Entain’s Sports Interaction Brand Secures Ontario License
Entain, the global sports betting, gaming and interactive entertainment group, announced that its Sports Interaction brand has secured an online gaming license to operate in the recently regulated Ontario market, from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.

Robert Hoskin, Chief Governance Officer at Entain, said: “We’re really pleased with our performance so far across our stable of brands in Ontario, and in particular to have secured a license for our Sports Interaction brand in this highly competitive market.
“Since we acquired Sports Interaction earlier this year, we have bolstered our team on the ground as part of the integration to really capture the exciting growth opportunity ahead. It has the potential to be a significant market with a large, engaged and passionate sports fan base. As a global leader in sports betting, gaming, and interactive entertainment, this aligns with our strategy to be a leader across our regulated markets.”
