniPlay’s independent review of LeoVegas.
The bet paid off, the brand crowned itself the King of Mobile, collected an award shelf to back the claim, and in 2022 was bought outright by MGM Resorts for roughly $604 million.
It holds an iGaming Ontario registration under AGCO oversight (licence OPIG1337312, verified active). The apps remain best-in-class, backed by a decade of mobile awards, and the live casino carries 20 exclusive LeoVegas-branded tables among 300-plus live titles. There are no reported withdrawal limits and the cashout minimum is a low $20, drawing on roughly 4,000 games from the full first division of studios. A few honest limitations: withdrawal approval can stretch toward five days at peak periods, support hours and chat connection speed are inconsistent, and cards are deposit-only, so cashouts run through Interac or bank transfer.
LeoVegas operates legally in Ontario's regulated online gambling market, which opened on April 4, 2022. The market is conducted and managed by iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), which registers and regulates every operator. LeoVegas holds AGCO registration OPIG1337312, listed as Active — you can confirm it on the AGCO's public registrant list. Only operators that clear this registration may legally offer real-money play to players in Ontario, and all play must go through the operator's official Ontario site, leovegas.com.

How do I know I'm on the official LeoVegas site?
Ontario play runs through LeoVegas's registered site, leovegas.com. Any other domain claiming to be LeoVegas for Ontario players is not the registered operator — check registration OPIG1337312 on the AGCO list if you're unsure.
Is LeoVegas safe to use?
Registered Ontario operators must meet AGCO player-protection standards — age and identity verification, deposit and time limits, self-exclusion and independent game testing. Those protections apply to LeoVegas as long as its registration stays Active.
