High Roller Technologies targets Ontario with licence application
Nevada-based High Roller Technologies has submitted an application for a licence to operate in Ontario’s regulated iGaming sector. The business intends to enter the competitive North American online gambling market later this year with the introduction of its platform, HighRoller.com.
Why is High Roller Technologies targeting Ontario?
High Roller Technologies, headquartered in Nevada, has made a name for itself in regulated international markets under the Fruta and High Roller brands. The business attracted significant attention from investors when it went public on the New York Stock Exchange last year. With a track record of success and an experienced leadership team, High Roller is now seeking to enter the Canadian market.
The government’s gaming monopoly ended in 2022 when Ontario opened its commercial iGaming sector. As a result, online 바카라s and sports betting companies now find great success in Ontario. High Roller Technologies intends to capitalise on these opportunities by entering this industry.
Revenue growth and market expansion
In 2024, Ontario’s regulated iGaming market generated CA$2.3 billion ($1.66 billion) in revenue. By 2025, this figure is expected to increase to CA$3.2 billion ($2.31 billion), according to iGaming Ontario. Ontario’s combination of strong regulation, high consumer demand, and a competitive environment attracts operators like High Roller Technologies, who are looking to expand in sophisticated markets.
In April 2025, Ontario’s iGaming market showed significant growth. The Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) reached CA$313.3 million ($228.1 million), marking a 6 percent increase from March. Total wagers amounted to CA$7.7 billion ($5.61 billion), a 2 percent decrease. The number of player accounts rose by 3 percent to 1,091. Casino GGR was CA$242.8 million ($175.6 million), representing 78 percent of the total. Sports betting GGR increased by 34 percent to CA$64.5 million ($47.1 million), while Poker GGR decreased by 11 percent to CA$5.9 million ($4.29 million).
High Roller’s application for Ontario licence
CEO Ben Clemes confirmed that High Roller Technologies has to enter Ontario’s regulated online gambling market. Pending approval, the company plans to launch in the second half of 2025, promising a significant experience for Ontario’s players.
Clemes stated, “The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online 바카라 product into the market later this year.”
Game portfolio and platform highlights
HighRoller.com will offer a catalogue of over 5,000 games from more than 90 developers, including modern video slots and classic table games. The platform promises fast performance, sleek design, and advanced player engagement tools.
High Roller Technologies has received several prestigious awards, including Casino Operator of the Year at the WN iGaming Summit 2024, iGaming Leader of the Year awarded to CMO Sven Kaltenegger, and 라이브 바카라 바카라er Retention at the SiGMA Europe B2C Awards 2024. These accolades highlight the company’s readiness to make a significant impact in the market.
Canadian expansion plans beyond Ontario
Recently, Alberta passed Bill 48 (iGaming Alberta Act), establishing a new provincial iGaming regulation based on Ontario’s. The Alberta iGaming Corporation will be in charge of licensing and market operations, with regulations expected to be implemented over several months. A market launch is projected by the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026. High Roller is positioned to gain a first-mover advantage in this developing market due to its early interest in Alberta.
