Canadian analysis examines fantasy sports, social casinos and prediction markets
An analysis of Canada's digital gambling market examined the different legal treatment of paid fantasy sports, social casinos and prediction markets. It estimated that more than two million people participate in fantasy sports in Ontario, where operators must register with AGCO and operate through iGaming Ontario. The analysis cited a global social-casino market estimate of US$10.080 billion for 2026, rising to US$14.420 billion in 2030.
Operators face different provincial requirements depending on product mechanics, prizes and payment structures.
