Hard Rock Bet Launches in Ontario

Hard Rock Bet launched sports betting and online casino gaming across Ontario on Wednesday.

Good to Know

• Ontario users can access Hard Rock Bet through Apple, Android and desktop.
• The launch came about two months after licence approval.
• Hard Rock Bet now operates in Ontario and 10 US states.

The platform entered a market with nearly 50 regulated operators and more than 80 sportsbook, casino and bingo sites. Ontario remains one of only two Canadian provinces with a competitive private operator model.

Hard Rock Bet launched sports betting and online casino gaming in Ontario, giving the brand its first market outside the United States.

Online casino access also gives Hard Rock Bet more room to grow. The brand can currently offer iCasino products in only New Jersey and Michigan among its US markets.

“Expanding into Ontario with Hard Rock Bet marks the first time we’ve brought our platform to an international audience,” said Marlon Goldstein, executive managing director and CEO of Hard Rock Digital. “We’re excited to introduce Ontario players to a premium entertainment experience that reflects the energy and service synonymous with the Hard Rock brand.”

Ontario players can download the app through Apple and Android devices or use the desktop website.

Hard Rock Bet already operates in 10 US states, including Florida, Illinois and Michigan. The Ontario debut arrived around two months after the platform secured its provincial iGaming licence.

The Canadian launch also came on the same day Hard Rock Bet became the official sportsbook partner of the Miami Marlins through the 2028 MLB season.
