Questions

Is sports betting legal in Quebec?

The answer depends on the laws of your province; this page is not legal advice. Loto-Québec runs Mise-o-jeu, which is governed by the Règlement sur les concours de pronostics et les jeux sur numéros.

What is the age for online betting in Quebec?

For Loto-Québec online games you must be 18+, a Quebec resident and physically in Quebec when you play.

Does overtime count in Mise-o-jeu hockey bets?

For questions on a team's performance in a match, overtime and shootouts count unless the offer says otherwise. A 60-minute line counts regulation time only.

Can I cancel Loto-Québec self-exclusion early?

No. Signing up is confidential, free and irrevocable, so it runs for the full period you choose. The shortest and longest periods are shown in the province card above.

How much can a Mise-o-jeu selection pay?

The payout is the product of the odds of your correct predictions times your stake. Loto-Québec may limit total prizes to $2,000,000 per winning selection.
