AGCO sets two-stage approval process for new Ontario racetracks

Licences & markets

Source: AGCO (Ontario)

Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) says applicants for a new racetrack must obtain preliminary and final approval from the Registrar. Preliminary approval follows a due diligence review and sets conditions; it does not guarantee final approval, which depends on those conditions being met.

Prospective racetrack applicants must satisfy separate preliminary and final licensing stages before operating in Ontario.
