Ontario players spent CA$22.7 billion (£12.8 billion/€15.2 billion/US$12.8 billion) gambling online during Q3, the highest quarterly amount on record, while the Canadian province has switched to a new, monthly reporting schedule.
Previously, iGaming Ontario, which regulates online gambling in the province, published data on a quarterly basis. However, upon releasing figures for Q3, it confirmed results will now be available every month.
Data is now available for each month since Ontario launched legal online gambling in April of 2022.
Online casino spend reaches new high
Focusing first on Q3, total market spend was 32% higher than in the same quarter of 2023-24. It is also 22% ahead of Q2 of the current financial year. Ontario’s Q3 ran for the three months to 31 December 2024.
Online casino remains by far the main area of interest for players in the province. During Q3, some $18.9 billion was spent in this segment, up 38% on the previous year and another new record for Ontario.
