Thank you Doug Downey and all who are working to provide safer igaming options for Ontarians.
Two years ago, the igaming market was established in Ontario. The first 🇨🇦 province to do so. Today, we are realizing significant economic benefit and job growth. The future of this safe and responsible igaming market is promising.
