Ontario iGaming operators produced $313.3 million in total non-adjusted gross gaming revenue (NAGGR), a 6% month-over-month rise.
It's the second highest monthly NAGGR total Ontario generated after January 2025 and much higher than the $250 million from April 2024.
Key takeaways
- Ontario iGaming operators generated $313.3 million in NAGGR.
- Sports betting NAGGR increased by 34% month-over-month, while casino NAGGR rose by 1%.
- Despite the NAGGR increase, cash wagers decreased by 2% month-over-month.
The iGaming Ontario report covers three verticals: sports betting, casino, and player-to-player poker. Casino has the most dominant NAGGR market share, covering 78% of April 2025's total and generating $242.8 million, a 1% month-over-month rise.
Ontario online sports betting saw the most significant NAGGR rise, with a 34% month-over-month increase. April 2025's $64.5 million also rose from April 2024's $56.7 million. Player-to-player poker saw an NAGGR month-over-month decrease, falling by 11%. However, the $5.9 million generated only accounted for 2% of market share.
Ontario active monthly players continue to rise
While it doesn’t directly correlate to revenue performance, the number of active monthly players is a handy metric for indicating Ontario's strong iGaming market. Signs are positive for the province, as April 2025 continued a trend of active players reaching above one million starting in November 2024.
April saw the third-highest number of active players in Ontario history at over 1.09 million.
Cash spent on gambling drops amid revenue increase
While Ontario iGaming income figures were positive, there was a 2% month-over-month drop in gambling spending. Despite the most significant NAGGR increase, Ontario online sports betting took a major hit, with a 10% month-over-month spending drop. Still, wagers still crept over $1 billion. Sports betting only accounted for 14% of all wagers in April 2025.
Meanwhile, casinos had a larger share of cash wagers at 84%, but the overall $6.5 billion spending was a 1% drop from March 2025. Player-to-player also saw a wager decrease, falling 2% and only covering 2% of the market.
April's spending drop is disappointing, considering it’s the start of a new fiscal year for Ontario’s iGaming numbers. The province reported a 31% year-over-year gambling increase in the last fiscal year, but it will need better performances than April's to continue that trend.
