Ontario Online Gambling Profits Surge, But the RTP of Slots Remains Low
It’s hardly surprising that Ontario’s online gambling market has hit a record high of CA$22.7 billion in the third quarter of the 2024-25 fiscal year, reflecting a 32% year-over-year increase. After all, with the RTP (Return to Player) on slots capped at a mere 80%, it’s no wonder profits are growing for the casinos while players are losing more. The high profit margins for these operators come at the expense of players, who are left with little to no real opportunity to win in the long term.
The casino sector, which continues to dominate the market with a whopping CA$18.9 billion in total spending for Q3, represents 83% of the market's activity. However, the high profits for these casinos don’t translate into fair chances for players, especially with slots offering such low RTP. Players may see an occasional big win, but these are outliers, not the norm.
While Ontario's iGaming framework offers some transparency and regulation, it does little to address the reality that many players are unknowingly participating in a system rigged against them due to poor payout rates. If you're looking for a more reliable and player-friendly gambling experience, we strongly recommend seeking out licensed bookmakers and casinos that operate with a higher RTP.

With the expansion of Ontario’s online gambling market, the growth in revenue is clearly benefiting the operators. However, players looking to maximize their chances of success should be wary of the low RTP slots and instead consider alternatives that offer fairer odds and better transparency.
Spartan113 Informative, thanks to the author! Now I will know that this has happened. The lesson for the future is to check everything three times.
MisterM1mba One thing is clear – if the software is buggy, then it is a casino problem. Why should a player suffer?
Yukiiihira The coefficient for the passage of the Villa is almost 10! I took it purely for fun, you never know, suddenly like Barca once.
o0oSoyao0o Well, soon there will be not only skyscrapers in Dubai, but also Book of Ra slot machines.
Smoolbeansam Do I think it's getting harder and harder to understand the rules in these new slots? It used to be simple - you spin the reels and look at the lines. And now there are some pedestals, cascades, respins... I'm completely confused! And what is volatility? Can anyone explain it in simple terms?

While the numbers may look good on paper for the casinos, they’re bad news for players. The low RTP on most games means the profits are mostly going into the pockets of the operators. Stick with regulated bookmakers where the odds are better and the RTP higher!
The increasing profits for online casinos in Ontario are alarming when you consider how much players are losing due to low RTP slots. It's time for players to wake up and realize that the house always wins with these odds.
This is just another example of how the odds are stacked against players. With an RTP of 80%, the chances of actually winning are slim, no matter how much you wager. I’d advise finding casinos that offer better payout rates and more transparency.
It’s not surprising to see these record profits when the RTP of slots is so low. Players are being set up for disappointment while the casinos rake in all the money. If you're looking for fair play, I'd recommend sticking with licensed bookmakers instead.
