Game developer Playnetic has received a license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

This is Playnetic’s first market in Canada, and the company will now be able to partner with licensed operators in the province to offer its games.

Alberta lawmakers introduced Bill 48, the iGaming Alberta Act, on 26 March to create a regulated online gambling market in the province.

Playnetic Chief Executive Dan Phillips said, “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in igaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”

Playnetic Chief Commercial Officer Julian Borg-Barthet added, “Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”

The move into the Ontario market follows other recent expansions from Playnetic. The company agreed a deal with Microgame to launch in the Italian market, which made its games available to more than 50 Italian operators.
