Betsson has launched a broad B2C offering through its global brand Betsafe, including online casino and sports betting, for the locally regulated market in Ontario.
Betsafe’s products will run on the platform of Strive Gaming (40%-owned by Betsson) and will be available to customers in Ontario via Betsson’s native mobile apps, available for download via Apple Store and Google Play store, as well as via the website ot.betsafe.com. Betsson’s product offering for Ontario has been localized to deliver a North American player experience.
Betsson has also received a supplier license, which enables the group to also offer the sportsbook product on a B2B basis to other operators.
Ontario, home to almost 40 percent of Canada’s 38 million inhabitants, is economically the most important province of the country and the online gaming market in the province is widely expected to become one of the largest in North America.
Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO of Betsson AB, comments: “We are pleased to obtain the necessary licenses to operate with both a B2C and B2B offering in the locally regulated online gaming market in Ontario. We are convinced that there are great opportunities for Betsson in Ontario in both the B2C and B2B channels as we bring a highly competitive offering to the market.”
