Wazdan Expands into North American Market with Ontario License

Wazdan is now officially operating in Ontario, Canada. The approval was granted by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in early May 2022. Now, Wazdan can supply regulated operators with licensed online casino games.

This big news marks the 20th regulated market for Wazdan. The iGaming content developer can now partner with all fully approved operators in the jurisdiction. The iGaming market in Ontario, Canada, officially opened its doors on April 4, 2022, and now boasts a slew of operators. The licensing and regulation process began in April 2019 and concluded three years later.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation held a virtual monopoly over all iGaming services until recently. Under the new rules, private operators can showcase their wares to players at regulated casinos in the province. For Wazdan, this is a big step forward. It follows hot on the heels of licensing and regulation in several US states, notably West Virginia, Michigan, and New Jersey.

Wazdan's products will be featured at the SBC Summit North America in July in the state of New Jersey. In addition, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Wazdan – Michal Imiolek, expressed his excitement about the latest regulatory approval in Ontario.

'We're hugely excited to be a part of this newly regulated iGaming market. Ontario promises to be one of the biggest markets in North America and this move adds massively to our growing foothold in the region. We're sure that operators throughout the province will benefit enormously from all we have to offer.'
