Playgon Receives GLI Certification for Live Games in Ontario

One of the leading SaaS technology companies specializing in state-of-the-art mobile live dealer technology and eTable games for online gaming operators globally, Playgon Games Inc., has proudly announced the successful reception of Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) certification for its live dealer games.

This certification aligns with the technical requirements of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission Ontario (AGCO) and positions the provider for a strategic entry into the burgeoning online gaming market in Canada’s regulated province.

Further Licensing in Progress

Playgon had previously obtained GLI certification for its Las Vegas studio, and the recent certification for Ontario paves the way for the company's commercial launch into this rapidly expanding market.

The provider of digital games for the iGaming Industry is also in the process of obtaining certifications for other jurisdictions, including Colombia, Italy, and Mexico. These accreditations will be completed in stages as Playgon approaches customer launches in these regions.

In 2023, iGaming Ontario reported staggering figures for the province's online gaming market, with Ontarians wagering approximately $45.4 billion, marking a substantial increase of 27.5% from the previous year.

Gaming revenues during this period reached $1.74 billion, up by an impressive 24%. These remarkable statistics solidify Ontario's position as one of North America's largest iGaming markets.

Darcy Krogh, CEO of Playgon Games Inc., expressed his excitement about entering this flourishing market, stating, “We are excited to be part of this growing North American market. We have a number of commitments to take our VegasLounge™ live dealer offering into Ontario, and this GLI certification was the last step we needed prior to the launch in this market.”

Krogh emphasized the significance of Ontario as a key market for Playgon, with over 70% of wagering and revenues in the province attributed to casino gaming.

The GLI certification for Ontario demonstrates Playgon's commitment to regulatory compliance and product excellence. GLI is a globally recognized testing and certification authority for the gaming industry, ensuring that companies meet the highest standards in terms of fairness, integrity, and security.

Well-Positioned for Ontario

Playgon's VegasLounge live dealer offering is set to revolutionize the online gaming experience in Ontario, providing players with a cutting-edge and immersive platform.

With the successful completion of GLI certification, Playgon is well-positioned to captivate the Ontario market and contribute to the continued growth of the province's iGaming sector.

As Playgon Games Inc. prepares for its commercial launch in Ontario, the gaming community eagerly anticipates the arrival of this innovative live dealer experience, further enriching the dynamic landscape of online gaming in the province.
