Ontario's online casinos delivered spectacularly in October. Wagers climbed 7% month-on-month to $7.88 billion, continuing the upward trend we've seen all year.
The year-over-year view is where things get exciting. October 2024 recorded $6.26 billion, while October 2023 posted $4.44 billion. October 2025's $7.88 billion represents a +26% YoY increase over 2024 and a massive +77% leap from 2023.
Casino NAGGR hit $303.8 million, up 9% MoM and significantly ahead of October 2024's $212.4 million (+43% YoY). Casinos maintain an iron grip on 83% of NAGGR market share and account for 85% of all wagers placed.

After a sluggish summer, sports betting roared back in October 2025 with $1.23 billion in wagers (+16% MoM). This reversal shows the impact of major sports seasons ramping up—NFL and NHL in full swing, NBA tipping off, and college football heating up.
October 2024 recorded $1.06 billion in wagers, while October 2023 stood at $966 million. October 2025's result reflects a solid +17% YoY increase. Revenue climbed to $58.3 million (+25% MoM), outpacing October 2024's $48.4 million. Sports betting now holds 16% of othe verall NAGGR.

Ontario's P2P poker segment hit a speed bump in October 2025, with wagers dropping 9% month-on-month to $131 million. Players may have redirected attention to livelier casino and betting action.
In October 2024, poker wagers totaled $142 million, matching October 2023's $142 million. October 2025's decline represents an –8% YoY drop. Revenue generated $5.6 million (+10% MoM), with poker maintaining 1% of total wagers and 2% of NAGGR—steady but unglamorous. However, we expect the poker side of Ontario's stats to uptick soon, as we recently reported that Ontario is about to join the North American Online Poker Network.
| Year | Total Wagers | MoM / YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| October 2023 | $142m | +7% / – |
| October 2024 | $142m | –3% / 0% |

Ontario's Unstoppable Momentum
October 2025 isn't just another solid month; it's a massive statement. With total wagers exceeding $9 billion and revenue surpassing $360 million, Ontario has firmly established itself as North America's premier regulated iGaming market. Casino gameplay remains king, responsible for 85% of wagers and 83% of revenue. Sports betting is back in beast mode after summer doldrums, and poker continues providing steady returns despite its October dip.
What impresses most isn't just raw growth but the quality. Active accounts are up, ARPPA is holding firm, and we're seeing healthy expansion across verticals. This isn't unsustainable promotion-driven growth; it's a mature ecosystem where players return because the product works. With the holiday season approaching and major sports in full swing, November and December could post even stronger numbers.
