BetMGM Strengthens Canadian Footprint with New Toronto Office Launch
BetMGM has taken a significant step in bolstering its presence in Canada with the inauguration of a larger, upgraded office in Toronto. This move not only reflects the company’s dedication to the country’s burgeoning regulated gaming industry but also signals its strategic focus on long-term growth within the region.
The company celebrated the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week, marking the official launch of the expanded facility. The new office is designed to support the ongoing expansion of BetMGM’s Ontario-based teams, facilitating increased operational capacity. Ontario, identified by BetMGM as one of its most vital North American markets, is seen as a key hub for its Canadian operations. The enlarged workspace aims to accommodate future hires and bolster functions related to compliance, product innovation, and customer engagement.
Ontario’s regulated online gambling landscape, which was launched in 2022, continues to attract attention from major operators eager to capitalize on its stable licensing environment and strong consumer interest. BetMGM’s increased investment underscores the importance of the province’s market, which is becoming a focal point for operators seeking to establish a foothold in Canada.
In a LinkedIn statement, BetMGM highlighted that the Toronto office expansion also sets the stage for potential growth into Alberta. The company is closely monitoring Alberta’s evolving approach to legal online betting, with discussions about market liberalization progressing over the past year. Stakeholders are awaiting further clarity on licensing procedures before making any definitive moves.
The company expressed enthusiasm about the future, stating: “We’re proud to support the continued growth of our Toronto team, and excited to set the foundation for future growth into Alberta on the horizon.” BetMGM also extended gratitude to its employees in the region, emphasizing that their efforts “cultivate legendary moments, both in and out of the office.”

This expansion in Toronto highlights a broader trend of increased investment in Canada’s regulated gaming markets. Since provincial frameworks began opening up, there has been rapid product innovation and intensified competition among operators. Ontario remains at the heart of these developments, often serving as a base for teams that support wider North American operations.
Adding to its recent initiatives, BetMGM announced a new sports betting contest tied to the upcoming Men’s and Women’s college basketball tournaments. The promotion features a leaderboard tracking qualifying wagers, with the top 25 users set to win travel packages and tickets for events in Las Vegas, further demonstrating the company’s ongoing efforts to engage Canadian consumers with innovative offerings.
