Published

on

 

MediaTroopers, a leading digital marketing agency that specializes in online gambling, announced this week that the company has launched its services to Ontario, promoting its customers on its various websites, portals, and media channels, providing access to millions of Canadian customers.

Thanks to new legislation, MediaTroopers can now deliver its decades of combined expertise in online gambling to betting operators and bettors within the province.

 

A Massive Step For Ontario

On April 4th, 2022, the gambling floodgates opened in the Land of a Thousand Lakes as online casinos and sports betting sites launched to eager bettors in Ontario. The Canadian province became the first in the country to launch its own regulated online gambling market, which is likely to shake up Canada’s gambling landscape and get the ball rolling in other territories.

While we’re yet to see how this launch may impact other provinces and their stances on regulated online gambling, Ontario bettors can now access top US brands and internationally licensed operators. More than 30 sportsbooks and casinos have applied for an Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) license to operate in the province. For example, FanDuel, PointsBet, and Unibet are just some of the renowned names to obtain regulation and launch in Ontario thus far.

In fact, MediaTroopers already has long-lasting partnerships with several US operators currently live in Ontario and many more likely to launch in the coming weeks and months. Therefore, the prominent marketing company can now promote its partners and all their great benefits in the Canadian province and deliver its top-quality services to brand-new markets.

 

An Exciting Time for Bettors and MediaTroopers

MediaTroopers’ CEO, Sam Segal, stated, “Now is an exceptionally exciting time, both for bettors and operators in Ontario and for us here at MediaTroopers. We are delighted to have been given this incredible opportunity to offer our innovative and high-value expertise and services to the legalized betting market in Ontario.”

While the addition of Ontario carrying MediaTroopers to the Great White North, the prominent digital marketing company already has years of success in the US. At the moment, MediaTroopers is operational in more than 16 states and Washington DC, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois.

“MediaTroopers currently operates in almost every US state where online gambling is legal,” Segal continued. “Therefore, expanding our services to Canada and adding Ontario to our portfolio is a huge milestone. This natural progression into exciting North American markets allows us to reach new audiences in the US’ neighbour to the north.”

“After several successful launches in the US throughout the first few months of 2022, we are looking forward to working in the province and bringing its people more excitement with safe online casino and sports betting. We also hope that this regulated gambling launch inspires other Canadian territories to rework existing legislation and change the iGaming industry for the better. This is only the beginning of regulated online gambling in Canada.” Segal concluded.

Enormous Gambling Potential in Ontario

Talking about the potential of the Canadian province, Segal said: “If we compare Ontario to the US, the province’s almost 15 million population would make it the fifth-most populous US state, behind only California, Texas, Florida, and New York. Early forecasts predict that regulated gambling in Ontario may generate millions, if not billions, of dollars in the coming months and years. This impressive revenue and expansion mean that the province has the potential to become one of the largest gambling markets in North America.”

On MediaTroopers’ vision for Canada, Segal commented: “With no limit on the number of operators who can launch in Ontario, there is no telling just how big the territory’s industry can become. As MediaTroopers serves some of the world’s biggest gambling brands, we aim to capitalize on this unique opportunity and bring quality marketing content to a previously unexplored area of North America.”

MediaTroopers’ prominent partnerships with leading operators explain why the digital marketing agency has managed to thrive in the past few years. Ultimately, we can expect great things from this regulated gambling launch, both from MediaTroopers and new operators in Ontario.

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids

BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season

With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.

“Scratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but they’re not for kids,” said Ryan McCarthy, BCLC’s Director of Player Health. “The research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.”

While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.

“With the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,” said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. “Our research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.”

In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.

“Open and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,” said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:

  • Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
  • Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
  • Limit exposure. Monitor kids’ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.
