PowerPlay.com Launches New Site in Ontario
Today sees the official launch of PowerPlay’s new online gaming site for players in Ontario, Canada.
PowerPlay believes that Canada is the perfect market for their online sportsbook and casino site. With a shared passion for North American and European sports, there is a natural synergy between Canadian players and PowerPlay.
PowerPlay’s core offerings are centred around Ice Hockey, Basketball, NFL, MLB, and European Soccer, focusing on the EPL. Plus, there are slots, table games, and a live casino where players can interact with live dealers at any time. The new site release ensures players in Ontario can bet pre-match or live in-play on sports and play live casino, slots, or table games 24/7.
Ontario players can continue to visit www.powerplay.com; they will then automatically and securely be redirected to the localized site based on their location using enhanced geolocation technology. Additionally, players in Ontario will be able to use the brand-new Apple and Google Apps, both of which are now live in the respective app stores. All other players in Canada, and across the world, can continue to access the site via powerplay as well.
Dean Serrao, CEO of PowerPlay, is confident and positive about the company’s new offering: “Our worldwide teams have been working around the clock to ensure players have the best possible site, and the fact that players can now seamlessly access the platform across multiple localized instances will further enhance that experience.”
Serrao continues, “Canada has been a core market since our launch in 2018. Joining the regulated Ontario market represents a key milestone in the company’s journey. I am proud of the continued solid commitment from all of our staff for getting us to this point. We will be doing all that we can to provide a fantastic and localized experience to all our players in Ontario.”
PowerPlay has succeeded to date, in part, due to the payment methods it provides players, and this won’t change on the new site. Players can use over 250 banks or financial institutions in Canada via the payment gateway Interac. Credit & debit cards are also accepted, along with Paysafecard.
ComeOn Group announced a significant milestone in its sportsbook expansion journey with the addition of sportsbook to their offering in Ontario following the successful acquisition of the required permits. This addition represents a strategic advancement in the Groups sportsbook growth trajectory where they are set to double its sportsbook business in the coming years.
ComeOn Group is one of 51 active operators in Ontario. The Ontario market has experienced robust growth since its launch, reaching C$6.7 billion in revenue in 2023.* By 2029, the market is forecasted to grow by a total of 29%, with 2024 expected to close with a 20% increase.
ComeOn keeps investing in its sportsbook business acceleration that is powered by its proprietary sportsbook platform and in-house risk management and trading team. As a multi product vertical operator, ComeOn is striving to give its customer base a safe and exciting entertainment destination and this approach is now expanded to their Ontario audience.
Juergen Reutter, Chief Executive Officer at ComeOn Group, said: “We are very excited about the opportunities this new milestone opens up for us. As a casino-led operator it represents a key part of our sportsbook strategy to double our business in the coming years. Like in any of our other markets, we are striving for a differentiated sportsbook entertainment experience that is powered by our in-house technology. Our goal is to deliver top-tier entertainment to our players while fostering safe and innovative gaming experiences.”
