Who We Are
OtoQuébec is an independent gaming platform for people aged 18 and over who are located in Québec. It is built for players who want to check a draw, browse a game catalogue and compare odds in one place. Every amount on the site is shown in Canadian dollars.
We are not Loto-Québec and we do not act on its behalf. The Crown corporation served as a model for how the site is organized, but there is no affiliation between us. The details are set out below under Legal Information.
Our Background
The project started from an ordinary observation: to check their numbers, look at the odds for tonight’s hockey game and play a hand of blackjack, a player often opens three different sites, with three passwords and three ways of keeping track of a budget. We wanted one account, one history and one set of limits that applies everywhere at once.
Two principles have shaped our decisions from the start. French comes first: our texts are written in Québec French, then adapted into English rather than the other way around. And the site shows how things actually stand. If a feature is not offered yet, such as payment methods, we say so instead of displaying it for show.
Lottery Games
The Lotteries section covers Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, Grande Vie and Tout ou rien: how each game works, how numbers are chosen and what to know before you play. Winning numbers from recent draws are gathered on the Results page.
These results are published for information only. If there is ever a discrepancy, the official results of the organization that issues the lottery prevail. Always check your tickets against that source before treating a prize as won.
Online Casino
The casino brings together slots, table games such as blackjack, roulette and baccarat, and game shows. Tables with live dealers have their own page, Live Casino. You will also find poker, keno, bingo and instant games.
Every game page is open to browse. To launch a game, you need an account, a verified identity and a confirmed location in Québec.
Sports Betting
The Sports Betting section covers 14 sports: hockey, soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, football, esports, volleyball, rugby, handball, MMA, cricket, golf and Formula 1. Each event has its own page listing the markets on offer.
Odds are shown in decimal format, which keeps the math simple: a $10 stake at odds of 2.50 means a possible return of $25, stake included. Odds reflect an estimated probability, not a promise about the outcome.
Player Protection
Before any access to real-money play, four things are checked: your age, your identity, your eligibility in Québec and where you are when you play. Location is checked by our servers. The language you pick on the site does not count, and a Canadian IP address is not enough to confirm that you are in Québec. Until the check succeeds, access stays blocked.
Your account keeps a history of your transactions and of your access attempts, so you can see what happened and when. How we handle your personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
Responsible Gambling
Gambling involves risks. Play responsibly. To help with that, your account offers a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit, a game pause from 24 hours to 6 weeks, session reminders at regular intervals and, on request, self-exclusion for 6 months to 5 years.
Each tool is explained on the Responsible Gambling page. If gambling worries you or someone close to you, the independent service Gambling: Help and Referral answers at 1 800 461-0140, day and night, free of charge and in confidence.
Legal Information
OtoQuébec is independent of Loto-Québec. We are not a subsidiary, agent or partner of the Crown corporation, and this site should not be taken as an official service of the Government of Québec.
For reference only: Loto-Québec is a Québec government corporation headquartered at 500, rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal (Québec) H3A 3G6. That address belongs to Loto-Québec, not to us.
OtoQuébec does not claim any licence number. The registered details of the site’s operator will be published here once they are confirmed. The rules for using the site are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
Contact Information
For any question about your account, a game or the site, write to support@otoquebec.com or use the form on the Contact Us page, where you can pick the category of your request. The site does not have a phone line at this time.
The number 1 800 461-0140 is not our support line: it belongs to Gambling: Help and Referral, an independent service for people affected by gambling.
