Quick answer

iGaming Ontario is the provincial entity that conducts and manages Ontario’s competitive iGaming market through operating agreements with private operators acting within the provincial framework.

Core role

iGO enters operating agreements with eligible operators and maintains player-facing information including its directory of regulated gaming sites and dispute-support process.

Not the regulator

AGCO provides regulatory registration and oversight; iGO performs the conduct-and-manage/commercial market role.

Player relevance

iGO is the key current source for verifying regulated operator sites and for escalating eligible disputes after the operator’s formal complaint process.
