Ontario appeal court permits cross-border online gaming pools subject to safeguards
The Court of Appeal for Ontario ruled that provincially regulated gaming and sports-betting sites may offer peer-to-peer wagering between Ontario players and people outside Canada, provided regulatory safeguards are in place. The court said players from other Canadian provinces and territories cannot join those pools without interprovincial agreements; implementation details remain for regulators to resolve.
Operators may be able to offer larger poker and daily fantasy sports pools, subject to regulatory safeguards.
