It’s been over two months since Ontario’s online gaming market opened up to the competition. The iGaming industry was officially launched on April 4, 2022, when 17 sites went live. For the first time, it is legal for businesses in Ontario to offer online sports betting, online casinos, and online poker rooms to people who live in the province. The first group of licensees quickly grew to 24. Since then, that number has stayed the same.
With the purchase of these four domain names, we are happy to say that our competitiveness has grown even more. They are run by experienced people at some well-known iGaming production companies.
4 New ON RNG and Live Casino Sites
This week, four new online casinos got permission to join Canada’s huge online gaming industry. These are the things:
- ComeOn Casino
- Play OJO
- Slots Magic
- Spin Genie
As Skill On Net Plunges Into Ontario
Skill On Net has been making movies for a long time and has three more domains just now hitting the market. Since 2005, this iGaming studio has been online and has more than 3,000 different casino games, such as slots, table games, instant wins, specialty games, and more. It has a wide range of games because it makes some on its own and works with big and small game companies. Because of these partnerships, Skill On Net is used by many casinos.
Skill On Net is different from many of its competitors, especially in the Canadian market, in that it does not run any other types of gaming businesses. It focuses only on classic games with a random number generator (RNG) and lives dealer games. It also gives its partners a full range of back-end services, such as cutting-edge support, payment solutions, casino management tools, coverage for licenses, and compliance with rules and regulations.
SkillOnNet’s Ontario Brands
In 2014, Bear Group Ltd. brought SpinGenie Casino to the UK. In 2020, Skill On Net bought the business. Members can play more than 1,500 games. Microgaming, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, and Big Time Gaming, among others, made these games.
In 2016, Skill On Net welcomed PlayOJO Casino into its family. It won several awards in its first year, making it one of the most successful iGaming sites (EGR Awards Rising Star, MiGA Casino Operator of the Year 2017). PlayOJO continued to do well, thanks to how quickly it became famous when it first came out.
Since it opened in 1996, Slots Magic has been the oldest casino in Ontario. In 2014, this Skill On Net brand was brought back from an even older brand called Jackpot Party. In 2010, gamers started going to that old domain name right away. Most people who started the group were unhappy about the change. But the people at Skill On Net listened to us and got to work immediately. After several changes to the original idea, the community was excited about its return. It has grown into a significant subsidiary and is now one of the many gaming websites owned by the parent company.
How did Skill On Net take so long to launch?
If you follow the news, you may remember that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), the province’s leading licensing agency, gave Skill On Net an operator’s license at the beginning of May. With this go-ahead, not one, not two, but three online gambling sites may now open for business in the Canadian province of Ontario.
Two of the sites that were chosen were SpinGenie Ontario and SlotsMagic. Since Skill On Net got the third license directly, it was allowed to choose the third business however it wanted. Since then, no one from the iGaming company has talked to us until last week.
Before bringing its new live casino and RNG gaming services to Ontario, Skill On Net had a long list of things to do. First, they had to narrow down a list of possible third domains to one that would be popular with Canadians and Europeans. Second, and most importantly, all three places were put through many tests to ensure they were good enough.
The AGCO and its regulatory monitoring agency, iGaming Ontario, have strict rules that they follow (iGO). To do business in the province, you must follow the rules. The AGCO’s Enforcement Bureau fined two operators only a few weeks after the market opened for not meeting the AGCO’s strict requirements. PointsBet paid $30,000 and BetMGM paid $48,000. Both fines were for marketing betting promotions in a way that was against the law.
