Ontario jurisdiction

Ontario has created a structured regulatory framework for online gambling, making it the first Canadian province to launch a private market for iGaming. Overseen by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario (iGO), the licensing process is comprehensive and ensures that operators meet stringent standards for responsible gaming, fairness, and player protection. Operators looking to enter Ontario’s growing market must comply with local regulations and anti-money laundering laws, making it a highly competitive and regulated environment for iGaming businesses.

Incorporating a company in Ontario offers a range of advantages for iGaming and other businesses. While obtaining an iGaming licence in Ontario requires a legal entity registered and authorized to operate under the province’s regulatory framework, setting up a corporation locally can streamline operations, ensure compliance with regulatory obligations, and build credibility with authorities. Incorporation provides limited liability protection, access to capital, and eligibility for lower corporate tax rates through small business deductions. As a distinct legal entity, your corporation can own property, enter contracts, sue or be sued, and continue operating regardless of changes in ownership. Ontario’s transparent, business-friendly environment makes it easier to attract investment and operate confidently within the North American market. Ready to incorporate in Ontario?
