The Ontario commercial market went live two years ago and is the first Canadian province to offer iGaming to its residents. Up to now, local lotteries have traditionally dominated Canada’s gambling sector.
In related news, the Ontario Government recently initiated a $9m three-year investment plan through the Responsible Internet Gambling Fund (RIGF). The local government made the announcement during the Responsible Gambling Council’s annual Discovery Conference.
The additional funding will pave the way for the Responsible Gaming Council to “to further enhance its consumer education campaigns, expand community outreach programming, and build partnerships with local community groups to deliver its message to more Ontarians.”
Part of the RIGF funding plan is designed to “help ensure a holistic consumer education and prevention strategy is in place and information and resources are available to better support all those at risk of experiencing harm through gambling.”
