BetMGM Ontario Login: User ID, Password and Location Checks

How to Log In to BetMGM Ontario

Signing in takes a minute once the location check is in place. In a web browser, that check is the step most people miss.

1. Go to on.betmgm.ca, where the on stands for Ontario, and make sure Ontario is the province selected. The BetMGM apps now serve Alberta too, but under a separate account, so an Alberta account will not open here.
2. Choose Log In and enter your account name (BetMGM also calls it your User ID) and your password.
3. In a web browser, install BetMGM’s location plugin when asked. Its help centre says you need it to log in, deposit and play for real money. On a phone, allow location access for the app.
4. Once the check confirms you are in Ontario, the casino lobby opens.

Your Account Name Is Permanent

BetMGM assigns each account name only once, and it cannot be changed after you register. You are also allowed a single BetMGM account in Ontario, which logs you in to both BetMGM Casino and BetMGM Poker. If you have forgotten the name, the recovery link in the log-in window sends it to you by email.

The BetMGM Apps

The casino app is listed in the Canadian App Store as BetMGM Casino – Real Money, published by BetMGM, LLC, and it needs iOS 18 or later, which rules out older iPhones. The sportsbook has its own app, and BetMGM Poker another, published by ROAR Digital. The listings say the apps serve Ontario, for players 19 and over, and Alberta, where the age is 18; make sure Ontario is selected when you sign in. Our BetMGM app guide compares the three apps and the browser route for iPhones that cannot reach iOS 18.

The Location Check: Why BetMGM Might Not Let You In

Ontario rules require BetMGM to confirm you are inside the province before you play, and most log-in trouble comes from that check rather than from a password.

The Browser Plugin

On a computer, BetMGM asks you to install a small piece of software that verifies your location. Without it you cannot log in, deposit or play in the browser. On the app, the phone’s own location services do the job, so keep them on for BetMGM.

Near the Border, or a Wrong IP Address

If you are very close to the Ontario border, you may be blocked and need to move further inside the province and try again. Your internet provider’s IP address can also place you in a neighbouring province. Most connections use a dynamic IP: BetMGM suggests unplugging the modem or router for five to ten seconds to get a new one. With a static IP, you have to ask your provider to change it.

Hotspots, VPNs and Remote-Access Software

Using your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot for a laptop is not recommended, because a weak or patchy connection makes the check fail. VPN and remote-access (VNC) software interfere with the games, and BetMGM asks you to turn them off. If a firewall such as Norton or McAfee is running, it must allow BetMGM, and ports 2147 and 443 need to be open on your router.

Leaving Ontario

Outside the province you can still deposit, and withdraw your available balance, but you cannot play. If you leave Ontario mid-session, your games end; unfinished casino games are saved and wait for you to finish them once you are back.

Forgotten Details and Security Questions

BetMGM handles a forgotten password, a forgotten account name and forgotten security answers from the same place: the log-in window.

Forgotten Password or User ID

Open Log In and choose I forgot my Password or User ID. BetMGM emails password instructions, or your user ID, to your registered address; check your spam or junk folder if it does not arrive. If you changed your email address in the last seven days, contact the Customer Service Team instead.

Your Personal Security Questions

BetMGM protects the account with personal question-and-answer pairs, which it asks for whenever you forget your password. If you forget the answers, you can reset them through the same Forgot your password? link, which emails you a reset link, or by confirming your password. If you have forgotten both the password and the answers, Customer Service has to help.

When the Lobby Will Not Open

Check your internet connection first, then the firewall and VPN points above. If an error message appears when you try to log in, BetMGM asks you to contact Customer Service with it.

Keeping Your BetMGM Account Secure

The security questions are the core of BetMGM’s account protection, and you can extend them to withdrawals.

1. Opt in to the cash-out security feature: you will then be asked your security questions whenever you request a withdrawal. The rest of the payout process is set out in our BetMGM withdrawal guide.
2. Never give your password or security answers to anyone. BetMGM says it will never ask for them by phone or email, and asks you to report anyone who does.
3. Use a password you do not use anywhere else, and keep your registered email current, since every recovery link goes there.
4. Keep to one account: BetMGM does not allow a second one.

Support is available through live chat and the help centre at help.on.betmgm.ca, by email at support@on.betmgm.ca, and by phone on +1-343-488-5355, the number in BetMGM’s Ontario terms.
