Yes — through AGCO-registered operators. This guide covers how Ontario regulates UFC wagering, why the AGCO suspended it in December 2022 and reinstated it in January 2023, and how to verify an operator before you bet.

UFC betting is legal in Ontario for players aged 19+ who are physically in the province, through operators registered with the AGCO and operating under an agreement with iGaming Ontario. Single-event betting became legal federally on August 27, 2021, and Ontario's regulated market opened April 4, 2022.
Markets, odds, and account rules depend on the operator. This guide is general information, not betting or legal advice. iCanBet does not take wagers or process deposits. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, use operator limit tools or contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600.
Bill C-218 receives Royal Assent and single-event sport betting becomes legal in Canada on August 27, 2021 — the federal change that made provincially regulated UFC moneylines possible [S3].
Ontario opens its regulated private-operator iGaming market on April 4, 2022 under AGCO oversight. On December 1, 2022, the AGCO requires all registered operators to stop offering and accepting UFC wagers, citing betting-integrity concerns: UFC rules at the time did not prohibit all insiders — coaches, managers, handlers, trainers, medical staff — from betting on UFC events [S4].
In January 2023, the AGCO reinstates UFC betting after the UFC amends its athlete conduct policy to bar insiders from wagering and engages U.S. Integrity, an AGCO-registered independent monitor, to analyze unusual wagering activity [S5].
UFC markets remain available from AGCO-registered operators. iGaming Ontario reported 49 operators and 84 gaming websites in the regulated market as of October 16, 2026 [S2].
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is the regulator. It registers operators, sets the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming — covering player fund protection, responsible-gambling tools, fair game testing, anti-money laundering compliance, and betting-integrity requirements — and can order markets pulled when those standards are not met, as it did with UFC wagering in 2022 [S1][S4]. iGaming Ontario (iGO), a subsidiary of the AGCO, manages the commercial agreements private operators sign to take bets in the province, and publishes the official directory of regulated operators and gaming websites [S2].
The 2022–2023 UFC episode is the clearest demonstration of how the system works: when the UFC’s own rules left room for insiders to bet, the AGCO removed the market; when the UFC banned insider wagering and accepted independent integrity monitoring, the AGCO restored it [S4][S5]. A market being available at a regulated Ontario operator means it has cleared that integrity bar.
