pickering-casino.com is an independent guide written for people heading to Pickering Casino Resort, or wondering whether they can play it online. We are not the resort. Great Canadian Entertainment runs Pickering Casino Resort and its official pages live on greatcanadian.com. OLG and iGaming Ontario run Ontario’s legal online gambling. None of them owns, funds or reviews this site.
This domain started over in November 2026 as an unaffiliated guide. Anything we couldn’t confirm at that point was left out.
What we cover
Eight guide pages, one subject: the resort in Pickering and the online question that comes with it. That means hours, getting there, the hotel, the restaurants, The Arena, the poker room and tables, the GC Rewards app, promotions, and what is and isn’t legal online in Ontario. We write for visitors from Durham Region, Toronto and the rest of Ontario, which is where most of our readers come from.
Our sources
Most of the numbers on this site (game counts, poker stakes, room sizes and fees, restaurant hours, Arena rules, promotion dates) come from Great Canadian’s Pickering pages on greatcanadian.com. The legal side comes from iGaming Ontario’s operator list and FAQ, the AGCO, OLG’s PlaySmart pages and ConnexOntario. The GC Rewards details are taken from its two store listings.
Where the operator says nothing, we use releases and reporting: Unifor’s releases on the 2026 strike, Global News on the hotel opening and the Arena’s size, and NOW Toronto’s report from opening week in July 2021.
The “Sources re-read” stamp under each headline is the day we last went through that page. Where a source is old or second-hand, the page says so. Where we couldn’t confirm something (most restaurant hours, for example), we write “not posted” rather than fill the gap.
We haven’t stayed in the hotel or played a tournament for this edition. So you won’t find star ratings or “we loved the steak”. The verdict on the front page weighs what’s on offer; it isn’t a stay report.
How the site makes money
Buttons labelled “See today’s offer” are paid referral links. Behind them is an outside online casino picked by our referral partner, and the pick may change. It is never Pickering Casino Resort, which has no online casino to refer anyone to. We earn if a reader signs up there.
That’s also why the offer boxes in our articles carry a note: check the operator on iGaming Ontario’s list before you deposit. Referral income doesn’t buy coverage here, and no operator has seen or approved this text.
Things this site can’t handle
Room bookings, Arena tickets, Rewards account problems and messages for the resort all sit outside what we do. For any of that, use the numbers on our visitor guide, which go to the resort itself. If gambling is starting to worry you, the Ontario helplines are on our responsible gaming page.
