Ontario’s fledgling sports-betting industry is now a full go.
Single-game sports betting has been legal in Canada since last summer but the industry didn’t fully open in Ontario until Monday.
And as of Friday, 25 operators were registered with iGaming Ontario.
Now, people in Ontario can bet on casino games, sporting events and other gambling activities through online websites and smartphone apps from operators registered to run activities in the provincially regulated market.
“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.
