The legal framework, in short

Under the Criminal Code, gambling is run or licensed by the provinces; in Nova Scotia that means ALC.ca, operated by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC). Private sites reachable from Downtown Dartmouth usually hold offshore licences (Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao) and are not supervised by the Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation. Using an offshore site is not an offence for the player; the trade-off is weaker protection and slower dispute resolution. You must be 19 or older to gamble in Nova Scotia; age is verified with documents at the latest at the first cash-out.

Gambling responsibly in Downtown Dartmouth

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Keep clear money and time limits, and do not play after drinking or when you are upset. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Nova Scotia Problem Gambling Help Line at 1-888-347-8888; the service covers the whole province, Downtown Dartmouth included. Self-exclusion programs run by Atlantic Lottery cover the provincial site and land-based venues.
