AGCO says Hard Rock Digital has not applied for Ontario registration

Licences & markets

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario said Hard Rock Digital had not applied for registration, contradicting a media account that the company had sought an Ontario igaming licence. The account linked the reported application to a proposed sale of PointsBet Canada assets to Hard Rock, conditional on Betr acquiring PointsBet; Betr's 29 April release described the proposal as non-binding. Hard Rock Digital and PointsBet Canada had not commented.

The AGCO's statement leaves the reported Ontario application unconfirmed as the proposed asset sale remains conditional.
