The iGaming market in Ontario is expected to be one of the largest in North America, which makes it a truly interesting proposition for Kindred.” “Ontario is full of sports teams and passionate fans, which is no surprise given the history and popularity of the NHL, NBA and MLB leagues. What makes Ontario unique is that thanks to its multicultural population matches within for example soccer, rugby, tennis, curling, and cricket are easily found.
