Ontario makes iGaming Ontario an independent agency under new act
Ontario made iGaming Ontario (iGO) an independent agency on 12 May 2025, ending its status as a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The iGaming Ontario Act placed the agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming; the government said the change strengthens its governance and accountability.
The change separates iGO’s agency status from the AGCO while setting its governance under a provincial ministry.
