B2B iGaming development studio RubyPlay has been given the green light to enter Ontario.

RubyPlay has been granted a license by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and can now offer its portfolio of games to licensed operators in Canada’s only regulated online gaming market.

“Our goal at RubyPlay is to bring our expansive portfolio of unique and innovative games to as many players as possible around the world,” said Chief Product Officer Dr. Eyal Loz. “We’re therefore thrilled to have obtained our Ontario license and build our reach in Canada.

“RubyPlay has an outstanding track record empowering our partner’s brands through our innovative and time relevant product offering. We believe that North America will be a strong growth engine for us, where building and maintaining a strong brand is key.”

RubyPlay only just entered U.S. market

Ontario entry is the latest step in RubyPlay’s North American expansion.

The Malta-based supplier launched in the U.S. last month with Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers and FanDuel in New Jersey, which it said would be “launchpad” for the company on this side of the Atlantic. BetRivers will also take the supplier’s content live in Pennsylvania and Delaware and RubyPlay is exploring opportunities in Michigan, West Virginia and beyond.

RubyPlay now gets to supply its games in Ontario’s multi-billion-dollar online casino market. iGaming Ontario’s (iGO) numbers for January 2025 show that there are at least 1.1 million active player accounts on regulated online gaming platforms in the province.

More than four-fifths (83%) of total online gaming handle and 70% of total gross gaming revenue in Ontario’s regulated market in January came from online casino. Since the market opened up to commercial operators in April 2022, that vertical has produced GGR of more than $4.5 billion.
