Ontario Court of Appeal backs cross-border peer-to-peer iGaming model
The Ontario Court of Appeal said a model allowing Ontario players to compete in peer-to-peer games against players abroad would be lawful under the Criminal Code, according to its 12 November decision. Four of five judges supported that view; Ontario’s current rules require paid poker and daily fantasy sports players to be within the province.
The opinion could permit Ontario to consider cross-border liquidity for online poker and paid daily fantasy sports.
