Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has officially gone live in Ontario’s regulated iGaming market through a new partnership with European operator TonyBet.
TonyBet has integrated with St8’s scalable aggregation platform, allowing it to offer a wide range of titles from leading providers. St8 provides operators with access to content from more than 200 online gaming providers across multiple verticals via its single-API platform. TonyBet also gets access to St8’s bonusing and promotional tools, compliance and licensing solutions, advanced reporting and data capabilities.
The TonyBet agreement is the latest step in St8’s global growth strategy as it continues to expand its presence in regulated iGaming. As well as an Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) license, which it has held since last October, it is approved as a technology supplier in other countries including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Romania and other countries.
“Going live in Ontario is an important milestone for St8 and reflects our continued commitment to growth in regulated markets,” said St8 Chief Executive Officer Vladimir Negine. “Since receiving our Ontario licence, we have focused on building strong local partnerships and delivering a platform that combines scalability, speed and compliance.
“As a respected international brand, TonyBet shares our commitment to building reliable solutions for regulated markets, and we look forward to working closely together as we continue to expand our presence in regulated jurisdictions worldwide.”
Earlier in February, St8 expanded its partnership with gaming supplier Gaming Corps to distribute a broad selection of the company’s content to licensed Ontario operators, including a range of slots, crash, mine, table and plinko games.
TonyBet one of many in Ontario
Latvia-headquartered TonyBet has been licensed in Ontario since 2022, where it competes with around 50 other AGCO-approved iGaming operators as well as the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). It also offers online sports betting and online casino gaming elsewhere in Canada through a Kahnawake Gaming Commission license.
Over the course of its time working as a licensed operator in the province, it has struck multiple sports partnerships, including a multi-year deal with the Canadian Premier League (CPL) soccer league and the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL).
“As we expand our presence in Ontario, it is important for us to work with technology partners that support continued growth while meeting the highest regulatory standards,” added TonyBet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich. “St8’s platform gives us the flexibility to integrate a wide range of content and tools through a single connection, helping us scale smoothly while maintaining a strong focus on player experience.”
