To further meet the demand of the golf betting community, PointsBet users will have access to a player leaderboard, updating in real time and will have the ability to favorite players to move to the top of the leaderboard to easily access and monitor hole performance. Additionally, bettors can utilize live data and statistics, including course and hole maps and shot-by-shot data for every player on the course, to best inform their betting selections for key pro golf events, such as the Majors, THE PLAYERS Championship, Presidents Cup, FedExCup Playoffs, and Ryder Cup.

Platipus Secures Ontario Supplier Licence
Platipus Gaming has officially obtained a supplier licence to operate in the province of Ontario, Canada. This licence allows the company to provide gaming content to licensed operators in the province and represents a significant milestone in Platipus’ ongoing focus on regulatory alignment, operational consistency, and responsible product supply.
Importance for Operators
For Ontario-licensed operators, partnering with a licensed supplier like Platipus ensures that content is delivered in line with AGCO requirements. This reduces the need for additional regulatory assessments and supports smoother integration of third-party content into licensed operations. All products are designed and supplied with responsible gambling and player protection in mind, adhering to the technical and operational standards required by the Commission.
Strategic Significance for Platipus Gaming
The Ontario licence is a reflection of Platipus’ compliance-by-design philosophy. Regulatory considerations are integrated early in the development process, rather than being addressed as a final checkpoint. This approach ensures that products, processes, and operational structures are prepared for regulated environments from the outset.
Operating under AGCO also positions Platipus to engage with other regulated markets where Ontario standards are often referenced as benchmarks. The licence supports the company’s long-term goal of maintaining consistent product quality, operational reliability, and responsible content supply across multiple jurisdictions.
Company Perspectives
A spokesperson from the Legal Department commented: “We are pleased to receive our supplier licence in Ontario and to make our gaming content and solutions available. Following a comprehensive application process, we can now formally present this achievement as part of our regulated market presence.”
Viktoriia Andreasen, Head of Marketing, added: “Ontario stands out as a well-structured and highly organised jurisdiction. It represents an important regulated market with strong operational standards”.
Ontario supplier licence confirms that Platipus can deliver content in one of the world’s most tightly regulated iGaming markets, with all technical, operational, and compliance requirements addressed.
This milestone represents more than a geographic expansion. It signals that Platipus Gaming has structured processes, robust governance, and a compliance-focused development approach, supporting sustainable regulated operations and long-term market participation.
