Maverick Games will offer Ontarian players a premium sports betting experience, built on Delasport’s superior technology and known for its unique innovative features that players love, including personalization, recommendations, gamification, quick bets, player engagement features, and more.

Maverick Games is the second brand to launch with Delasport’s technology in Ontario, with another full turnkey brand set to go live soon. We also recently unveiled our innovative sports betting jackpot product, SuperPot. The company will showcase this unique product at the Canadian Gaming Summit next month and begin rolling it out to Ontario operators shortly thereafter.

The launch reinforces both companies’ commitment to growth and innovation in the regulated Canadian market.

“We are proud to see Maverick Games live and thriving with our one-of-a-kind sportsbook solution at its core,” says Rosaire Galea Cavallaro, VP of Business Development at Delasport. “They have been a fantastic partner from the start, and this launch further demonstrates how fast and efficient our technology is when paired with a clear vision and strong collaboration.”

The Canada-based brand’s team is equally enthusiastic about the launch and the possibilities ahead.

“Maverick Games’s sports vertical is a major step forward for us, and launching it with Delasport has been the right move from day one,” says Matt Rathbun, CEO. “The platform’s performance and flexibility allow us to deliver the kind of user experience we believe Ontario players deserve. We're excited to now bring that vision to life.”

The launch of Maverick Games also cements Delasport’s growing footprint in Ontario, a market where it continues to expand following its license acquisition.

Seizing the momentum of Ontario’s iGaming landscape, we’re sharing exclusive insights and official market data ahead of the Canadian Gaming Summit, offering a valuable opportunity to explore one of the industry’s most promising and tightly regulated markets. Our team will be on-site, ready to dive deeper into how operators can thrive in Ontario with the right guidance.

Of this total, CA$2.40 billion (US$1.73 billion) came from online casino gaming, representing a 36% annual increase. Sports betting generated CA$724 million (US$521 million) - a 23% increase.

Total online wagers hit CA$82.7 billion (US$59.5 billion), up 31% from the previous year. Casino games led in wagering volume at CA$69.6 billion (US$50.1 billion), followed by betting at CA$11.4 billion (US$8.2 billion) and poker at CA$1.7 billion (US$1.22 billion).

In March 2025 alone, iGaming revenue reached CA$294.8 million (US$212.3 million), with 1.1 million active player accounts and an average revenue per account of CA$278 (US$201,90).

Ontario offers one of the most clearly structured and commercially attractive regulatory environments for B2C iGaming operators globally. Since the market's official launch in 2022, the province has implemented a dual-agency model that balances oversight, commercial viability, and player protection.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) serves as the regulatory authority responsible for licensing and enforcing compliance with technical and operational standards under the Gaming Control Act, 1992. In parallel, iGaming Ontario (iGO) - established to conduct and manage iGaming on behalf of the province - enters into operating agreements with private-sector operators registered with the AGCO.

These private operators offer casino, sports betting, and other interactive gambling products through digital platforms under a centralized, government-managed framework. iGO retains overarching responsibility for ensuring that iGaming in Ontario aligns with provincial laws and public interest objectives, while day-to-day operations, platform management, and customer interactions are carried out by registered operators.

Ontario’s model promotes a competitive yet controlled environment, where operators must adhere to strict rules on advertising, responsible gambling, and player integrity, while still having the commercial freedom to innovate and differentiate. The system is designed to displace the unregulated market, protect consumers, and generate public benefit, ensuring that all gaming activity is accountable, transparent, and aligned with provincial standards.

For B2C iGaming operators, this framework offers a stable, scalable foundation backed by a regulatory structure that is both collaborative and forward-looking.

Core Marketing Standards: Truthful, Responsible, and Targeted

Ontario’s framework demands that advertising:

• Avoids targeting minors, self-excluded, or high-risk individuals;
• Excludes depictions or suggestions that gambling is a solution to financial hardship, a route to personal success, or a source of social recognition;
• Does not glamorize or mislead by implying that skill influences random outcomes or that playing longer improves one’s chances of winning;
• Includes responsible gambling messaging in every material;
• Ensures players can withdraw consent from direct advertising at any time.

An Opportunity for Integrity-Driven Growth

While Ontario’s approach may appear restrictive compared to U.S. jurisdictions, its framework reflects a distinctly Canadian commitment to player protection, market stability, and public trust. For compliance-led organizations like ours, this environment offers an opportunity to stand out as a reliable partner capable of navigating complexity.

As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, we remain fully engaged. We’re actively tracking AGCO developments, aligning with enforcement trends, and equipping our operator partners with the clarity and tools needed to thrive in Ontario’s maturing iGaming market.

Popular Sports in Ontario

Sports betting accounted for CA$724 million (US$521 million) in revenue and CA$11.4 billion (US$8.2 billion) in total wagers in 2024-25.

As we have mentioned in one of our previous market reviews about Ontario hockey holds a special place as Canada’s national sport, making it a perennial favorite among Ontario bettors. However, given that the majority of Ontarians live within 100 miles of the U.S. border and have widespread access to American broadcast networks, U.S. sports also enjoy significant popularity in the province. Major American events—including NFL games, college football, and NCAA basketball—are regularly aired across Ontario, contributing to strong betting interest in both domestic and cross-border competitions.

In addition to hockey and football, Canadian sportsbooks see steady action on baseball, lacrosse, golf, boxing, and horse racing, reflecting the diverse sporting interests of the local betting community.

Popular Casino Games in Ontario

Casino gaming continues to dominate Ontario’s iGaming revenue, contributing CA$2.40 billion (US$1.73 billion) of the total CA$3.20 billion (US$2.32 billion) in 2024-25.

Ontario’s online casino vertical continues to thrive, driven by strong consumer demand across key product categories. Top-performing segments include:

• Online slots
• Live dealer games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat
• Table games, including poker variants and craps
• Instant win and virtual games

In the 2024–25 fiscal year, casino wagers reached CA$69.6 billion (US$50.1 billion) - a 34% increase year-over-year. This sharp growth underscores the sustained popularity and diversity of digital casino offerings in Ontario’s regulated iGaming market.

Player Demographics and Behavior

Key statistics:

• ~1.1 million active player accounts as of March 2025
• 72% of play occurs via mobile devices
• Player age range: 25–44 is the dominant group
• Average revenue per account: CA$278 monthly
• High engagement in multi-account usage: ~2.3 sites per player

While publicly available reports offer limited demographic detail on Ontario’s online gamblers, third-party research and industry observations indicate that the market primarily attracts younger male adults. Studies of online sports bettors typically show that 70–80% are male, with the majority aged between 19 and 45 - a trend that appears consistent in Ontario. Operators have noted that a significant portion of their user base is under 50, with the most active engagement coming from the 25–44 age group. Sports betting tends to draw a younger, predominantly male audience - largely in their 20s and 30s - while online casino gaming, though still male-dominated, appeals to a broader demographic, including older players.

Legally, all participants in Ontario’s regulated iGaming market must be at least 19 years old and physically located within the province. This is enforced through strict identity verification and geolocation measures upon registration. Within this adult user base, a strong uptake has been observed across age ranges, from college-aged individuals to middle-aged players. Mobile-first platforms have likely contributed to higher engagement among tech-savvy younger adults, while more traditional casino games attract older players familiar with land-based casinos or Ontario’s OLG.ca.

As the market continues to evolve, demographic analysis is expected to deepen. Early trends suggest high participation from the 20–40 age segment and growing interest from women—still a minority in the space but an expanding group, particularly in casual casino games. Player preferences also vary by demographic: younger males often favor sportsbooks and esports, while older users may lean toward online slots and table games.

Looking Ahead

Ontario’s iGaming market is on a clear upward trajectory, bolstered by:

• A well-regulated environment
• High consumer trust
• A diverse portfolio of 84 gaming websites operated by 49 licensed companies

With surging revenues, sustained player engagement, and a maturing regulatory framework, Ontario’s online gambling industry continues to deliver strong, profitable growth — firmly establishing the province as a global benchmark for regulated iGaming.

Backed by our proven track record of high-performing partnerships, we’re emerging as the partner of choice for operators aiming to succeed and scale in this dynamic and lucrative market. This is why anyone interested in growing their regulated operation should reach out for a meeting with us during the upcoming Canadian Gaming Summit in Toronto.

We will provide our award-winning Plug & Play Sportsbook iFrame solution so that GBL can add it to their growing platform.

The deal is expected to come to fruition by the end of this quarter and is yet another strategic move by Delasport, who successfully obtained an Ontario license earlier this year.

Opinions

‘We are happy to extend our foothold in Ontario and make it happen with a great partner like Green Brick Labs, adding to our confidence as a leading software supplier’, says Delasport’s VP of Business Development Rosaire Galea Cavallaro. ‘Our Plug & Play sportsbook iFrame solution will skyrocket GBL’s operations due to the high quality of service they will be able to provide to their customers and we couldn’t be prouder.’

The Canada-based operator shares a similar opinion and as much excitement for the new partnership:

‘This is exactly the type of product we needed and is yet another proof that we provide the best solutions on the market for our customers’, GBL’s CEO Matt Rathbun comments. ‘At GBL, we prioritize great user experience, so this deal fits our vision perfectly.’

About GBL

Since 2014, GBL has helped the iGaming industry capitalize on the rapidly growing digital currency market. The company has recognized the need to help operators improve their payment efficiency and lower the overall time and cost of processing a transaction through the use of Bitcoin.

In parallel, the team created a white-labeled iGaming software platform that will be utilized with the upcoming launch of their new site Maverick Games in Q4 this year. By improving the overall deposit and withdrawal flow, GBL’s goal was to create the ultimate end-to-end player experience.

They have since expanded their offering by creating a next-gen modular iGaming platform that integrates easily with other content providers and proved to be among the most innovative iGaming companies on the market.

The current Ontario iGaming market

The government passed bill C-218 in 2021, amending the regulations that prohibited online gambling and transforming the internet gaming scene in Canada. Following the passage of the law, the Canadian gaming sector was permitted to collaborate with provincial partners to provide sports betting enthusiasts with single-event wagering. On April 4, 2022, Ontario, which is home to 40% of Canada's population, opened its doors to legal online gaming. Since that time, 13 operators have gone online, and another 27 gaming operators have already registered with the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission.

According to the Auditor General of Ontario, the market size is anticipated to be 800 million CA$ GGY (about 600 million Euro), and the provincial government expects iGaming Ontario to have a net profit of 18 million CA$ for the fiscal year 2022–2023. After that, a net income of $26 million is anticipated in 2023–2024 and $31 million in 2024–2025; totaling $75 million over three years.

After the more established U.S. markets of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Ontario is likely to rank as the third-largest regulated online market in North America by 2026.

iGaming legislation in Ontario

The Ontario market was regarded as "Gray" until April 2022, with remote wagers being accepted from offshore operators. In contrast to other jurisdictions that have recently established their markets, the AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) adopted a different strategy for establishing a regionally controlled market. The province of Ontario established a transition period during which offshore operators might apply for a new license and set a comparatively low tax rate known as "revenue sharing."

Since April 4, 2022, licensed operators who have registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and who have signed an Operating Agreement with the AGCO's newly established subsidiary, iGaming Ontario, may now provide internet gaming in the province (iGO).

The AGCO is the department of the Ontario provincial government in charge of gaming regulation. With the creation of iGO, there are now two Crown organizations under the AGCO's jurisdiction that are in charge of managing and regulating iGaming in the province.

• The Ontario Lottery and Gambling Organization (OLG) supervises online gaming in Ontario. Additionally, the OLG operates lotteries in brick-and-mortar casinos.
• The iGO, which was established as an AGCO subsidiary, oversees the management of online gaming when it is offered by private operators. It is not associated with any land-based gaming establishments and does not manage OLG concerns.

An open license approach

The government is unmistakably focused on the economic opportunity with its agenda for pushing internet gaming in Ontario. Under the province's open licensing approach, the number of online gambling operators permitted to register with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is currently unrestricted (AGCO). ‎

The "tethered" strategy, used in states like New York and Michigan, requires each online sportsbook to collaborate with a physical casino, making this the first model of its kind in North America. The growth of Ontario's new iGaming industry depends on the open-ended license programme, which should draw and register more online gaming enterprises than other comparable North American states.

Each brand (URL) needs to have its own bank account, B2C license, and a security deposit equal to the lower of $5M CAD or the last 12 months' GGR (first year based on the first 2 months of GGR (pro-rated).

The licensing charge is $100,000 CAD (about €70,000) per site/brand each year.

‎

Similarities to Europe

The independent source of iGaming business analytics, VIXIO GamblingCompliance, has reported that a number of features of Ontario's regulatory regime are more similar to those of European than American countries. For instance, the AGCO has similar limits on the design of online casinos as those observed in the UK, emphasizing responsible gambling and protection. Other similarities are that there is no limit to the number of licenses and that there are similar advertising restrictions.

iGaming advertising in Ontario

The following advertising restrictions have been set by the regulators for any new sports betting and iGaming companies entering the Ontario market. ‎

• High-risk gamers, self-excluded people, and minors shouldn't be targeted.
• The iGO mark must be displayed on all operator websites, advertising platforms, and social media channels, and all advertising must include a message about responsible gaming.
• There are currently no regulations regulating the volume of sports betting advertising. Although this will probably be revised as the sector reaches maturity, broadcasters will ultimately decide how many gambling advertisements are broadcast.
• Players will need to provide their consent in order to receive deposits, sign-up requests, or information about bonus offers. Operators will not be permitted to market bonuses through open advertising or social media.
• A ban on algorithm-based advertising and targeted public advertising.

The Ontario market's advertising regulations resemble those of European markets more so than those of US markets. ‎

Popular sports in Ontario

Ice hockey is of course the national sport, but as the majority of Ontarians reside within 100 miles of the US border, they also closely follow American sports. As most Ontarians have cable access to American broadcast networks, and the province broadcasts all major American sporting events, including college football and basketball, sportsbooks often feature competitions from both nations.

Since the NFL has been shown on Canadian television for many years, most sports fans in Canada follow American clubs in addition to CFL ones. The Toronto Raptors are a fan favorite in NBA basketball, especially after the 2019 NBA Championship. ‎

Baseball, lacrosse, golf, boxing, and horse racing are other sports that will see a lot of action in Canadian sportsbooks. ‎35% of inhabitants of the province report placing bets at sports betting websites at least once each week, according to a poll by OntarioBets.com, a company that specializes in research and reviews of sportsbooks and online casinos. ‎

Popular casino games in Ontario

The conventional games seen in brick-and-mortar casinos are also the most well-liked at online casinos. Like many other nations, Canada is a leader in the popularity of slots, with table games like Blackjack and Roulette also enjoying significant popularity. Given that Ontarians have previously played online casino games with European iGaming providers, their preferences for video slots are comparable to those of European players. ‎

Looking ahead

In the international iGaming sector, Ontario is without a doubt one of the most exciting prospects. Operators will be put to the test as they strive to enter the newly regulated and fiercely competitive market as more and more operators seek to participate in the fray with such significant opportunity. We will be keeping a close eye on how other provinces may follow suit.
