      Where this guide stops

      Border documents are outside this guide. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) sets the rules for entering Canada, including which travel documents are accepted. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP, cbp.gov) sets them for entering the United States. This guide does not list border documents.

      Clocks match on both sides of the river: Windsor and Detroit both keep Eastern Time. The tools on this site read both clocks from the browser's time-zone data, America/Toronto and America/Detroit. For currency exchange, the main cashier at Caesars Windsor has the information.

        Nineteen at the door, 21 for the card

        The casino and its related outlets at Caesars Windsor are 19+. All ages are welcome in the Augustus Tower and the convention complex.

        Caesars Rewards has a separate threshold: a person must be 21 or older to enrol. Valid government-issued photo ID is the proof of age for the card and for redeeming Reward Credits.

        Where online play ends

        Regulated online gambling in Ontario is 19+ and requires the player to be physically in the province. An account can be opened or accessed from outside Ontario, but bets cannot be placed there.

        Private sites must be registered by the AGCO, the regulator, and hold an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. The official list of regulated sites is the iGO directory at igamingontario.ca. OLG.ca is the government-run online casino of Ontario. The online page of this guide sets out how the market works.

        Questions at the gate

        Can a 19-year-old visiting from Michigan play at Caesars Windsor?

        Yes, Ontario's line applies at the door. Under the Gaming Control Act, 1992, s. 2(3), no one under 19 may enter or remain in a gaming site, except in the course of employment.

        Which bus drops off near the casino?

        The Linq Tunnel Bus, a private service, drops off at McDougall St & University Ave E on the way back from Detroit, near the casino. The city-run Tunnel Bus no longer runs. Fares and timetables are not given in this guide.

        Does the casino floor ever close?

        The floor does not close: slots and tables at Caesars Windsor run 24/7. Holiday changes are not listed in this guide, so 1-800-991-7777 is the number to check.

        Can a phone in Detroit place a bet on an Ontario site?

        A bet on a regulated Ontario site requires the player to be physically in Ontario. An account can be opened or accessed from Detroit, but the bet itself cannot be placed there.

        Does this guide list the documents needed at the border?

        This guide does not list border documents. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) sets the rules for entering Canada. U.S. Customs and Border Protection sets them for entering the United States at cbp.gov.
