Betinia has launched its online casino and sportsbook in Ontario, where players can access the services through app stores. The brand is operated by Canadix Limited and must meet the province’s registration and operating-agreement requirements; the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario said other approved brands still need agreements with iGaming Ontario before launch.
Betinia has reportedly launched an online casino and sportsbook in Ontario, with players able to access them through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Canadix Limited, registered in Malta, operates Betinia as well as ToonieBet and Swiper in Ontario.
Canadix said Betinia offers more than 5,000 casino games and a sportsbook covering the NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL, as well as international markets. Its offering includes MEGA11 and a localised Soccer Manager fantasy sports game in which players manage a team and build a squad.
Before launching in Ontario, online gaming operators must register with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and secure an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. Betsafe, Betmaster and Loonie Casino have received regulatory approval and will enter the market once they secure operating agreements, the commission confirmed. Betsson Group owns Betsafe, while Sunflower Gaming Ltd. operates Loonie Casino; Betmaster is a European-based operator.
Stake's application is still being reviewed, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario confirmed. Stake Canada general manager Kris Abbott said the company anticipated a response from the regulator soon. In Alberta, Stake has regulatory clearance to enter the regulated online gaming market.
