Under 19
The legal age for casinos in Ontario is 19, so entry is not allowed yet. The same age applies to online gambling in the province.
You must be 19 to enter a casino in Ontario, including Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto in Etobicoke. Bring an original government-issued photo ID and a second photo ID, whatever your age.
Age & ID
Will they let me in?
Enter your birth year to see which age and ID rules apply at the door.
Age 25 · by birth year
19 to 29
You can go in at 19+, and staff will check your ID because they ID everyone under 30. Bring a valid, original government-issued photo ID and a secondary photo ID.
30+
Bring a valid, original government-issued photo ID and a secondary photo ID anyway, since both are required on entry. Photos or photocopies are not accepted.
What the door asks for
The legal age for casinos in Ontario is 19, and Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto follows it. To get in, you need a valid, original government-issued photo ID and a secondary photo ID. Originals only: photos or photocopies of ID are not accepted. A picture of your card on your phone does not count.
One line from the operator's code of conduct sums it up: We ID under 30. If you are under 30, or might pass for it, expect staff to ask for your ID. Keep both cards on you.
Metal detectors stand at the public entrances to the gaming floors and theatres.
Same rules nearby and online
Pickering Casino Resort, Casino Ajax and Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry use the same rules. Each asks for 19+, an original government photo ID and a secondary photo ID, and each says: We ID under 30. The Great Canadian Rewards card works at all four. Online play follows the same age: in Ontario, the legal age for online gambling is 19 too.
