Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
