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.
DeborahTheMarvellous I'm really impressed with WinSpirit's new VIP program! The tournaments sound exciting, and it's great to see a casino actually listening to what their players want. Can't wait to see what they have planned next.
Parkerroberts This is a perfect example of why self-exclusion programs exist. They’re there to help people stay away from gambling. Trying to bypass them not only defeats the purpose but can lead to serious trouble like this.
Donaldbetty It's concerning to see such young individuals involved in large-scale cyber attacks. This shows the importance of investing in cybersecurity education and preventive measures from a young age. Hopefully, the authorities can get to the bottom of this and prevent future incidents.
HarrisJennifer3 Whoa whoa!
JasonTheDynamic The graphics are top-notch.
DonaldTheXtraordinary Wow, Jonathan Tamayo's win is incredible! But I totally agree with the conclusion. Poker requires so much skill and dedication. I’ve seen too many friends lose big trying to chase these rare wins. Slots are definitely more my speed – simple and fun!
HelenTheLoyal Wow, what an incredible win for Monica Bouma! It's true that the odds of hitting such a jackpot are insanely low, but it’s stories like these that keep people coming back. Congrats to her, though I'll stick to my smaller bingo games for fun.
HelenTheAmbitious It's great to see that Ontario is cracking down on unregulated gaming sites, but lowering the RTP to 85% feels like a sneaky way to take more from players. Regulation should mean better protection, not just more ways for the house to win.
CrazyDaniel Well, what can I say, guys, here's your trust for you. Instead of 96%, now it's 94% RTP.
ParkerSusan7 It's really disappointing to see someone with Drake's influence promoting gambling like this. Young fans might follow his lead without realizing the risks involved.
BarbaraTheYouthful Just another fantasy for the poor... No one really wins like that.
WilliamTheTenacious These new slots of yours are just another way to squeeze the last penny out of players' pockets. So where is the innovation here? Just beautifully drawn pictures and promises of big wins.
SandraTheXtraordinary Excited to see Wazdan's games coming to Fitzdares, but the reduced RTP is a bit concerning. Hope the gameplay still stays fun and rewarding!
CharlesTheLuminous Excited to see ODDSworks expanding in Ontario! Their games are top-notch, but I hope the lower RTP doesn't make it too hard to win.
RuthTheXtraordinary I can't believe how generous Nolimit City is with this tournament! 500 free spins and an iPhone 15 Plus for the winner? Count me in!
I appreciate the court's decision to support iGaming Ontario's model. It’s essential for maintaining a trustworthy gaming environment. Looking forward to seeing more high-tech jobs and benefits for our community!
This ruling is a significant milestone. It not only validates Ontario’s approach to igaming but also underscores the importance of a regulated market for player protection and economic growth. Kudos to iGaming Ontario!
I’m glad to see the court uphold iGaming Ontario’s model. It’s important that we have a regulated environment to ensure safe and fair play. Plus, the added jobs and economic boost are a big win for our province!
Great news for Ontario! This decision confirms that our igaming market is both legal and well-regulated. It's reassuring to know that players' data and funds are being protected while also contributing to public services.
