Court Decision Upholds iGaming Ontario's Model

iGaming Ontario is pleased with the Ontario Superior Court's decision, which confirmed that its model aligns with the Criminal Code and that it is effectively conducting and managing igaming in the province.

"We have always been confident in our model and are pleased that the court has ruled in our favour. Ontarians can continue to play with confidence in our regulated igaming market," said Martha Otton, Executive Director of iGaming Ontario.

Otton highlighted the benefits of Ontario's model, stating, "Ontario's model meets the requirements and contributes to the public good by protecting players, their data, and their funds. It also helps to fund priority public services in Ontario, and brings well-paid, high-tech jobs and economic development to the province."

The Superior Court dismissed the application brought by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK), affirming that iGaming Ontario is the "operating mind" behind Ontario's competitive igaming market in accordance with the conduct and manage requirements of the Criminal Code.

iGaming Ontario will continue to conduct and manage igaming as it has since the launch of the regulated market on April 4, 2022.
