Frequently Asked Questions
What is iGaming Ontario and how does it work?
iGaming Ontario (iGO) is a subsidiary of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) that acts as the operator of record for Ontario's regulated online gaming channel. All private-sector operators wishing to offer online casino or sports betting to Ontario residents must enter into an operating agreement with iGO. iGO collects a share of GGR and remits net revenue to the Province of Ontario after operating costs.
How many players are registered with iGaming Ontario?
As of March 2025, approximately 2.4 million unique player accounts were registered across all iGO-contracted operators. This represents about 18% of Ontario's adult population (19+). Active monthly players (those who placed at least one wager in a given month) averaged approximately 890,000 across FY2024-25.
How much money does iGaming Ontario generate for the province?
iGO remitted $132 million to the Province of Ontario in FY2024-25, up 53% from $86 million in FY2023-24. Over the first three fiscal years of operation (April 2022 – March 2025), cumulative provincial remittances totalled approximately $360 million. These funds flow to the Ontario government's general revenue account.
Is online casino bigger than sports betting in Ontario?
Yes, by a significant margin. Online casino products (slots, table games, live dealer) accounted for approximately 75% of total iGO GGR ($1.82 billion) in FY2024-25, compared to 25% ($618 million) for sports betting. However, sports betting handle grows faster, and the gap is narrowing as single-game betting and live wagering gain adoption.
Can I self-exclude from all Ontario operators at once?
Yes. Ontario operates a centralized self-exclusion system. When you self-exclude through one iGO-registered operator, that exclusion is shared across all contracted operators. You can also self-exclude directly via ConnexOntario (1-866-531-2600) or through the iGO self-exclusion portal. Self-exclusion periods range from 30 days to permanently.
