Fitzdares Secures AGCO Registration for Ontario Market

UK-based bookmaker Fitzdares has received its iGaming operator registration from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
The British bookie has cleared the first major hurdle required to begin operations in the Canadian province, whose regulated online gambling market will launch on 4 April.
However, while securing AGCO registration is a big step, Fitzdares must still execute an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario and receive final approvals.
This will delay the bookie’s arrival in the province. While other operators will go live on launch day, Fitzdares expects to debut its betting service this summer. Nevertheless, the company remains undeterred, counting on its “customer-focused experience” to see off the competition.
“We are truly excited to be launching the Fitzdares experience in Ontario in the coming months,” said William Woodhams, Fitzdares CEO.
“Receiving our AGCO licence is a landmark achievement for the business. There will be huge competition in this newly regulated market, but we feel our more premium and customer-focused experience will be an ideal fit.
“Work is very much underway to ensure that we deliver on our promise – in style. I would like to thank the teams at both the AGCO and iGaming Ontario for supporting us with our application and preparations for launch.”
When the bookmaker eventually goes live in Ontario, Canada will become the third country where Fitzdares operates real-money online gaming, after the UK and Ireland.

AGCO Removes Cap on Seller Commission for Charitable Lottery Products

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has updated several lottery policies to remove the cap on seller commission for Paper Raffles and Media Bingo, along with removing the prohibition on Catch the Ace paper lotteries, to align with other charitable lottery products.
Licensed charities may now negotiate commissions directly with sellers and determine commissions, provided they are reasonable and tied to the cost of service provided by the seller.
These updates further the AGCO’s commitment to adopt an outcomes-based regulatory approach and reduce burden for the charitable gaming sector. Local charitable organizations will have greater flexibility to make decisions that best serve their fundraising objectives.
Important Reminders
• Charities must still receive approval for other expenses incurred under their licence and retain receipts for seller commission paid.
• Licensing authorities will not require documentation to be submitted as part of the application process, however, charities are still subject to audit to determine compliance.
• Charities are reminded of their legal requirement to meet their obligations under the Criminal Code and with respect to conducting and managing a charitable gaming scheme.
• As with all licensed charitable lottery events, charities must take the necessary steps to ensure that they are conducting and managing the lottery event within Ontario.
For charitable gaming-related inquiries, email an AGCO Eligibility Officer at [email protected] or call AGCO Customer Service at 1-800-522-2876, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
