Players throughout the province can now access games from four Rootz casino brands.

Rootz  has been granted a license by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The approval gives Ontario players access to four of Rootz casino brands, including Wildz, Wheelz and Caxino, as well as to the streaming brand Spinz.

Group CEO Lasse Rantala said gaining access to the Canadian province is an important step in the company’s ongoing expansion plan.

Rantala commented: “Increasing our footprint within regulated markets is in line with a dynamic strategy that seeks to provide innovative gaming solutions to players around the world.

“Ontario is an important market for us, and we welcome the opportunity provided by AGCO to become a licensed operator and to enter into an operational agreement with iGO.”

Rantala went on to add that the company’s commitment to creating a safe gaming space remains a priority.

Rantala concluded by saying: “Full credit goes to our first-rate teams for the Ontario licensing achievement: as an operator, we prioritize the need for safe, secure and fair play; the strict compliance requirements within regulated markets such as Ontario and Germany will provide peace of mind to our customers that they are enjoying play experiences with a licensed provider.”

Rootz’ four casino brands run off of the company’s proprietary platform. They function using a single account structure, which allows players to access all brands through a virtual wallet and single account.

Players can access Journeys, the group’s CRM tool that is designed for quick and easy access to games. The tool is automated and can be customized for a user’s personal preferences.
