iGO reports robust first year for Ontario’s open sports-betting market

TORONTO — It’s been quite an opening year for Ontario’s fledgling open sports-betting market.

iGaming Ontario announced Tuesday — the Ontario market’s first anniversary — the province delivered about $35.6 billion in total wagers and approximately $1.4 billion in total gaming revenue.

It added that placed the province among North America’s top five igaming jurisdictions.

Last April, Ontario was the first Canadian province to launch an open, regulated igaming market.
