In this article – “Upping the ante: Ontario’s iGaming model will be industry game changer” – we review the significant developments in the Internet gaming sector in Canada in 2021, including the federal legalization of single-event sports betting and the proposed regulatory framework for Internet gaming in Ontario, which will provide private operators with immense and unique opportunities. We outline the registration process and applicable standards and policies for interested parties in the province, and discuss ongoing issues in the sector that are still being resolved.
