Analysis of the Ontario casino market: operators, figures and key products

Ontario opened its competitive online gambling market in 2022 and has since attracted licensed international operators. The province hosts 84 gaming sites operated by 49 operators, and the regulatory framework is managed by iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Elsa Fiott, a researcher for Casino.org, authored the analysis that reviews three online casinos active in Ontario and provides practical guidance for players.

How the casino market in Ontario works

Ontario opted in 2022 for an open market model with private licences rather than exclusive government-run platforms used in other provinces. iGaming Ontario administers commercial market access and the AGCO supervises compliance and issues licences. Alberta later adopted a similar model.

The regulatory design allows international operators to obtain licences to offer their products and platforms to local players. The current result is a broad supply of licensed casinos, regulatory oversight and compliance requirements intended to ensure products are safe, fair and lawful.

What Casino Days, Betinia and Tooniebet offer in the Ontario casino market

The Casino.org piece reviewed by Elsa Fiott examines in detail three platforms present in Ontario: Casino Days, Betinia and Tooniebet. Each shows a distinct set of strengths in game catalogue, payments and user experience.

Casino Days: game selection and fast payments

Casino Days leads the sample on several key criteria. The platform stands out for a wide catalogue with titles from recognised studios; the review cites developers such as Hacksaw Gaming and All41 Studios. The site offers a mobile version and downloadable apps, and navigation plus deposit and withdrawal processes are straightforward.

Casino Days imposes no minimum withdrawal limits and payments are typically credited to the player’s account within 24 hours. It accepts a broad range of reliable payment methods. The review particularly values the games offering and the live casino section, while noting a personal preference for more progressive jackpots.

Betinia: massive catalogue but no eCOGRA/iTech Labs testing

Betinia launched in early 2026 and, according to Casino.org, its lobby offers more than 5,500 games from over 80 studios. The platform lists more than 230 jackpots and releases from studios such as Nolimit City and Megaways titles from Pragmatic Play.

On payment experience, Betinia enables deposits via PayPal and Skrill 1-Tap, and charges no fees on deposits or withdrawals. However, it lacks bank transfer options and withdrawals by Mastercard, services that most Ontario casinos provide. Casino.org highlights that Betinia’s games are not submitted to eCOGRA or iTech Labs testing; the platform is licenced in Ontario and audited by the regulator, but the absence of third-party certification is a factor for players who value external audits.

Tooniebet: Canada-focused platform launched in 2024

Tooniebet entered the market in 2024 with a focus on Canadian audiences. Its library exceeds 3,600 games and the live casino offering is around 175 live games, figures that position it as a solid destination for live-game fans.

The site facilitates deposits and withdrawals and accepts popular methods like Visa, Mastercard and Skrill. Tooniebet publishes transaction fees and limits transparently. The review notes that some withdrawals can take up to five days, a timeframe that may be decisive for certain users.

Regulation and security: who supervises and what to look for

iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) share responsibility for the ecosystem. iGaming Ontario coordinates the market and commercial relations with operators; the AGCO manages licence issuance and regulatory compliance oversight.

Casino.org, through Elsa Fiott, recommends checking an operator’s licence and regulatory status on the iGaming Ontario register, and reviewing independent audit tests when available. [iGaming Ontario](/regulation) maintains a public list of authorised operators.

Practical advice for players and Casino.org’s editorial value

The review stresses that players in Ontario have a wide and secure supply, but quality varies between platforms. Casino.org acts as a guide and impartial reviewer. Practical recommendations in the analysis include:

• Confirm the casino is licensed in Ontario and audited by the AGCO.

• Review wagering requirements, deposit limits and withdrawal times before registering.

• Prefer casinos that publish third‑party audits (eCOGRA or iTech Labs) if independent verification is a priority.

Casino.org also reminds players not to be seduced solely by flashy bonuses and to examine details that affect experience, such as wagering terms and payment options.

"Ontario created an open market in 2022 that has allowed international operators to offer products regulated locally," writes Elsa Fiott in Casino.org.

The practical conclusion for operators, suppliers and players is clear: Ontario’s market is broad and competitive, with diverse offerings and clear supervisory rules, but operator quality and transparency on audits and payment times remain decisive criteria.
