Online play in BC
Gambling in British Columbia is legal only if the provincial government operates it. All commercial gambling, including online play, is run by BCLC, a Crown corporation. The one legal online gambling site in B.C. is PlayNow.com, which BCLC runs. To gamble in BC, at casinos or online, a person must be at least 19.
Since April 13, 2026, provincial gambling regulation has rested with IGCO, the Independent Gambling Control Office. BCLC's February 2026 service plan assumes the online market stays closed, and no licensed private online market has been announced for BC.
On its home page, the site carries paid links that each bear the label Ad. They lead not to PlayNow but to a privately held online casino site, one that the province neither runs nor licenses. A commission goes to the site from this partner, who may be replaced.

Elements Casino Surrey, up close
Elements Casino Surrey occupies 17755 60 Ave, Surrey, BC V3S 1V3, and takes calls on 604-576-9141. It opened in November 2005 inside the grandstand of the former Fraser Downs racetrack. The City of Surrey ended the track lease on August 15, 2025, and live harness racing stopped that day.
On Monday to Thursday, the hours run from 10 AM until 4 AM; on Friday to Sunday, the casino keeps going for 24 hours. Hours for live tables differ: 10 AM to 1 AM Sunday to Thursday, and 10 AM to 3 AM Friday and Saturday. For a holiday visit, hours are best confirmed in advance on the venue's own site.
There is no poker room on this floor, which carries more than 500 slots and e-tables along with 10 live table games. To enter, guests must be 19+ and show government-issued photo ID, which a scanner checks against restricted lists and GameBreak, and the casino does not retain it. On October 7, 2026, Great Canadian Entertainment was still the operator. A purchase by SE-MI-AH-MU Development Corporation, part of the Semiahmoo First Nation, was agreed on March 9, 2026, and the City of Surrey and regulators must both approve it.

Which casinos have a parkade to the front door?

Do the building pictures show each casino as it looks now?
Two building pictures are free-licence photos: Parq, taken in October 2017, and River Rock, taken in July 2019. Signs, colours and entrances may have changed since. The page on pictures explains where the others come from.
Is it legal in BC to play casino games online?
Yes: PlayNow.com, which BCLC operates, is the only legal place to gamble online in B.C. Nobody under 19 may gamble. A private site that is not PlayNow is where the home page sends readers through its paid link.
