ComeOn Group Launches Sportsbook in Ontario Market
ComeOn Group has expanded its presence in Ontario by adding a sportsbook to its existing online casino platform. After receiving the necessary licenses, the company aims to grow its sportsbook business significantly in the coming years, leveraging proprietary technology and tailored risk management to enhance its operations in Ontario's competitive market. The Ontario gaming market, projected to reach C$6.7 billion in 2023, continues to show strong growth potential, which ComeOn is tapping into as part of its global expansion strategy.
However, players should be cautious about the casino side of things. While the sportsbook offering may be appealing, the casino games available under Ontario's licensing regulations are facing major concerns. With a reduced RTP (Return to Player) of just 80%, these slots are far from competitive, leading many to consider the casino experience a scam. While sports betting might provide a fairer experience, those looking for a decent return on slots will likely be disappointed by the drastically lower RTPs.
ComeOn's CEO, Juergen Reutter, emphasized the company's excitement about its Ontario growth and the strategic importance of combining the sportsbook with its existing casino platform. Yet, the concern remains that while players may enjoy the sportsbook offerings, the casino games with such low RTP are not a sustainable option for those seeking fair play.

EdwardsPatricia2 Come on, Bonanza is really the best, it has saved my bank many times. If it weren't for it, I would have been sitting in the red for a long time. But the music is already boring, it's really annoying, I always turn it off.
CunningHawk People have so much free time - to lose at the casino, watch streams and go to work to earn money for the casino. Amazing.
LisaTheTrustworthy Fallsview is total crap! I was there, queues everywhere, the staff is rude. And the prices in the restaurant are just outrageous! I don't recommend it to anyone.
lopezGarcia I don’t trust anyone!
rodriguezAllen Proof or not)
RichardTheOptimistic Century top!
CharlesThomas No surprise here—gambling keeps breaking records because it’s everywhere now. From online casinos to sports betting, it feels like everyone’s cashing in except the players!
dorothycarter4t It’s always the same story—big money talks, and everyone else suffers. Gambling ads flood every sporting event, and now the government can’t even agree on basic reforms? Disappointing but not surprising.
BettyTheBrilliant While the levy is a step in the right direction for tackling gambling harms, we need to make sure operators don’t just pass the cost onto players by lowering RTPs. It should be a win-win for both the industry and consumers.
AdamsJennifer Finally, a use for all those meme coins I bought on a whim! Turning them into USDT and hitting the slots at BitStarz sounds like a win-win to me.
HelenTheKindhearted 4Kasino and Betcoin seem to keep up the standards, but Sportaza and Dream.Bet in the blacklist? These scammers are at it again.
AllenBetty9 You look at everything so seriously. Well, streamers are streamers, what's there to worry about, there are thousands of them
BrianTheZealous Come on, seriously? I've been playing their slots for 3 years now, I would never have thought that they had such a dark past. And now they are truly one of the best providers.
CharlesTheSpirited Wildz hosting an esports tournament feels like a sneaky way to market their casino to younger audiences. Reduced RTP rates and now targeting gamers? Hard pass for me. Thanks for the heads-up about this shady tactic!
CarolTheCunning I was so excited when I heard about The Walking Dead slot, but if the RTP isn’t fair, what’s the point? Fans deserve better than flashy branding with poor payouts.
I’m all for sports betting, but until they fix those casino RTP rates, I’ll be steering clear of their slots.
It’s nice that ComeOn is adding variety with a sportsbook, but when the casino slots are giving an 80% RTP, I’m not sure it’s the best choice for players.
While the sportsbook could be fun, I’m worried the low RTP on the casino side will make this more of a gamble than it’s worth.
Finally, a sportsbook in Ontario! But those reduced RTP slots are definitely a dealbreaker for me.
Great to see ComeOn expanding, but those casino RTP numbers? Not so great. Players deserve better than that.
