AGCO
Definition and role of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in Ontario internet gaming.
AGCO stands for the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. It is Ontario’s regulator for sectors including gaming and is responsible for registration and regulatory oversight in the province’s competitive iGaming market.
Why it matters
A private iGaming operator’s participation in Ontario begins with AGCO registration and compliance with the Registrar’s Standards.
Not the same as iGaming Ontario
AGCO is the regulator. iGaming Ontario conducts and manages the competitive iGaming market through agreements with private operators.
Player use
Players can use AGCO material to understand regulatory standards, while iGaming Ontario’s directory is the practical source for checking currently regulated gaming sites.
