Microgaming enters new Ontario regulated market
The largest developer of online gambling games Microgaming has announced its entry into the market of the Canadian province of Ontario.
In April 2022, a historic event took place in Canada - the legal online betting market opened. Ontario has become the first province to have 25 betting companies operating since April 4th. Also, private gambling software development companies have started to operate on the market - Play'n GO, Pariplay, Nolimit City, Quickspin, Evolution, Relax Gaming. These ranks will now be joined by Microgaming, whose games are presented in many online casinos. One of these casinos can be found here.
In the coming days, the gambling provider will launch its rich library in the province of Canada. The company, which is based in the Isle of Man, will provide over 300 online slots for the first time in this part of the world.
In honour of this, Microgaming is preparing to introduce its first secure Mega Moolah progressive jackpot game, which will be exclusive to Ontario players. In addition, residents of the province will be able to access a popular selection of games created by partner studios.
Recall that until April this year, online betting in Canada was in the so-called "grey zone". That is, they were not prohibited, but were subject to a number of severe restrictions.


Sasuke12345678 Finally, some sensible limits! Protecting younger players with lower stake caps is a smart move, though I do wonder if high-stakes enthusiasts will simply migrate to less regulated platforms.


YellowKetch Great move by LeoVegas! Excited to see how this transition improves the sportsbook experience. Hope they bring better odds and more live betting options!


yellowpine I really don’t understand how the government can make these changes without proper safeguards in place. Northern Ireland already has one of the highest gambling addiction rates, and now we’re increasing the risks with higher stakes. Where’s the plan to protect vulnerable players? It feels like the government is prioritizing revenue over public health.


TheHereTom It's mind-blowing how these gambling giants rake in massive profits while their customers, often struggling with addiction, lose everything. The tax payments might be high, but what about the social impact? It’s time for tighter regulations to protect vulnerable players.


YellowThundy It's great to see Turkey taking a strong stand against illegal gambling. Ontario could definitely benefit from a similar crackdown to protect players and ensure the integrity of the gambling market.
