What is on file for Ontario

01Framework

Regime

Private operators may be licensed locally and are supervised by a named authority.

Recorded framework: licensed market, transcribed from the jurisdiction's own law and regulator. GambleLABS has not yet completed an editorial review of it, so it is reference data rather than a GambleLABS assessment.

GambleLABS note

Internet gaming is registered and supervised by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario within a conduct-and-manage framework.

Recorded from

Read on . A citation, not a verdict: it records where this classification was transcribed from. Whether a GambleLABS editor has since checked it is the separate question answered above.

08Market

Market size, as published

Every figure is transcribed from a named publisher and carries the period it covers, the currency it was stated in and whether a reviewer confirmed it at source. Figures are never converted between currencies and never summed across metrics.

Amount wagered

Fiscal year April 2024 to March 2025

Verified at source — A GambleLABS reviewer opened the source and confirmed this figure.

CAD 82.70bn

CAD 82,700,000,000 as published

Total staked, counting re-staked winnings each time. Always far larger than revenue, and not comparable with it.

Total wagers, not revenue: the same money is staked and re-staked many times, which is why it is roughly 28 times the gaming revenue above. Casino play was 84% of it.

09Chronology

Activity timeline

Enforcement, licence changes, warning listings, reclassifications and published analysis for this jurisdiction, in date order. Each entry links to the record it came from; nothing here is a new claim.

Nothing dated has been recorded for Ontario. A timeline is built from records that already exist — it is not generated — so an empty chronology means no dated record has been published for this jurisdiction, not that nothing has happened in it.

10Editorial history

Classification revisions

How this jurisdiction's regime classification has changed, and on whose authority. Every change carries a source, a stated reason and a named reviewer.

This classification has not been changed since the record was created. Any future change will be listed here with its date, its stated reason, the source it rests on and the reviewer who made it.

Sources, method and limits

What this profile rests on, and what it cannot tell you.

What this record cannot tell you

  • GambleLABS has not completed an editorial review of this jurisdiction. The regime shown is transcribed from the jurisdiction's own law and regulator and is marked unverified: it is reference data, not a GambleLABS assessment.
  • No authority here publishes a licence register that GambleLABS can read. Licence status therefore cannot be checked against a primary source, and no licence records are held.
  • No enforcement actions are on file. Absence of records is not evidence of an absence of enforcement: it usually means the authority does not publish decisions in a form that can be collected.
  • Source feeds are declared for this jurisdiction but none is currently connected, so the record set may lag the authority's own publications.
  • Individual statutes and licence conditions are not held as records. The regime classification and the authority's own published material are the legal basis this profile can evidence; primary legislation must be read at the authority's site.

Where this comes from

Authorities and their official URLs are verified against each body’s own site. Licences and enforcement records are transcribed from the register or notice named on each record. Market figures come from the publisher named beside them. Analysis is GambleLABS work, labelled with its evidence standard and its source count.
