TORONTO - Ontario's regulated internet gaming market has been live now for two years, and it is attracting increasing activity from the province's online gamblers, a new study suggests, with blackjack and basketball among the favourite wagers.

“Participants named over 350 unregulated websites they have used, which highlights how many illicit betting options can be accessed by Ontarians and the importance of continued efforts to shift players to Ontario's safer and legal gaming options,” the AGCO wrote in a press release. Casino games, including slots and bingo, are the largest segment by far, with about 82 per cent of the wagers among iGaming Ontario operators, the agency said.

Peer-to-peer poker is the smallest category, iGaming Ontario said, though it still saw more than $1.5 billion in total wagering in this past year.
