B2B supplier Fennica Gaming granted Ontario licence
Finnish Lottery subsidiary approved to supply to provincial operators
Finnish Lottery subsidiary Fennica Gaming has been granted a licence to supply its games portfolio to licensed operators in Ontario.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) approval means Fennica Gaming’s omnichannel game library, including its slate of eInstants and popular online casino games including Northern Jack, Wobblybobs and Chirp Amore, will be available to Ontario online and land-based casinos.
Fennica Games already offers its games in more than a dozen countries across three continents. It has existing partnerships with the likes of La Française des Jeux (FDJ), which is on its way out as the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG)’s sports betting supplier.
“We are thrilled to receive our B2B supplier licence in Ontario and to offer our advanced gaming solutions to operators in the region,” said Fennica Gaming Managing Director Timo Kiiskinen. “After a thorough application process, we can now proudly and prominently display our registration and achievement.
“We have followed the market in North America for a long time and Ontario is an excellent example of a market that is well organised. It represents an exciting market with immense potential, and we are committed to delivering secure, entertaining and trustworthy gaming experiences tailored to local preferences.”
Fennica’s parent company is Veikkaus Oy, the Finnish government-owned betting agency that holds a monopoly in the country.
The developer is the latest supplier to enter Ontario’s lucrative online casino market. Malta-based RubyPlay was licensed by the AGCO last week after entering the U.S. market in January.
iGaming Ontario’s (iGO) numbers for January 2025 showed 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 in April 2022, that vertical has produced more than $4.5 billion in GGR for operators.
