You need to be 19 in most of Canada and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Check your province, see how the ID check works and what happens if the rule is broken.
The short answer. You must be 19 to play at Ruby Fortune in Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, the Atlantic provinces and all three territories, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. The rule is the higher of 18 and your province’s age of majority, and a photo ID check confirms it before money leaves your account.

Why the gambling age in Canada changes by province
Canada has no single federal gambling age. Each province sets its own, and it follows the local age of majority, the same line used for buying alcohol.
Ruby Fortune ties its rule to that. In the rubyfortune.com/ca terms I read (archived 12 March 2026), clause 1.1.4 requires players to be over 18 and of age of majority where they live. An 18-year-old in Calgary or Montreal qualifies; one in Vancouver or Halifax does not. The Ontario terms (archived 11 April 2026) say 19, as the AGCO standards require.
| Province or territory | Minimum age | Ruby Fortune site |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec | 18+ | rubyfortune.com/ca |
| Ontario | 19+ | rubyfortune.ca/ontario |
| British Columbia, Saskatchewan | 19+ | rubyfortune.com/ca |
| New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador | 19+ | rubyfortune.com/ca |
| Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut | 19+ | rubyfortune.com/ca |

How Ruby Fortune verifies your age
Age is checked with documents, not a tick box. In Ontario verification is part of registration, as AGCO and FINTRAC rules require. Elsewhere the terms let Ruby Fortune ask for proof of age at any time and hold the account until it arrives; expect it before your first withdrawal. Have ready:
- Government photo ID: driver’s licence, passport or provincial ID card, fully readable.
- Proof of address no older than six months, such as a utility bill.
- Proof of your payment method: a card copy with the middle eight digits and security code covered, or a bank statement.
- Location services switched on if you play from Ontario.
What happens if an underage account is found
Being of legal age is a warranty you give at registration, and breaking it makes every transaction on the account void.
- Account opened with a false birth date
- The account is closed and winnings are forfeited; the Ontario responsible gaming page says on the spot.
- A teenager plays on a parent’s account
- The holder broke the rule against anyone else, relatives included, using the account. Winnings can be voided and the balance confiscated.
- You turn 19 in a few weeks
- Wait. An account opened one day early is still underage, and the ID shows the date.
- You suspect a minor is playing
- Report it to support on live chat so the account can be reviewed.
Tip for shared devices: leave "Keep me logged in" unticked, turn on two-step verification, and install filtering software such as Net Nanny or the free BetBlocker tool, which Ruby Fortune’s responsible gaming page recommends for households with children.
