Ontarians can now enjoy the 1X2 Network’s compelling portfolio of casino games via 888casino – one of the world’s leading online casino brands and part of 888 Holdings plc – along with groundbreaking content from 1X2’s sister brand, Iron Dog Studio.

These include hit titles like. Wolf Strike, Megaways and 1 Million Megaways BC

The news comes after the 1X2 Network received licensing approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario in May 2022. 888casino was one of the first operators to go live on a locally regulated basis in Ontario when the province launched its new online gaming market in April.

Ontario is the first of Canada’s 13 provinces to regulate online gaming and license international operators, with other provinces largely offering limited gaming through state-owned monopolies. Ontario is Canada’s largest province by population and promises to quickly become one of the biggest casino markets in North America, with 888casino being a dominant player.
