Five judges on the appeals court are now deliberating on a decision that could significantly alter Ontario's daily fantasy sports and online poker landscape, both for free and for a fee.

Together with the provincial government and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, iGaming Ontario works to regulate the igaming sector, safeguard consumers in areas like responsible gaming, and expand the selection of digital gaming options. It was only a few weeks ago that iGaming Ontario's status was going to change.

I believe this represents a crucial moment for both players and operators in the gaming industry, as legal clarity and regulatory frameworks can significantly impact how these activities are conducted and perceived. Such discussions are vital for ensuring that the interests of all stakeholders participants, regulators, and operators are thoughtfully considered.
