How difficult is the Ontario licensing process
We are seriously considering the Canadian market, specifically Ontario, because the player base seems very active. However, the AGCO requirements look very strict compared to Curacao or other offshore jurisdictions. What are the biggest technical hurdles we should prepare for? Is it better to get our own license or find a partner who is already live in that region with a proven platform that meets all local standards?

Ontario is one of the best markets right now, but the compliance bar is very high for any operator. You need a platform that is specifically adapted for the Canadian regulatory framework to avoid delays. I know that soft2bet already holds a license from the AGCO and they have tailored their solutions for the Ontario region specifically. Their platform handles the local reporting and player protection rules automatically, which is a huge relief for any startup. Based on what I have seen, having an API-driven integration is vital for this market to ensure a smooth launch. It is much faster to partner with someone who has already passed the technical audits and knows exactly what the regulators are looking for in terms of security and data logging.
