European online game developer Evoplay is now a licensed iGaming supplier in Ontario.

The award-winning studio has been authorized by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to begin supplying content and services to approved online casino operators in the province.

Evoplay’s two-year license is effective March 12 and runs until March 11, 2027.

It is the company’s first entry into online gaming in North America. Entering one of the continent’s most lucrative online gaming markets offers a significant opportunity for Evoplay to further strengthen its international reach and expand its user base.

“Securing our Ontario license is a landmark achievement for Evoplay and our first step of entry into the dynamic North American market as a whole,” said Ihor Zarechnyi, chief commercial officer at Evoplay.

“With a strong commitment to compliance, innovation, and delivering immersive gaming experiences, we look forward to partnering with local operators and contributing to the market’s continued success.”

Zarechnyi was promoted to CCO in February and leads the company’s commercial operations, including spearheading efforts to expand into new markets and well as forging new commercial partnerships.

In Evoplay’s year-end results for 2024, the company said it launched 32 new titles spanning slots, instant play, crash games and new tap and skill-based genres. It vaunted a 42% increase in the number of users across its content portfolio. Evoplay’s gaming partners include Light & Wonder.

Evoplay is one of a number of suppliers to step into Ontario’s regulated market in recent weeks.

Last week, Finnish Lottery subsidiary Fennica Gaming received its AGCO license and Malta-based RubyPlay got the green light last month.

The suppliers enter a market that has more than 1.1 million active player accounts across all commercial regulated online casinos. Since the market opened in April 2022, the online casino vertical has produced more than $4.5 billion in GGR for operators conducted and managed by iGaming Ontario (iGO).
