New support in Canada’s most populous province and enhanced technology are opening doors for expanded live horse race betting.
Woodbine Entertainment, the largest horse racing operator in Canada, announced a deal on Tuesday with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to provide pari-mutuel betting on live races throughout the province, as OLG becomes Canada’s first provincial lottery and gaming agency to provide a digital product to horseplayers.
“We are excited to offer access to this experience to our online players, providing another way for them to engage in the thrilling sport of horse racing,” said Dave Pridmore, OLG’s chief gaming officer. “This collaboration represents an important step in our mandate of supporting the sport and a vibrant, competitive, and sustainable horse racing industry in Ontario.”
