Ontario operators? (Licensed)

[MaltesePlayer]

If they offer BTG and Net Ent, then just take my money please! lol

Not sure on BTG but netent is incoming ? I haven’t seen their audited game certificates yet.

WHOA, Nelly! I think I am falling in love with MaltesePlayer.

I can do my DOA stream with @Kroffe and I know @Jono777 is missing some DOA and netent action.

well, unless the casinos decide the game is too high risk, or....shudder....gimps the game badly; after all, ON can allow slots to go as low as 85%

True, good point. Like Rama, they removed a lot of machines that could pay.

Thank you @MaltesePlayer. Received emails from Coolbet and Jonny Casino today basically saying their site will stop operating as they will be joining the igaming ontario license. Jonny Casino isn't accredited yet but they are expecting to become.

 

[casguy2016]

Some news from today:

Those set to expand into the region on April 4 are Annexio (LottoGo.com),

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

BetMGM, Coolbet, FanDuel, Fitzdares, bet365, LeoVegas, WSOP.com, Ontario Lottery and Gaming, PointsBet, Rivalry, Royal Panda, Rush Street Interactive (BetRivers Ontario), theScore, Unibet and 888.

Furthermore, the AGCO, which asserts that “Ontario has a serious chance to become a major igaming location,” has also stated that 41 suppliers have also been registered which means that over 700 games have been certified for use thus far.

Some are more ready than others. This means Ontario’s new igaming market will steadily expand in the weeks and months following April 4.

 

[casguy2016]

@MaltesePlayer not sure if your allowed to tell us but do you know if BTG will be some of the available games?

 

[helafast]

@casguy2016 He replied earlier. BTG doesn't appear to have license yet. Since NetEnt and BTG are owned by the same company, I assume that they will be - if they aren't it will be ridiculous after what BTG has gone through blocking the games on us for a chance to enter the Ontario regulated market. They just blocked the games 2 years early by accident lol

Pre-registered for betrivers and looking at their free casino for Canada, not very good unless you like Konami Live casino titles. Providers showing:
Pragmatic Play
Greentube
Alchemybet
Konami
Evolution Live Casino
Booongo
Pariplay
Habanero
AGS Interactive
Everi.

That's all I am seeing, could be different once they go live of course.

Thanks not sure how i missed that. really dissapointed if BTG doesn't come on board. Also would really like to see Aristocrat

 

[slotmaster]

One thing, this is going to be painful to sign up to some of these sites as the sign-up process usually is stressful and painful,lol. I better get the utility bill and copy of the license set up now so am ready, but who knows how many days it will take for all that to go through. I am dreading that part but otherwise excited to see what all comes for us.

Wonder if @L&L-Jan casinos thinking of getting an Ontario license? As it would be even better to play at a site that has a rep for any issues.

 

[dionysus]

I'm glad this thread is getting a lot of attention.
Some major changes coming our way, and while, sorry to say, going to be a fair few guinea pigs, it's good to see what will be what

 

[slotmaster]

I am going to try and take April 4th off, I know not everyone or maybe anyone will be live on the first day but it is Wrestlemania weekend April 2nd and 3rd so will be up late on Sunday night anyway, haha. So big few days or week that week.

If I remember my extremely long list of requirements that we had to put in. There will be at a couple of ways to be verified -

1) Document Verification
2) Credit File Check
3) I can’t remember the last one.

But it should be seamless across the board for all operators. There will be AML checks but I’m not 100% sure on when they’re meant to occur so I won’t muddy the waters

I think they just ran out of time in certifying them in time for launch. That is for BTG at least.

I haven’t dealt with aristocrat so I’ve got no info there sorry.

Curious, What casino do you work for?

 

[MaltesePlayer]

Since I’m not an official representative and we’re not on this forum officially, I’d rather hide behind my username ?

No worries.
I'm sure youve seen Trance and Halvor
We're just happy to understand the legislation and mechanics on an un-official stance

 

[dionysus]

But...if you haven't, maybe, reach out to Bryan - @Casinomeister - and that's all good and well, between you and him, and gives you legitimacy

 

[helafast]

I read on the Coolbet transition form that we are NOT going to have autoplay and there will be 2.5 seconds between spins

ARGH

Bryan, if you need any of my credentials to be presented. Please let me know. As I’ve said before, I’m not looking to “officially represent” any casino, but I can share my insight where I can without jeopardizing anyone.

Obviously our government doesn't seem to care if we all get carpul tunnel syndrome

ya lets hope @L&L-Jan join for sure. Even tho their verification is a nightmare they are still a good company and would be even better with more provider options. Not sure how they do with Ontario with only few providers but with more of a library available I know lots of people who would play there more often

Same, 2.5 seconds sounds bad. Will see. Also, I already have an account with betsafe so if they are one of the ones I might be good to go there, just wish you can get set up/registered beforehand on some of the others.

 

[casguy2016]

This one is kind of a joke beause what would stop someone from playing on 2 different casinos at the same time?

"The gaming system must not offer functionality which facilitates playing multiple slots games at the same time. This includes, but is not limited to, split screen or multi-screen functionality"

Even if the game supplier was to stop this using data sent by the operator you could still play from 2 different game suppliers with 2 different casinos anyways. It's also a joke because i've been to OLG's land based casinos and they never attempted to stop anyone from playing multiple slots that are side by side at the same time.

Honestly i have no interest in doing this but there are ways around if you really want to.

oh ffs! That's why split-screen multi-screen would not work at betsafe. So many games want to play especially if we get netent back so that would be helpful, but guess deposit may last longer but will have to come up and try to think of a plan on how to play,lol.

The Germans have it worse at 5 seconds if it helps ?

 

[dionysus]

I couldnt even bloody imagine

 

[BillyGoldblum]

The Germans have it worse at 5 seconds if it helps ?

5 seconds between spins? WTF for? I can undertand maybe not having quickspin I suppose but making the spins even slower? So instead of losing you money in 20 minutes now you can make it last 1 hour? And be bored out your brain to get 50 spins on a slot? Seems pretty low iq programming

That's the whole point. slow down the process to the point where you don't want to play

I think we will pull fully from Canada. Now with Ontario being regulated we can offer basically no games, unless we get the license.

Awwww . I can be a Canadian employee.

 

[BrianGhattas]

I’d rather play at my locals than put my money into online casinos. All these new options coming next week are great but my luck on them remains poor. Hopefully they’re better maintained than OLG. Ridiculous how many errors I get during a session.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

You can still offer games to the rest of Canada and it costs nothing really to just leave it as is. You should work on the Ontario license way too big of a market with a lot of potential to miss out on.

 

[casguy2016]

Light & Wonder (Scientific Games) now has a license...what makes this exciting is there are games on the OLG website of theirs so perhaps it increases the chances of seeing BTG if not by launch but soon after

 

[helafast]

Yeah I hope so. Strange that BTG didn't get a license along with Evolution and NetEnt since they are owned by the same company (along with RT).

 

[slotmaster]

I do like some Scientific games slots! Not all of them but interested to see what titles we will get, I am a sucker for Monopoly and Zeus type games.

Edit:

ALSO BEIR HAUS!!!

[The Dude]

I'm starting to get some confusing emails from affiliate programs about how advertisers are supposed to deal with Ontario facing casinos. From what I can tell, unless a casino holds a license from Ontario, it can't be made available for anyone in Canada. For instance, a Kahnawake licensed casino like Sports Interaction can't be advertised on a site that has any of these Ontario licensed casinos - even if this casino is taking players from Vancouver.

So in other words - we have to block all casinos from all Canadian traffic unless they have an Ontario license - but they only take folks from Ontario?

The onus is not on us to figure out where people can play. The onus is on the casino to block unwanted or unregulated traffic.

Or actually on the player - read the freaking terms and conditions - if you can't play there - you can't sign up.

 

[bruinsdude]

it has already begun. Logged into OLG made a deposit, went to my go to Wheel of Fortune megaways, and Auto play is simply GONE!

 

[casguy2016]

I was wondering how they were going to deal with the rules they had set that they did not follow on the OLG site. I hope that along with the 2.5 seconds rule go away sooner rather than later. I would say the 2.5 seconds is the worst but i guess i'll see when I try it. I know i'm not a fan of playing Ainsworth games as they seem to be pretty slow between spins...never timed them though to see if it's 2.5 seconds, less or more...just annoying

The advertising rules on Canadian tv at least is they can't advertise their bonus terms...not sure if that changes online or not.


I'm not sure how it affects advertising but a Casino that doesn't have an iGaming Ontario license cannot allow Ontario players but they can allow players from other provinces. If they allow Ontario players they chance never being able to get a license if they want one in the future.

As well if a group owns multiple Casinos all of them must follow this rule so if one breaks it then it jeopardises the entire group's chances at a liense in the future. Of course a Casino can decide not to block Ontario if they never want a license.

I would however assume that slot gaming companies that have a deal with iGaming Ontario likely will start blocking Ontario customers from playing their slot come April 4th which will affect Casino game selection for those that are not licensed.

As well this is based on where the client is...so someone from Quebec could play on Ontario licensed Casino as long as they are physically in Ontario when they wager. Someone that lives in Ontario could go out of Province and still deposit and withdraw but not wager.

Sorry wish i had the original articles for all of these but i'm just going from memory from what I have read over the last 1-2 months

one last thing...an Kahnawake licensed Casino is still valid in Ontario as far as I know but likely those casinos will never be able to convert to iGaming Ontario. As far as I know the Ontario government doesn't have the rights to step over Kahnawake's licenses but they could in theory sign a deal with various slots companies and be exclusive to them in Ontario so this might affect the amount of games available on Kahnawake based Casinos including sports interaction (who is a great casino)

 

[casguy2016]

Not sure if this helps @Casinomeister :

The accountability for meeting advertising standards is held by iGaming operators themselves. iGaming operators are responsible to ensure that any third parties they contract with, including entities commonly referred to as "marketing affiliates" advertising on the operator's behalf, also meet the standards

YAY! I think,lol. Don't want to bombard with questions but are we keeping our level status and everything?

 

[slotmaster]

I know I am confused! You can only play if you are in Ontario for Ontario Licensed casinos, so like right now I am in Ontario, I can't play on B.C. Licensed casinos. It's not Canada Government, It's the provinces making the laws and rules.
