The province\u2019s online casinos alone amassed CA$259.8 million in revenue during the month, contributing to a historic high in overall iGaming gross gaming revenue (GGR). Notably, Ontario iGaming Revenue May played a significant role in this record-breaking performance, reflecting the sector\u2019s rapid growth and increasing player engagement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, Ontario\u2019s total gross gaming revenue hit CA$338.0 million (approximately US$247.0 million), smashing previous records and reflecting a 2.9% increase over the prior peak of CA$328.5 million set in January. Compared to May of last year, this represents a hefty 40.3% jump, and an 8.0% rise from April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breaking down the numbers, online casino operations led the charge, accounting for 77% of all iGaming income. Sports betting contributed CA$71.8 million, a 26.3% rise from the previous year, while internet poker grew by 18.9%, reaching CA$6.3 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market share-wise, online casinos dominate Ontario\u2019s iGaming landscape, but the wagering figures reveal even more impressive growth. Total player spend across all platforms hit a record-breaking CA$8.07 billion in May \u2014 surpassing the previous high of CA$7.95 billion from March. This marks the first time Ontario\u2019s iGaming handle has crossed the CA$8 billion threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.igamingamerika.com\/caesars-palace-times-square-launches-inclusive-ownership-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caesars Palace Times Square Launches Inclusive Ownership Partnership<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year-over-year, wagering increased by nearly 29%, with a modest 3.5% growth month-over-month. The lion\u2019s share of this activity was driven by internet casino play, which alone accounted for CA$6.96 billion\u2014up 30.9% from last year. Sports betting wagers grew by 18.5% to CA$972 million, while online poker wagers rose by 11.6% to CA$129 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, these record-breaking revenue and spending figures come despite a slight dip in active players\u2014down 2% year-over-year to 1.07 million. Nonetheless, the average revenue per active player rose by 10%, reaching CA$316, highlighting increased engagement and higher per-user spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ontario\u2019s iGaming landscape is undeniably vibrant, with record-breaking figures underscoring its rapid expansion\u2014even amid shifting player dynamics. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Ontario iGaming Revenue May<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontario\u2019s iGaming sector continues to surge, with May\u2019s figures signaling a robust appetite for online gaming and betting.
