Markor Technology granted AGCO approval to offer services in Ontario

Global B2B and B2C iGaming technology provider given green light to provide content aggregation and PAM services after passing regulator’s platform certification
Markor Technology, the iGaming industry’s premier casino software aggregation platform and technology solutions provider, announced today that its global expansion plans have taken another big stride forward after the company gained approval to operate in Ontario.
Having successfully completed platform certification under full compliance with the relevant standards and requirements from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), Markor can now provide both its platform and content to all licensed entities in the Canadian province.
Now formally registered as a Gaming-Related Supplier with AGCO, Markor will be to offer all Ontario-approved online casino brands access to an extensive catalogue of slots, table games and live dealer options that are currently available via its industry leading game aggregation platform. With these including titles from the iGaming industry’s best known software providers, as well as up-and-coming studios, Ontario online casino brands will now be able to expand their line-ups and offer a greater range of options to players.
Not only that, but the company will now also be able to supply its multi-vertical and multi-licensed PAM service in the regulated Ontario market, enabling all licensed brands to enhance their business with in-house tools and agile technologies that provide real-time optimisation and actionable insights. Already approved to operate in a number of major iGaming markets including Malta, Gibraltar, the United Kingdom and Spain, the acquisition of further regulatory approval in Ontario will certainly come as a major boost to Markor Technology as the company looks to increase its presence on the global stage.
With Portugal, Sweden and Romania also included in the certification roadmap for 2023, Markor Technology is set to continue working tirelessly to expand the number of markets that it’s able to operate in throughout the year and is looking forward to working with all its new partners in Ontario.
Melissa Summerfield, Chief Executive Officer at Markor Technology, said: “The acquisition of proper licensing and certification has always been at the very heart of Markor Technology’s long-term expansion plans, so we’re obviously delighted to have been granted approval from AGCO to offer both our content aggregation platform and PAM services to all locally-licensed casino operators in Ontario.
“Being formally registered as a Gaming-Related Supplier with AGCO will open up a lot of new doors for our business and allow us to connect with new partners in the rapidly expanding Ontario market. We’re very much looking forward to helping operators in the province further enhance their operations and bolster the range of high-quality casino content that they’re able to offer to players.”

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
