Playnetic has received approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to operate as a registered supplier in the province, marking the company’s first entry into the Canadian igaming market.
The certification allows Playnetic to distribute its portfolio of igaming content to licensed operators in Ontario. The approval follows a thorough regulatory review process, with AGCO’s licensing framework widely regarded as one of the more robust in North America. Meeting these standards supports Playnetic’s broader strategy of targeting regulated jurisdictions with a focus on compliance and integrity.
With the Ontario market now open to its suite of games, Playnetic is positioning itself for long-term growth in Canada. The company is also closely monitoring developments in other provinces, such as Alberta, which is progressing toward a regulated online gambling model that may follow Ontario’s example.
Playnetic has already begun engaging with operators in Ontario and expects to announce its first go-lives in the coming months. The company also confirmed its attendance at the Canadian Gaming Summit, taking place in Toronto from June 17–19, where it will connect with existing partners and prospective clients as it continues to build momentum in the region.
Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”
Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
