# Game Lawyers Talk About iGaming Ontario And More

Ontario launched its online gaming and sports betting market earlier this year, with industry experts now sharing their first impressions of the framework. Most recently, Cameron MacDonald, co-chair of national sports and game law practice at Toronto-based Borden Radner LLP, says the market's true potential has not yet been revived.

The local iGaming framework officially began operations on April 4, 2022, and is the first market in Canada. It is regulated by Ontario's Alcohol and Gaming Commission and its subsidiary, iGaming Ontario, and has collected more than C$10 billion in handles so far, but some experts believe it has performed poorly compared to the United States.

Nevertheless, McDonald's colleague Galen Flaherty says comparisons with the U.S. market are not fair. According to him, Canada allowed the Grey Market brand to operate with impunity, which means things are different from American brands where gambling laws were actively enforced. Therefore, this means a much longer transition period for offshore operators in Canada.

Mr Flaherty argued that Ontario numbers were promising and indicated that growth was accelerating in the sector. According to him, the third quarter usually has the most betting activity as major leagues return to the regular season. In addition, he predicted that the state could soon have more than 70 websites online and accept bets.

In October, AGCO announced that the state would end its transition period for Greymarket operators on October 31, 2022. The Commission has set a date for operators to comply with the new standards. Game brands that fail to do so risk being out of the eyes of local regulators and could potentially lose their opportunities to register.

Meanwhile, Mr. McDonald also supported the potential of the state's market due to the huge demand for online games among local players. Previously, the Canadian Games Summit reported a lot of interest in local sectors in other jurisdictions, as Canadians' fraudulent attempts to access the market reached 15 million.

Damian Goodwin, UK-based chief operating officer of King's Entertainment Group, an international online game company that has focused on Latin America so far, is also interested in the market. The CEO said the company is interested in starting operations on this market with the introduction of a regulated market.

Recently, AGCO also released a second-quarter report on the local eye-gaming sector. Effective from July 1 to September 30, 2022, the province generated a total betting handle of C$6.04 billion and more than C$267 million in game revenue. At the time, 24 operators and 42 game websites were operating in the province and had more than 628,000 active users.
