The regulator of online sports betting in Ontario has had enough of the “grey” market.
On Tuesday, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) announced a new standard for internet gambling that will come into effect on October 31 and takes aim at unauthorized operators in the province.
In short, the “transition period” offered to unregulated operators is coming to an end. By Halloween, online sportsbooks that are taking bets in Ontario without meeting all the necessary criteria must stop doing so — or the operator of that site or app may find itself in the bad books of provincial regulators.
