Canada, counted

No schedule of the thirty-eight names Canada, and two are Canadian

Zero of the 38 restricted schedules opened for this index print Canada. Two of the thirty-eight were read at Canadian editions of the operator's terms, and one of those runs to 105 entries.

Thirty-eight documents, and no Canadian entry in any of them

Thirty-eight restricted-territory schedules were opened for this index on 26 August 2026 and read from beginning to end. Canada appears in none. Sixty-two brands in the hundred-name library keep a clause that stayed shut through the pass, and nothing whatever is claimed about those sixty-two.

Seven of the 122 markets covered here share that zero, and Canada is by far the largest economy among the seven. Ireland is another of the seven, and its nearest neighbour is named in twenty-nine of the same thirty-eight. The reason the figure is worth a page is not the zero itself but what sits next to it in the addresses.

Two of the thirty-eight are Canadian editions

Operators in this library often publish regional renderings of the same terms of business, and the address gives the audience away. Two of the thirty-eight documents read here were served from Canadian ones: Oshi Casino at www.oshi.io/en-CA/terms-and-conditions, and Slotum at www.slotum.com/en-CA/terms-and-conditions, both from archived captures on the day.

Those two are not short. Oshi's schedule reaches 105 of the 122 markets counted here, the longest in the whole reading. Slotum's reaches 96. A document that names 105 territories, written on a page addressed to Canadian readers, does not name Canada. That is the sharpest form the zero takes on this page, and no note in either clause explains it.

Length is not the missing ingredient

Seven schedules in this reading each run to 95 entries or more. Between them they name African markets by the dozen, several Pacific islands with populations in five figures, and every large European jurisdiction twice over.

None of the seven carries a Canadian entry. Whatever produced the zero, it is not that the drafters were writing short lists in a hurry.

The overlap between them is heavy by arithmetic alone. Two lists of 95 and 105 names drawn from a pool of 122 markets must share at least seventy-eight entries, so these seven documents agree with one another far more than they differ, and the small remainder each leaves out is the only place a drafting choice becomes visible. Canada falls in that remainder every time.

The border, and a thirty-two

The contrast a Canadian reader is most likely to want is with the country next door, and it is the widest one in this index.

The United States is named in thirty-two of the thirty-eight schedules, the highest figure anywhere in this reading. Only six read documents leave it out. Canada, one border away, sits at zero across the same thirty-eight. Two neighbouring markets, one pass, one day, and a thirty-two-point spread between them. The documents give no reason for it, and this page will not supply one.

What each operator publishes about itself: the company named on the licence, the permit number and where it was read, how many countries the operator excludes in its own terms, and when identity documents are demanded. The country count is the length of a list the operator published, not our estimate of where it will accept you. An empty cell means the document was not read — it is not a zero, and it is not a permission.

A blank cell is not a zero

For sixty-two of the hundred brands the restricted clause was never reached: terms had moved, a login stood in front of the page, or no usable capture existed.

Those cells print blank, and on a page like this one the distinction earns its keep. A zero means thirty-eight documents were read and the country was not in them. A blank means the document was not read. They look similar in a table and mean opposite things, and reading either as a permission would dress unfinished work up as advice. How we read keeps the definitions in one place and names what would move a brand out of the third group.

What a zero cannot cover

Neither figure reaches past the published text. A territory list goes stale between revisions, and the regional editions above show how easily one operator can run two versions at once. Beneath the clause, a payment processor applies rules that appear in no document a reader can open, and the verification desk keeps a judgement in reserve for the day a withdrawal is requested. None of that is published, so none of it is counted here.

Contract text, and Canadian statute

Everything on this page came out of terms of business. Firms keep those lists in step with their licensing and their banking, redraft them when either moves, and post the new version without announcement, which is why every number here is dated.

What Canadian and provincial law permit is settled by instruments this page never opened, and those questions stay with them. A refusal printed in terms of service can read like an official act while binding only the person who accepted those terms, and an absent refusal is not the reverse of one. The country index holds the full spread: the United States reaches thirty-two, the United Kingdom twenty-nine, and Australia thirteen.

Questions people actually type

How many operators write Canada into their own restricted schedule?
None of the thirty-eight opened on 26 August 2026. Each was read from end to end without a Canadian entry appearing. Sixty-two operators in the hundred-name library keep a document that stayed shut, and no figure attaches to any of them.
What are the Canadian editions of the terms?
Two of the thirty-eight documents were read at addresses carrying an en-CA path, published by Oshi Casino and by Slotum. Their schedules run to 105 and 96 of the 122 markets covered here, the longest and the joint third longest in this reading, and neither names Canada.
Why is the American figure so much higher?
The United States is named in thirty-two of the thirty-eight schedules, the highest count in this index, and only six read documents omit it. Canada, sharing a land border and much of the same payments infrastructure, is named in none. The two counts came out of the same pass on the same day.
Does this page report on Canadian or provincial gambling law?
It reports contract text only. A restricted-territory schedule is written by an operator about its own service and revised by that operator alone. Federal statute and each provincial regulator publish separately, and legal questions belong with those sources.
