Ontario’s Growth in the Poker Sector
Despite being the smallest of Ontario’s three major iGaming segments—sports betting, casino games, and poker—Ontario online poker sites have seen a remarkable growth. The province is now home to five operators offering peer-to-peer poker, making it the largest ring-fenced online poker market by gaming revenue in North America.
Martha Otton, Executive Director at iGaming Ontario, sees this as a sign of the market’s success. “More players are engaging with poker each year. More operators are entering the market to meet demand,” Otton said.
The Future of Ontario’s Online Poker Market
Ontario’s poker market is expected to keep growing. Experts predict that as more players choose regulated platforms, demand for poker will rise. With more game offerings and technological advances, Ontario’s poker market will continue to appeal to players.
“We’re excited about the future of iGaming in Ontario,” said Heidi Reinhart, Chair of iGaming Ontario. “The collaboration among government, operators, and experts has created a world-class market for Ontarians.”
