Canadian Gaming Summit 2023 Announces ‘Sports Betting’ Conference Track
The 26th edition of the Canadian Gaming Summit, the country’s premier gaming and betting event, is swiftly approaching and alongside coveted speakers, panels and a lively exhibition floor, attendees will be given the opportunity to discuss the state of sports betting in the stimulating ‘Sports Betting’ conference track.
The ‘Sports Betting’ conference track will be taking place on Wednesday, June 14th, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto. Across the day attendees will have access to a variety of thought-provoking and informative panels on topics such as how operators’ relationship with regulatory bodies can ensure integrity in sports betting, the place of operator-led media organizations in the Canadian market and how operators can leverage content, creative and influencers to build brand equity.
Opening the conference track is the panel ‘Sports betting across Canada: navigating the patchwork of a provincial rollout’, which will analyze the impact of legalized single-event sports betting in Canada.
The panelists include Doug Hood (Project Director Gaming Modernization, AGCO), Bruce Caughill (Managing Director Canada, Rush Street Interactive) and Mike Maodus (Associate, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP). The panel will be moderated by Salim Adatia (Vice-President, Gaming Labs International) and will comment on the variety of models provinces can adopt, such as attracting third-party operators and optimizing current offerings.
The eagerly awaited panel ‘Partner and play: collaboration between Canadian teams, leagues and sportsbooks’, will study how open major sports leagues and teams are to collaborating with operators.
The panel will include expert analysis from Owen Welsh (Associate Vice-President Sports Betting, Gaming and Innovation, Canadian Football League), Andrew Stokes (Senior Director Global Partnership Group, Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment), Aubrey Levy (Senior Vice-President Content and Marketing, TheScore) and Kuljeet Sindhar (Associate Vice-President, International Gaming and Data Ventures, NBA). The panel will examine the successful partnerships already established between teams and sportsbooks, the potential regulatory roadblocks that they can present and sports leagues yet to be explored.
The final panel of the conference track is the ‘eSports betting in Canada: investing, reducing friction and opening up a new audience’, which will explore the potentially huge untapped source of fans and revenue that is the burgeoning world of eSports.
The panel will consist of industry experts Melanie Penner (Founder, Manitoba Esports Association), Alex Igelman (Chief Executive Officer, Esports Entertainment), Daniel Sanders (Director of Marketing, Luckbox) and Alex Kozachenko (Chief Product Officer, Data Be) and will be moderated by Ng Hai (Integrity Ambassador, ESIC). The panel will discuss the number of successful Canadian eSports teams and analyze the challenges of entering the currently unrecognized market, how companies can invest in eSports teams and how operators can reduce friction between the converging worlds.
Alongside the ‘Sports Betting’ track, attendees of the summit will have the opportunity to attend specialist-led panels from a further nine tracks including leaders, landscape, iGaming and many more across the three-day event.

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.
The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.
The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.
“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.
“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”
Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.

Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.
Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.
The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.
The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.
Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes
Wand of Riches 2, Rumble Riches Haulin’ Gold and Firecracker Frenzy Money Toad, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots Captain’s Catch and Charming Lady’s Boom.
David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.
“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”
