Over three months after the full launch of Ontario’s sports-betting industry, a survey conducted by Canada Sports Betting suggests a majority of people in the province haven’t taken to wagering on athletic events.

Canada Sports Betting surveyed 1,222 people between July 19-20 regarding their views on the regulated sports-betting market. It came after the industry in Ontario fully launched April 4 with 619 of the respondents (51 per cent) being male and the remaining 603 (49 per cent) being female.

When asked if they were aware of Ontario’s full launch, 55 per cent replied they weren’t. Of respondents indicating they were interested in sports betting, 55.5 per cent said they hadn’t wagered on sports since it became legal to do so. Ten per cent of that group stated they wager monthly while 8.7 per cent said daily.
