Richmond at a glance

The Canada Line, opened in 2009, connects Richmond's city centre and Vancouver International Airport with downtown Vancouver. Richmond was incorporated in 1879 and sits mostly on Lulu Island and Sea Island in the Fraser River delta, protected by a network of dikes. The Richmond Olympic Oval, built for long-track speed skating at the 2010 Winter Games, is now a multi-sport community and training centre. A majority of Richmond's residents are of Asian heritage, and the city is known across North America for its Chinese restaurants and shopping malls. Much of Richmond lies only about a metre above sea level, which is why dikes and pump stations ring the city's shoreline.

The legal framework, in short

PlayNow.com, run by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), is the online casino authorised by the province of British Columbia. Other platforms you can reach in Richmond work under foreign licences, outside provincial supervision; iGaming Ontario licences only cover Ontario. Nothing targets the player, but you give up provincial consumer protections if something goes wrong. You must be 19 or older to gamble in British Columbia; age is verified with documents at the latest at the first cash-out.

Gambling responsibly in Richmond

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Keep clear money and time limits, and do not play after drinking or when you are upset. Free, confidential help is available at 1-888-795-6111 (the BC Gambling Support Line) for all residents of British Columbia, Richmond included. Your family doctor and the province's addiction services can also arrange free counselling, for players and their families.
