The province of Ontario is set to launch iGaming on 4 April, with a number of betting operators and B2B suppliers ready to go, having been granted the relevant licences by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in recent weeks. 

By receiving a supplier licence, Play’n Go can now make its portfolio of games available to B2C operators in Ontario. Such titles include Rise of Olympus, Book of Dead, Reactoonz and Tome of Madness. 

Magnus Olsson, CCO, Play’n Go, commented: “Regulated markets are vital, not just to Play’n Go’s business strategy, but to the industry as a whole; they ensure a safe gaming environment for players, and operators can focus on providing a fun and entertaining experience that is truly sustainable. 

“Ontario is an important province, representing some 40% of the population of Canada, and we look forward to players there enjoying our games. With Ontario’s regulated market opening, followed by our entry into the USA, it’s set to be an exciting year for Play’n Go.” 

Sissel Weitzhandler, Play’n Go Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, said: “Our strategy remains to engage with all regulated jurisdictions, and we thank the AGCO for our licence award.

"The opening of Ontario’s regulated market is exciting and an important milestone in Play’n Go’s North American journey. We look forward to supporting our partners in Ontario from 4 April onwards.” 

In recent weeks, the AGCO has granted supplier licences to B2B companies, such as Bragg Gaming Group, Gaming Realms and High Five Games.
