PROLINE+ Named Official Sports Betting Partner of NHL in Canada

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the National Hockey League (NHL) announced a multi-year partnership designating OLG’s PROLINE+ sportsbook product as an Official Sports Betting Partner of the NHL, marking the League’s first sports betting partnership in Canada.
Under the multi-year deal, OLG becomes an official NHL partner for sports betting on both its PROLINE+ digital sports betting platform and the new PROLINE product at retail lottery outlets across Ontario. The partnership provides OLG with distribution rights to the League’s official logos and cross-promotion across NHL digital and social channels.
“The OLG-NHL deal is a big win for our valued sports bettors. A partnership with a world-class organization like the NHL will help complement the ultimate sports betting experience for hockey fans on PROLINE+ and PROLINE at retail, where our players can execute legal single-event wagers and other unique bets on a sport they love,” Dave Pridmore, OLG’s Chief Digital and Strategy Officer, said.
“As we prepare to stage our sixth NHL Heritage Classic this weekend in Hamilton, we’re thrilled to announce PROLINE+ by OLG as the NHL’s first official sports betting partner in Canada. As a leading gaming entertainment operator for more than four decades with an excellent track record in Ontario, OLG is an ideal partner for the NHL to begin our transformative entry into this space in Canada and to further engage our avid Canadian fan base,” said Kyle McMann, NHL Senior Vice President, North American Business Development.
The OLG/PROLINE and NHL partnership includes:
- Unique and engaging NHL content delivered across proline.ca and NHL digital platforms.
- Exclusive OLG/PROLINE and NHL events and promotions at retail outlets and online with PROLINE+.
- Special co-branded promotions for sports betting enthusiasts during select 2021-22 regular season games, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final, and 2022-23 season.
OLG and PROLINE have been proud supporters of sports in Ontario for decades. This partnership with the NHL further demonstrates OLG and PROLINE’s ongoing commitment to creating new opportunities for sports betting play and developing innovative player experiences both at retailers and online.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
