Ontario, home to over 15 million people, has quickly grown into a major hub for online gaming since it opened to private operators in 2022. According to iGaming Ontario, the province pulled in more than CAD 2.4 billion in gross revenue last year, with over 1.2 million active player accounts and more than 40 licensed operators supporting that growth.

Beyond the initial launches, Gaming Corps is also working on new collaborations, targeting partnerships with local operators, including those linked to major sports brands.
