Ben Clemes, chief executive officer at High Roller, said: “The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online casino product into the market later this year.
