TheScore achieves certification for Ontario sports betting and igaming
The Penn National Gaming subsidiary will offer its services in the Canadian province, subject to regulatory approvals.
Canada.- Digital media and sports betting platform theScore has achieved Gaming Laboratories International GLI-33 certification for its full suite of sports betting and iGaming offerings for Ontario.
The achievement marks an important step for the Penn National Gaming subsidiary, as the company moves closer to becoming a regulated operator in the region. The GLI-33 certification aims to provide independent technical analysis to wagering industry stakeholders, highlighting whether an operator meets the international standards set by Gaming Laboratories.
theScore expects to offer its services, subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals and satisfaction of pre-launch requirements imposed by the AGCO and iGaming Ontario. The province of Ontario is expected to start offering regulated online igaming and sports betting with private operators in early 2022.
John Levy, CEO of theScore, said: “We’re pleased to be one of the first online gaming operators to secure GLI-33 certification in Ontario.
“We are eager to launch theScore Bet in our home market and showcase our unrivalled combination of media and gaming to fans across the province. This approval is a credit to our first-rate product and engineering team who have been hard at work to ready theScore Bet for launch in Ontario.”
