Casumo, a well-known online casino and sports betting operator based in Malta, has successfully launched its captivating themed slots and live casino games in the province of Ontario, Canada. With its parent company Pret Play securing the necessary license, Casumo is now all set to mesmerize players with an array of exciting gaming experiences until June 2023. This move comes hot on the heels of Pinnacle Sports’ recent foray into Ontario’s regulated market with sports and esports betting, and plans to introduce online casino games in the near future. Furthermore, Great Canadian Entertainment has teamed up with SuzoHapp to introduce state-of-the-art sports betting terminals at 10 prime locations across Ontario, making it an exhilarating time for gaming enthusiasts in the province.
Casumo’s Ontario Expansion:
The agile and tech-savvy team at Casumo is thrilled to be at the forefront of licensed operators in Ontario. The Vice President of Commercial, Garry McGibbon, expresses his excitement about bringing the magic of Casumo to players’ fingertips across the province. The diverse range of themed slots and live casino games, including popular classics like blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, is sure to captivate players seeking thrilling gaming experiences.
Pinnacle Sports Enters Ontario’s Market:
Following approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), Pinnacle Sports has successfully launched sports and esports betting in the regulated Ontario market. The platform now caters to consumers looking to wager on major North American sports events, such as the National Football League (NFL) and the Canadian Football League. With plans to incorporate online casino games in the future, Pinnacle Sports aims to cater to a wider audience of gaming enthusiasts in the province.
Casumo’s Danish Gambling Authority Reprimand:
In July, Casumo faced a reprimand from the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA) due to violations of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act. The regulator discovered shortcomings in Casumo’s risk assessments and customer identification process until March 11. While this incident has not deterred Casumo from expanding its operations into Ontario, it underscores the importance of robust compliance measures to maintain the integrity of the gaming industry.
SuzoHapp and Great Canadian Entertainment’s Joint Venture:
SuzoHapp, a prominent gaming technology provider, has joined forces with Great Canadian Entertainment to introduce cutting-edge sports betting terminals in Ontario. Players can now indulge in in-person sports betting at 10 prominent locations, including Casino Woodbine, Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel, Elements Casino Brantford, Pickering Casino Resort, and others. This innovative partnership seeks to enhance the gaming experience for enthusiasts in the province and pave the way for an exciting future in the gaming industry.
Ontario’s gaming landscape is witnessing a flurry of activity as top-notch operators like Casumo and Pinnacle Sports venture into the regulated market. With a diverse range of themed slots, live casino games, and sports betting options, players in the province are spoilt for choice. However, operators must maintain a strong focus on compliance and risk management to uphold the industry’s reputation and ensure a safe and enjoyable gaming environment. As the gaming industry continues to evolve in Ontario, partnerships like SuzoHapp and Great Canadian Entertainment’s collaboration pave the way for new and immersive gaming experiences, making the province an exciting destination for gaming enthusiasts.
