How Ontario iGaming Revenue Breaks Down

Across all 47 months of iGO data, casino and slots account for 74.9% of total GGR. Sports betting generates 22.9%. Poker accounts for the remaining 2.2%. This distribution has been structurally stable since 2023 and explains why the largest operators invest disproportionately in casino product depth.

Why Ontario Has the Most Transparent Gambling Market in North America

When iGaming Ontario launched in April 2022, it required all licensed operators to report performance data monthly through a standardised framework. iGO aggregates and publishes these reports publicly, covering GGR, wager volume, active player counts, and vertical breakdowns for every reporting period. No US state publishes equivalent data. No other Canadian province has a comparable framework. Ontario is the only jurisdiction on the continent where a researcher can access the complete monthly performance history of an entire regulated market from day one.

Every data point on this page derives from official regulatory sources rather than operator self-reporting or third-party estimates. When we report $10.95B in cumulative GGR, that figure comes directly from iGO publications. That provenance matters for operators making licensing decisions, journalists writing market analyses, and regulators benchmarking Ontario against other jurisdictions.

Ontario vs the Rest of North America: Scale and Context

Ontario now generates over $4.8B in annualised GGR, making it larger than any single US state's online gambling market. New Jersey, which launched regulated online gambling in 2013 and had a decade head start, generates roughly $2.5B annually. Pennsylvania runs at approximately $2.2B. Michigan at $1.8B. Ontario surpassed New Jersey's annual run-rate within three years of launching, despite having a smaller adult population.

The structural reason is product scope. Ontario licenses sports betting, online casino, and poker under a single framework. Several major US states permit sports betting but not online casino. When casino is included, revenue per active player increases significantly because of session frequency and product depth advantages. Ontario's 74.9% casino share explains why GGR per capita here exceeds comparable sports-betting-only jurisdictions. See the casino vs sports betting analysis for the full breakdown.

All data on this page derives from iGaming Ontario's official quarterly market performance reports, available publicly at igamingontario.ca. iGO publishes monthly Excel files approximately six weeks after each reporting period closes. We ingest these files through an automated RPM data pipeline, validate the figures, and store them in a structured database that powers all charts and metrics across this hub and every linked report page.

FAQ

Ontario iGaming Market Data: Common Questions

What is the total GGR of the Ontario iGaming market?

As of January 2026, Ontario's regulated iGaming market has generated $10.95 billion in cumulative gross gaming revenue since its April 2022 launch. The most recent monthly figure is $342.4M. The all-time peak was $425.4M in 2025-12.

How does Ontario iGaming compare to US states?

Ontario now generates over $4.8B in annualised GGR, making it larger than any single US state's online gambling market. New Jersey, with a decade head start, generates roughly $2.5B annually. Pennsylvania is at $2.2B. Ontario surpassed New Jersey's annual run-rate within three years of launching despite having a smaller adult population.

Where does iGaming Ontario data come from?

iGaming Ontario publishes official monthly market performance reports covering all licensed operators in aggregate. These are publicly available at igamingontario.ca. iGO does not publish individual operator revenue figures. All metrics on this page are derived directly from those official publications.

How often is this data updated?

iGO publishes monthly reports approximately six weeks after each month ends. When a new report is released, we upload it to our data pipeline, which automatically updates all charts and metrics across this hub and every linked report page. No manual editing is required between updates.

What is ARPPA and why does it matter?

ARPPA is Average Revenue Per Active Account: GGR divided by unique active accounts in a period. It measures player engagement depth rather than just headcount growth. Ontario's ARPPA has risen from $158 at launch to a peak of $333, indicating that existing players are engaging more deeply over time, not just that more players are joining.

Is Ontario the largest regulated gambling market in Canada?

Yes. Ontario is the only province with a private operator iGaming framework. Other provinces use Crown corporation lottery systems which operate outside the iGO reporting framework. Alberta is developing a similar private operator framework but has not yet launched as of early 2026.
