Only bettors physically inside Ontario or Alberta can place wagers through the DraftKings Sportsbook app, which reviews and store summaries describe for both iPhone and Android. Crown DK CAN Ltd. is registered in those two provinces and nowhere else. The casino runs as a separate product, so people searching for the DraftKings sportsbook and casino app may find two listings.
Sportsbook app, casino app and Golden Nugget
In Ontario the iGaming Ontario directory lists three sites under Crown DK CAN Ltd.: DraftKings Sportsbook, DraftKings Casino and Golden Nugget Casino. Each can have its own app. The sportsbook app is for sports bets; casino games belong to the casino product.
App availability in our operator data: Android Yes, iOS Yes. We do not quote star ratings or app sizes; both change with each release.
Getting the DraftKings app onto your phone
- Use the App Store or Google Play. Skip download links in ads, texts or social posts.
- Search for DraftKings Sportsbook and check that the developer is DraftKings and that the listing mentions Canada or Ontario.
- Install, then grant location permission. The app needs it before any bet.
- Sign in or register with your legal name, date of birth and address. The app verifies identity before you can withdraw.
- Set deposit and time limits in the account menu before funding the account.
If the store in your region does not show the app, follow only the instructions on DraftKings’ own help pages. Installing a file from an unknown website is a security risk.
Why the app asks where you are
iGaming Ontario says you may open or access an account from outside Ontario but cannot place wagers there, and Alberta works the same way, so the app needs location permission before it accepts a bet. If you are inside the province and the check still fails, DraftKings’ help pages are the place to start. We do not cover ways to fake a location: it breaks the terms and can cost you the account and any balance.
The app follows provincial age rules: 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec), and only the Ontario and Alberta parts apply here. In other provinces the legal sportsbook apps are the provincial ones, such as PlayNow in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Paying in and cashing out on mobile
Payments on the phone go through the same DraftKings cashier as on the website; reviews list Interac e-Transfer, cards, PayPal and online banking. Withdrawal time stated by the operator: not stated.
Safer play tools sit in the account settings: deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. Ontario’s BetGuard covers all regulated sites. Our responsible gambling page lists helplines.

Questions readers ask
- Can I use the DraftKings app anywhere in Canada?
You can install it, but bets are only accepted while you are physically in Ontario or Alberta.
- Is there one DraftKings sportsbook and casino app?
They are separate products in Ontario, so the store may show more than one DraftKings app.
- What if DraftKings says I am outside Ontario or Alberta?
The app could not confirm your location. Check that location permission is switched on, and contact DraftKings support if you are inside the province and the problem stays.
- Does the DraftKings app accept Interac?
Reviews list Interac e-Transfer in the Canadian cashier, which the app shares with the website.
