Ontario auditor reports OLG has implemented 17 recommended actions
Ontario Auditor General Shelley Spence reported that OLG had fully implemented 17 recommendations, or 32%, as of 15 November 2024, with 20 more, or 38%, in progress. The recommendations followed an audit of OLG’s position after private operators entered Ontario’s regulated online gambling market in April 2022. OLG said close to 80% of the actions had been completed or were being implemented; six were no longer applicable and seven would not be implemented for stated reasons.
The progress report gives operators and policymakers a measure of OLG’s response to competition in Ontario’s regulated market.
