Context and relevance

This matters because Ontario is one of North America’s largest regulated online gambling markets; sustained monthly record-setting indicates accelerating consumer adoption and higher monetisation per account. For operators and suppliers, the data highlight where growth is concentrated (online casino and sports betting) and where product performance is lagging (poker wagering). Regulators and provincial stakeholders will also note the revenue implications and potential tax/consumer-protection needs as activity rises.
