Rivalry Corp., an internationally-regulated sports betting and media company, today expressed support for the iGaming Ontario announcement of an April 4th, 2022 launch date for internet gaming in the Province of Ontario.
“We are very excited to learn that Ontario residents will have access to safe, regulated internet gaming on April 4th of this year,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivalry. “We support this decision and believe it is the best way forward for the province. Rivalry has been involved in the Ontario licensing process since it was first announced, and we look forward to launching services in our home market.”
As previously announced, Rivalry has submitted an application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (the “AGCO”) to become a fully registered operator of internet gaming and sports betting in Ontario. The Company continues to work through the application process.
iGaming Ontario was established by the Province of Ontario in 2021 to conduct and manage internet gaming in the province when provided through private gaming operators. The Ontario government’s stated objectives include creating a safe, regulated, and competitive online gaming market to help protect consumers and provide more choice while ensuring a level playing field for new businesses.
