Poker saw the strongest growth, rising 36% month-over-month to $183 million, although it still holds a small share of the market.

In terms of revenue distribution, casino brought in $318.5 million, or 82% of the total. Sports betting generated $61.6 million, while poker contributed $6.9 million.

The Ontario market currently includes 45 licensed operators and 79 active gaming websites, with additional companies in the process of obtaining approval. Since the start of 2026, total wagers in the province have reached $27.8 billion.

Poker liquidity could expand in the future, as a court case related to shared player pools is currently being considered at the Supreme Court of Canada.
