PlayOLG.ca Online Gambling Website to Launch in Ontario This Year

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp (OLG) is set to launch its online gambling website, PlayOLG.ca, later this year.

Casino and lottery type games will be offered to citizens of the province including those in its biggest city of Toronto.

"The move into internet gaming is an exciting step in OLG's modernization," said Rod Phillips, president and CEO of OLG.

UK-based Spielo G2 won the bid through a "competitive" procurement process to offer the casino games, including slots, video poker games, and table games.

"Subsequent phases will include bingo, sports wagering, online poker and the introduction of other new products," the OLG said in its release.
