Ontario, which legalized private online gambling operators in 2022, has quickly established itself as a major force in the iGaming sector. The province’s population of over 15 million residents, combined with its rigorous regulatory structure, has made it an attractive destination for international gaming companies. In 2023 alone, iGaming Ontario reported CAD 2.4 billion in gross gaming revenue, with more than 1.2 million active s and over 40 authorized operators contributing to the sector’s success.
Now licensed to supply its gaming portfolio in Ontario, Gaming Corps has wasted no time in initiating key partnerships. The company has already secured deals with several approved local operators, laying the foundation for a gradual introduction of its titles in the region.
At the outset, Gaming Corps plans to release some of its most popular sports-oriented titles, such as Hoop Champion and Shootout Champion, both of which have been optimized for player preferences in the province. The launch strategy reflects a calculated approach aimed at resonating with local audiences while complying with strict regulatory standards.
Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, emphasized the significance of this development. “Being approved for a license in Ontario is a major achievement and a clear validation of the quality, integrity, and compliance standards we uphold. Ontario is not only one of the most regulated iGaming markets in the world, but also a gateway into the wider North American region,” he stated.
“This license opens up significant opportunities for Gaming Corps and reinforces our commitment to working only within licensed and regulated jurisdictions. With a growing appetite for original content, we’re excited about the potential Ontario holds – both in of player engagement and long-term growth,” Kauppinen added.
Known for its proprietary game mechanics and focus on non-traditional formats, Gaming Corps offers a catalogue that stands out in a market increasingly hungry for unique content. The Ontario license not only grants the developer access to distribute these games but also enables them to pursue deeper partnerships with brands already embedded in the sports entertainment landscape.
In addition to launching with current partners, the developer is actively exploring new collaborations, including those involving operators aligned with recognizable sports franchises. This aligns with Gaming Corps’ broader ambition to grow its footprint across North America through content that blends innovation with commercial appeal.
As the company prepares for a staged rollout in Ontario, its entry into the market may represent a strategic springboard into further North American jurisdictions in the near future.
