If Unibet ultimately decides to run an exclusive site for Ontario, those playing on its global platform can choose to migrate over to the new site. <\/p>\n<p>Unibet also has a presence in the US, though the company is more focused on its sportsbook which is currently operating in <em>New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Virginia, Arizona and Indiana<\/em>. The operator obtained its license from the <strong>Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario<\/strong> (AGCO) last week. <\/p>\n<p>RSI, which is known for its online casino and sportsbook operation, recently expanded its product portfolio by acquiring Galfond\u2019s Run It Once and the site\u2019s development team in a deal worth $5.8 million. <\/p>\n<p>Less than a week after the acquisition was announced, RSI received its iGaming operator license from AGCO. The company is working to comply with any remaining regulatory requirements, with BetRivers expected to launch in Ontario on April 4. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"total-number-of-ontario-igaming-licensees-jumps-to-13\">Total Number of Ontario iGaming Licensees Jumps to 13<\/h2>\n<p>Unibet and RSI could ultimately launch their respective online poker operations in the province, though both have yet to announce their plans. <\/p>\n<p>The other operators that have recently been granted licenses include <strong>FanDuel, Coolbet, Royal Panda, Fitzdares and LeoVegas<\/strong>.
