AGCO introduces ban on athletes in Ontario igaming advertising

A ban on the use of athletes in igaming advertising and marketing came into effect in Ontario in February. The amended standards prohibit registered Ontario igaming operators from using athletes, active or retired, in igaming marketing and advertising, except for the exclusive purpose of advocating for responsible gambling practices. The standards also restrict the use of celebrities, role models, social media influencers, entertainers, cartoon figures and symbols that “would likely be expected to appeal to minors”.
