Ontario’s iGaming Growth Stalls Amid Summer Slowdown

The iGaming market in Ontario has hit a bit of a slow spell, occasioned not by the withdrawal of foreign tourists or gamblers, but rather the summer lull that traditionally sets in around June.

The total wagers placed were 10% down month after month to CAD 7.26 billion during the month, and revenue hit CAD $307 million, marking a 9% decrease from the month before, in May.

Interestingly, the June metric of total wagers placed was still much higher than the results of June 2024 but fell short of the CAD 8.07 billion wagered in May 2025. The results come at a time when the market is preparing to undergo a thorough review.

The downward trend was across the board as holidaymakers drove down active player accounts to 1.013 million, or a 5% drop in comparative monthly terms. The average amount spent also declined to 4% to $303 per player as per the latest report by the provincial regulator.

Sports Betting Experiences the Biggest Slump in Overall Results

In the meantime, the casino remains the dominant vertical, accounting for CAD 6.4 billion in wagers placed, or 88% market share. However, this was already a 25.2% increase from May, still indicating that Ontario’s results are heading up.

The decline in sports betting has been the most prominent, with a 21% drop in June from May, which is natural as there are fewer professional sports competitions, including college-level sports, to bet on.

Presently, Ontario is running a saturated market of 50 licensed operators and 86 live websites. Titanplay, one of the local brands, recently relaunched, confident that it can deliver on stronger results.
