IGaming Ontario Executive Director, Martha Otton, commented on the latest financial results for the province, stating, “With CA$63bn in wagering and CA$2.4bn in gaming revenue, the second year of Ontario’s iGaming market is more than 70% bigger than the first.
"As the market matures into its third year, I look forward to building on this foundation of success with operators and other partners as they invest in Ontario so that Ontarians can continue to play with confidence.”
These results come shortly after a study conducted in Ontario a few weeks ago found that a majority of online players use regulated sites, two years after iGaming was legalized in the region.
