Ontario Online Casinos Open With Great iGaming Options

“O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all of us command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!”

Oh, yeah, Ontarian entrepreneurs, you are now legally free to create your own online operations – that can provide eager bettors with options including sports, esports events and, of course, casino games – but only after complying with all of the rules and regulations of the provincially regulated iGaming marketplace (aka the Best Online Casino Ever in Ontario), which officially launched to great fanfare on Monday, April 4.

Single-game sports betting has been legal in Canada since 2021 but the industry didn't fully open in Ontario until Monday.

It’s been reported that 25-30 government-approved operations were up and running as of Monday night with many more to follow. Just in time for the men’s NCAA Championship game (April 4), the start of the 2022 Major League Baseball season, and The Masters. Is this the first domino to fall, with Canada’s nine other provinces looking to follow Ontario’s lead and benefit by getting in on the wagering tax windfall in the future? Seems more than likely now that it’s legal in Ontario – and online company execs are celebrating Monday’s launch.

"Until now, we've been unable to legally offer a product, or offer a product at all, in this market," said Steven Salz, the CEO and co-founder of the Toronto-based site Rivalry. "It's a net-new market for us and we have a bit of a home-court advantage."

"Today is a great day for Ontario sports fans," said Scott Vanderwel, the chief executive officer of PointsBet Canada. "I'd like to share how thrilled we are to see the province's sports wagering market officially open.”

Not only does legalizing sports betting lead to increased revenue for sports teams, TV providers, and advertisers — but it also means more tax revenue, too. The local provinces and the federal government will pull in more tax revenue.
