Ontario becomes first in Canada to launch online sports gambling market

Single-game sports betting has been legal in Canada since last summer but the industry didn't fully open in Ontario until Monday.Now, people in Ontario can bet on casino games, sporting events and other gambling activities through online websites and smartphone apps from operators registered to run activities in the provincially regulated market.

“Just 50 seconds after 12:00am ET, PointsBet Canada became one of the first private sportsbooks to take a legal wager, and shortly after accepted a $500 two-leg parlay of UNC over Kansas and the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Tampa Bay Lightning.”In August 2021, the CFL announced a multi-year partnership with BetRegal that made it the league's official online sports gaming partner.

And on Thursday, The Masters will tee off in Augusta, Ga., not to mention both to the Leafs and Ottawa Senators being in action.

To bad they weren't prepared at all and nothing fucking works.... all the fordnation gov and iGamingOntario and the Ont_AGCO were worried about was rushing a product to consumers just to make more money for themselves. It's such a joke...

Aside from lining the pockets of what are mostly foreign corporations… what are the benefits or productive outputs from these OnlineGambling web sites? I see no benefits for Ontarians!… so it makes me very curious about what fordnation may stand to gain from them! onpoli

Most popular bet in Ontario so far: Leafs to win the Stanley Cup

Beer and gambling, Dougie priorities,,,,,Vote him out in June

Soooo many other things fordnation could have done for this province. 🤦‍♀️ On- line gambling was not high on the list of what your constituents need. Add this to the list of ridiculous priorities for ford to get votes.

You have nothing, but you will be happy

Lord have mercy on us 🙏🏻

This is suppose to be a good thing? Who is going to benefit from this?

More ways to gamble. Just what we need when the cost of everyday items has gone through the roof. Guess OLG wasn’t making enough money for them.

🤗 Let's do it and be Brock Faster as we don't have enough to spend on our last quarters...🙏

to help with the detriment of society.. which is already WELL underway over the past couple of years thanks to our Federal dictator and friends.. and their plan to bankrupt the people. TrudeauMustGo 💔😑🤑🤬

If the Gov't would just get out of the way and allow the private sector to provide services to the people of our Province. Time for the Provincial Conservative's to lessen the size of our government, return to common sense economics. Regulate NEVER Operate!

Proline is decent, now that they allow single game betting, although the odds they give are really low.

Another tax on the downtrodden.

Now, people in Ontario can bet on casino games, sporting events and other gambling activities through online websites and smartphone apps from operators registered to run activities in the provincially regulated market
