Hi. I'm currently on a study permit without the right to work and I was wondering if I'm allowed to bet on sports.
When I was studying, I also sometimes bet, but very rarely and wisely, realizing that it is more entertainment than a way to earn money. The main thing is not to treat bets as a source of income. I recently read on https://www.chatsports.com/nfl/a/how-bet-nfl-games-42670 about how to bet on NFL games. This article helped me a little. If you decide to try, it is important to choose reliable platforms. But studying should remain a priority.
There is no law in Canada that prohibits students from betting, even if they are not eligible to work.
 
There's no law restricting you from gambling and windfall income from gambling related activities are tax free. The real question - is this the right thing to do given a student on limited income as is. Before making any decisions, take time to read reviews and research the best online casinos in Ontario. Not all platforms are trustworthy, and choosing wisely can help avoid unnecessary risks.
I completely agree that it is appropriate to assess financial capabilities. Student maximalism often leads to a dead end
