Ontario’s online gambling legalization has driven C$11.6 billion in casino wagers, surpassing sports betting and boosting local businesses. With 900,000+ active accounts, the industry generates jobs and tax revenue, strengthening the economy. Legalization has moved players from offshore sites to a safer, regulated market, monitored by AGCO for fair play and responsible gambling. Operators must work with support groups and provide player protection tools, ensuring growth without harming consumers. Ontario’s iGaming success proves regulation enhances safety, boosts revenue, and creates economic opportunities while prioritizing consumer protection.

Other places gotta see the cash flow and jump on it. It's a win-win, right? Plus, the safety aspect is huge. No more sketchy offshore sites.
Yeah, but what about addiction? I mean, it’s great for the economy and all, but we can’t ignore the downsides. More access could lead to more problems, ya know?
True, but that’s where the support groups come into play. They’re supposed to help people who might struggle. Regulation can help mitigate those risks if done right.
