Ontario lottery launches GTECH-driven website

OLG’s Internet gaming site offers interactive casino games including slots and table games such as Blackjack, Baccarat, single-player Poker, and Roulette, as well as the sale of lottery tickets.

As OLG’s Primary Service Provider for PlayOLG, GTECH is providing its award-winning product portfolio, player services, and its Player Account Management system to OLG via its Gaming Management System (GMS). GMS provides operators with player protection and responsible gambling features, as well as a complete view of the interactive player.

“GTECH’s solution supports OLG’s plan to become a more innovative and sustainable organization, while continuing to be a North American leader in Responsible Gambling,” said Matteo Monteverdi, GTECH Senior Vice President of North America Interactive, and SVP of iGaming. “Our flexible and innovation solutions will meet OLG’s goals, and will adhere to the highest standards of responsible gambling and player protection."

"With the launch of PlayOLG, OLG joins seven other Canadian provinces in offering provincially regulated, safe Internet gaming," said John Wisternoff, Vice President of iGaming at OLG. “GTECH’s solution provides a safe, secure, regulated and entertaining Internet gaming option in Ontario, with profits supporting initiatives like health care and community infrastructure for the benefit of all Ontarians."

Canadian law requires all gaming operations to be conducted and managed by provincial governments or their agencies, making PlayOLG the only option for Internet gaming that is regulated by the government of Ontario.
