The chief executive officer of Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. would like to see online casino and sports betting sites dial back the advertising a bit.
During an appearance before the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Monday, OLG CEO Duncan Hannay was asked about the apparent explosion in advertising for legal sports betting and otherwise in the province.
“We are facing 47 new legal operators… in the iGaming space,” Hannay said. “I think it would be appropriate to have a better balance of advertising, on balance. And I know that’s how the regulator is looking at this issue and reviewing input from stakeholders across the province, within the operator community, with outside interests, with public health organizations, and from OLG.”
