Speaking on the latest move, BetGames’ CEO Andreas Koeberl said:

“We’re absolutely delighted to have gained a supplier license for the Ontario market, allowing us to not only expand our global reach but entertain a new demographic of players with our casino, numbers-betting, and sports-betting products,” 

“Ontario’s regulated market is showing a lot of promise, we’re thrilled to be onboard and part of the excitement around this recently regulated market.”

Meanwhile, AGCO has announced that starting from 31 October it will act against unlicensed companies offering their services in Ontario. According to their statement:

 “As with any instance of non-compliance, the AGCO will take appropriate regulatory action against any registrant that does not meet this standard (once it comes into force).”
