LAS VEGAS, January 17, 2023 — Game Theory Optimal today launches Canada Gaming Review, the first site in its Gaming Review network outside the United States, covering the regulated online casino, sports betting and poker markets in Ontario and across Canada.

Canada Gaming Review covers the fastest-changing regulated market in North America. Ontario opened its regulated online gambling market in April 2022, the first Canadian province to license private operators, and single-event sports betting has been legal across Canada since August 2021. The site follows both, together with the provincial lottery-run platforms that serve the rest of the country.

The site publishes daily news on the Canadian market, from iGaming Ontario’s quarterly results and Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario rulings to operator launches, product changes and promotions. Reviews cover every online casino, sportsbook and poker room licensed in Ontario, written by people who open an account, deposit, play and withdraw, and report what happened. Player guides explain what is legal in each province, how to tell a licensed site from an offshore one, and where to find help.

“Ontario built the most open regulated market anywhere in North America, and it did it in a matter of months,” said Michael Gentile, co-founder of Game Theory Optimal. “Canadians now have dozens of licensed options and very little independent information to choose between them. Canada Gaming Review is our answer to that.”

As with every Game Theory Optimal site, Canada Gaming Review works only with licensed, regulated operators. Offshore sites are not reviewed, listed or linked.

Canada Gaming Review joins US Gaming Review, NJ Gaming Review, PA Gaming Review and MI Gaming Review in the Gaming Review network, alongside the Gambling Shield responsible gambling sites.
