MediaTroopers Expanding Its Gambling Expertise to Ontario
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.

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.
St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.
Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year.

The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.
Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.
This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.
With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.

“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
