Online Casino Boosts iGaming Ontario with Healthy September Figures

iGaming Ontario has published its latest online gambling figures, with healthy numbers across casino and sports betting brands.

Total Non-Adjusted Gross Gaming Revenue (NAGGR) was $416.3 million, up 5% month over month. Active player accounts also rose 17% to 1.4 million. However, average revenue per account was down 10% to $295.

iGaming Ontario produces monthly reports for its online gambling industry across sports betting, casino, and poker. The province opened its state-run gambling industry to private companies in 2022.

While NAGGR rose 5% month over month, it has jumped 26% since September 2025.

88% of Bets Are at Online Casinos

The September iGaming Ontario report shows the predictable domination of online casinos in the province’s gambling industry.

Ontario bettors wagered $8.5 billion at online casinos, including slots, roulette, and live dealer titles.

In terms of market share, online casinos have consistently outperformed sports betting over the past 12 months. Casinos accounted for 86% of market share in September 2025. That share has rarely dipped month-on-month since.

On the flip side, sports betting attracted just over $1.07 billion in cash wagers, and poker just $130 million. Sports wagering was up $200 million compared to August, but the start of the NFL season was undoubtedly a key factor.

• Online Casino for September: $8.5 billion (-3% M-o-M)
• Sports Betting Wagers: $1.07 billion (+27% M-o-M)
• Active Player Accounts: 1.413 million (+17% M-o-M)

Ontario Hitting Double-Digit Growth Every Year

Ontario has been a flagship for how to operate a regulated online gambling industry in North America. It has grown exponentially since going live in 2022, with overall gaming revenue and wagers trending upward.

From April 2022 to March 2023, legal and regulated online gambling in Ontario rose 50% quarter over quarter for both total bets and revenue. There has been roughly a 10% year-over-year increase in the gambling economy since.

Strong regulation and an immediate influx of reliable operators have helped. Ontario has allowed some of the biggest global sports betting brands and online casinos to operate.

There are very few bad actors, though game manufacturers have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.

In August, Booming Games was fined for allowing prohibited autoplay functions. Meanwhile, in May, two gaming companies were charged after their games were found on illegal offshore gambling sites. Relax Gaming and Arrise Solutions were fined $40,000 for the violation.

Alberta Playing Catch-Up

Ontario’s online gambling maturity is evident when you compare its figures to Alberta’s. The Alberta iGaming Corp (AiGC) reported $122.1 million in NAGGR in its first three months live.

Alberta has some way to go to match Ontario’s near-$10 billion revenue push. However, with over 50 operators now live, including some heavy hitters already live in Ontario, the province could catch up sooner rather than later.
