OBA Entertainment, Media and Communications Law PROGRAM
12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

Ontario’s iGaming approach has dramatically altered the trajectory of gambling in Canada, survived a legal challenge, and inspired a Senate bill that would create a national framework for sports betting advertising. It has also generated enough revenue to rank Ontario as the 6th largest iGaming market in the world. As the Ontario market stabilizes, and other provinces consider adopting a similar approach, it is important to stay ahead of the key legal and regulatory developments shaping the Canadian gambling industry. Join our expert panel as they explore the current framework and evolving regulatory landscape, with a focus on:

• Introducing you to the federal laws shaping Ontario's approach to iGaming.
• Providing you with an overview of Ontario's iGaming framework and unique characteristics.
• Identifying the legal and regulatory successes and challenges in the Ontario market.
• Discussing the marketing and advertising rules, including rules and restrictions related to celebrities and entertainers.
• Examining the future of gambling marketing and advertising, including free play advertising and Bill S-269 National Framework on Advertising for Sports Betting Act.
• Future trends and developments in iGaming and sports betting.
