The chief executive officer of the company sitting atop the operators of Bet99 says they are getting close to securing the approvals needed to legally offer online sports betting in Ontario.

Sports Venture Holdings Inc. (SVH) is the parent company of subsidiaries that run Bet99, and SVH CEO Jared Beber says the online sportsbook and casino operator is making progress towards launching in Ontario’s regulated market for internet gambling.

“We’re getting close, we’re not quite there,” Beber said in a recent interview with Covers. “I wouldn’t want to speak to a timeline, because ultimately that’s at the discretion of the regulators, but we are well through the process and very much so nearing the finish line.”
