Ontario's regulated market posted CAD $3.2 billion in gross gaming revenue for fiscal 2024-25, up 32% year over year, on $82.7 billion in total wagers. (You'll see '$2.9 billion' in some coverage — that's a transcription error that spread between outlets; the iGaming Ontario year-three report says $3.2B.)
The split is the interesting part. Casino games generated $2.4 billion, 75% of everything, which dwarfs sports betting ($724 million) and poker ($66 million). For all the sportsbook advertising on Canadian TV, the actual money is in slots and live tables.
Activity numbers: 1.1 million player accounts were active in an average month, and the average active account generated $278 in monthly revenue for operators. That figure is worth sitting with. It's the house edge compounding over time, and it's why our responsible gambling page tells you to set a deposit limit on day one, not after a bad month.
For players choosing where to sign up, the scale matters for one reason: a 44-operator market is a competitive one. Operators that pay slowly, run thin lobbies or ship bad apps lose players to the casino next door. Our index exists to speed that process up.
