Ontario passes law to make iGaming Ontario independent from AGCO
Ontario passed Bill 216 on 6 November, including provisions to separate iGaming Ontario from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, according to the article. The law is expected to be proclaimed in early 2025, when iGaming Ontario would become an independent, board-governed agency; a ministry spokesperson said the change addresses a conflict-of-interest concern raised by the Auditor General.
Operators and regulators should prepare for iGaming Ontario’s independent, board-governed structure to address the conflict-of-interest concern.
