A note on the $3.2 billion figure
Several widely-shared reports state Ontario’s FY2024-25 gross gaming revenue as "$2.9 billion". The iGaming Ontario year-three market report states $3.2 billion. The $2.9B figure appears to be a transcription error that propagated between outlets. If you are citing Ontario GGR, use $3.2B and link the iGO report.
