Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application

Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.

As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.

Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.

In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.

Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, 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.”

Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has reaffirmed its commitment to the dynamic LatAm market by sponsoring the third edition of BiS SiGMA Americas, running from April 7-10 in São Paulo.

Becoming an official sponsor of BiS SiGMA Americas 2025 reinforces the company’s commitment to the region’s burgeoning iGaming industry.

As part of the sponsorship, PG Soft’s brand will be highly visible at the Registration Desk, where a dedicated Welcome Team will be wearing PG Soft t-shirts. Additionally, PG Soft is putting on free travel to and from the Hilton Morumbi and Transamerica Expo Center, with the potential to add further hotels.

The show is expected to welcome 18,000 iGaming professionals, offering opportunities to connect with industry peers, prestigious gala awards, and more than 300 expert speakers.

PG Soft’s spokesperson said: “BiS SiGMA Americas is a flagship event on the iGaming calendar, and one we’re very happy to support to heighten the experience for visitors. PG Soft’s brand will feature strongly and we’re delighted to improve transport connections during the show.”
