The iGaming brand has been granted its license by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

As Ontario’s iGaming and single-event sports betting market continues to develop, more and more operators are throwing their hats into the ring. One such operator is ComeOn Group, which is set to launch its offering in Canada’s most populous province soon.

This launch, which is facilitated by a Gaming License offered by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, will see the company release its flagship brand, ComeOn!, in the region. 

Speaking on this, Juergen Reutter, CEO at ComeOn Group said: “With Ontario regulating, we are delighted to have been granted a license in one of the largest regulated states in North America. ComeOn! has been one of our flagship brands for more than 12 years and is powered by our proprietary iGaming platform we keep innovating on to provide an exciting and safe player experience to our customers.

“We will bring WeSpin and other Casino innovations to the market as we have done in so many locally regulated markets before. To add, this license process has showcased once more the strength of our teams coming together to make this happen in a timely fashion!”

The Ontario iGaming and single-event sports betting industry is one of boundless potential, with revenue predictions coming in at around $1.5bn annually. 

Among the brands currently approved to operate in Ontario are PointsBet, BetMGM Ontario, Unibet, Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers brand, Coolbet, LottoGo, Fitzdares, bet365, LeoVegas, World Series of Poker, Rivalry, Royal Panda, theScore and 888.

Speaking to Gaming America on the potential of Ontario’s market, Paul Burns, the President and CEO of the Canadian Gaming Association, said: “Ontario’s gaming market will be unique to North America because it is open license, meaning any company that wants to apply to operate is free to do so. There is no tethering and no restrictions on this.”
