Ontario Sports Betting Revenue Rises 27% Month-Over-Month in September

Ontario's regulated iGaming market reported a 27% month-over-month increase in sports betting revenue for September, according to data from iGaming Ontario (iGO). The province's total cash wagers reached CA$9.71 billion ($6.94 billion), flat compared to August, while non-adjusted gross gaming revenue (NAGGR) totaled $416.3 million ($297.7 million), a 5% rise from the previous month.

The surge in sports betting revenue coincided with the start of the National Football League (NFL) season, a major driver of betting activity in the region. The data highlights the impact of marquee sporting events on Ontario's regulated market, which has grown steadily since its launch in April 2022.

September's figures reflect a broader trend of increasing engagement in Ontario's legal gambling sector, which includes sportsbooks, casinos, and poker platforms. The province's market performance continues to be closely monitored by industry stakeholders as it matures.

iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, oversees the province's regulated iGaming market. The agency regularly publishes monthly performance data to track the sector's growth and compliance with regulatory standards.
