Withdraw from OLG by electronic bank transfer. Open your Standard Player Account and request a withdrawal of Unutilized Funds; in most circumstances, OLG can process an eligible request within three Business Days.


How do you request an OLG withdrawal?

Start in your Standard Player Account and request the withdrawal using the available method. Accounts in Canada use CAD, and you cannot choose another payment method or currency for the withdrawal. For a comparison with funding your account, see how to deposit at OLG.

  1. Open your Standard Player Account and request a withdrawal of Unutilized Funds.
  2. Use a bank account held by you, either alone or jointly with other persons.

Before requesting it, check these conditions:

  • Minimum: the minimum single withdrawal is C$2, so a smaller request is not available.
  • Maximum: there is no maximum amount for a single withdrawal.
  • Daily limit: you may make only one withdrawal per day.
  • Account ownership: the bank account must be held by you, alone or jointly, so you cannot designate another person's account.
  • Method and currency: you cannot select another withdrawal method or currency.

The withdrawal method is electronic bank transfer. A credit card deposit cannot be withdrawn back to that credit card. OLG may sometimes return Unutilized Funds by another appropriate means, but that is OLG's decision rather than a method you can select.



How long does an OLG withdrawal take?

In most circumstances, OLG can process the withdrawal within three Business Days after you make the request and satisfy all withdrawal conditions, including providing any information or documentation OLG requires.

Processing is OLG's handling of the request; receipt is when the money reaches your bank account. OLG may refuse a request if it suspects the withdrawal breaches the agreement. If you change your mind, you may cancel the request through your Standard Player Account.


What fees and account conditions should you check?

Any payment-method fees are your responsibility. In particular, a credit card issuer may treat funding a Player Account as a cash advance and charge a fee for each such credit card transaction.

  • VPN: players in Canada may not use a VPN to access OLG's site, so do not use one when accessing your account.
  • Limits and breaks: Deposit Limits and Casino Spend Limits set spending boundaries, while Playing Time Reminders, the Self-Assessment Test and My PlayBreak are tools for checking or pausing play.

Electronic bank transfer suits you better if you use a bank account in your own name. You have less flexibility if you want funds returned to a credit card because the deposit method does not make that card a withdrawal destination. For wider context, read the OLG review: is it right for you?


How can you contact OLG about a withdrawal?

In Ontario, support is available through Chat and Call. For online gaming, you can use LiveChat 24/7; French chat has narrower hours: Weekdays 8 AM to 4 PM (ET). Phone hours are 8 AM to Midnight.

OLG withdrawal questions

Which methods can be used to withdraw in CAD, and how does that differ from deposits?

Withdrawals in CAD use electronic bank transfer. A credit card may be used to fund the account, but funds cannot be withdrawn back to that credit card.

What are the minimum and maximum for each withdrawal method?

The minimum single withdrawal is C$2, and there is no maximum amount for a single withdrawal. The available method is electronic bank transfer.

How long does processing take, and how long does receipt take after it?

In most circumstances, processing takes within three Business Days once the request and all withdrawal conditions are satisfied.

Does the deposit method or account holder name decide where the money returns?

The bank account must be held by you, alone or jointly with other persons. Using a credit card to deposit does not allow you to withdraw back to that card.
