(AsiaGameHub) – The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued a CA$40,000 fine to both Relax Gaming and Arrise Solutions for permitting their games to be available on unregulated gambling sites within the province.
The AGCO noted that the presence of these games on unauthorized platforms supported illegal gambling operations.
Both companies cooperated fully with the AGCO’s investigation and have taken swift action to ensure their games are no longer accessible through unlicensed websites in Ontario.
The AGCO emphasized that the regulated iGaming market in Ontario operates under strict standards designed to protect consumers, including programs for responsible gambling and maintaining game integrity. In contrast, unregulated gambling sites increase risks related to player safety, fraud, money laundering, and match-fixing.
In a separate matter, PointsBet Canada is awaiting the decision on its appeal regarding a five-day suspension proposed by the AGCO for failing to properly report suspicious betting activities linked to former NBA player Jontay Porter.
