More job cuts at theScore as Canadian gaming industry gets together
As the Canadian gaming industry gathers this week, 75-plus PENN workers are out of a job as our an expected 25% of the workforce at Gambling.com Group. We tee up the summit and BetGuard goes live.
When folks across all facets of the Canadian gaming industry gather this morning on the second floor of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (more on the SBC Summit Canada lower in this dispatch), it will be a celebration of sorts.
After all, Ontario’s competitive online gambling market is now four years old and we expect to see more operators coming on board (including Hard Rock Bet). iGaming Ontario last week launched its long-awaited centralized self-exclusion program to much praise. The much-ballyhooed arrival of a competitive gaming industry in Alberta is scheduled to happen July 13. The provincial lottery and gaming corporations across our home and native land are doing quite well, thank you very much. And we continue to see partnerships between operators and technology/data/product/payments/etc., suppliers, including the recent one between the presenting sponsors of this destination for news, notes and quotes, and PointsBet Canada.
The latest job cuts, including last week with PENN and Gambling.com Group, will no doubt be part of the conversations at the conference over the next two days. Reporting from a few media outlets pegged the number of layoffs at PENN property theScore at more than 75. Gaming News Canada attempted to confirm that number, but Gordon Stevenson, who handled communications for the operator’s Canadian business, was among the people losing their jobs. There’s been no official confirmation from PENN about the layoffs, and two emails to the company’s communications chief from GNC haven’t received a response. We have seen several LinkedIn posts from now former employees of theScore and journalist John Matisz posted this on his X account late last week.
TheScore founder John Levy, speaking with Gaming News Canada earlier this month, lamented the ongoing job cuts including almost a year ago - just after the Canadian conference - when 75 positions were eliminated at the operator’s Toronto office followed by the majority of the Toronto-based esports team being let go last November.
“They’ve cut, cut and cut because they promised profitability,” said Levy. “If you’re cutting everything, what’s your future?”
In January, PENN eliminated the chief information officer and vice president of operations roles. Flutter Entertainment created a stir throughout the North American gaming industry this month when it parted ways with FanDuel CEO Amy Howe.
Gambling.com Group, owners of the OddsJam, OpticOdds and RotoWire brands, announced in its latest financial results that the company’s growing use of artificial intelligence is the catalyst for cutting 25% of its workforce. Gaming company IGT, after completing a merger with Everi, announced in March it would be trimming 700 people or 10% of its global employees.
At the beginning of the year, global video game company Ubisoft shut down its Halifax studio, eliminating 71 positions.
The ever-increasing use of AI and the dynamic presence of prediction markets will undoubtedly continue to have an impact on the U.S. gambling industry, which will likely have a domino effect on what happens here in the true north strong and free. Alberta’s opening could provide a lifeline, especially for workers at companies that set up shop in the new western Canada market.

Setting the table for the SBC Summit Canada
Ladies and germs, let the show begin.
Beginning this Wednesday morning and for the next 36 hours, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre will be the epicentre of the Canadian gaming industry. Some 3,000-plus folks from all sectors of the business of sports betting and online gaming are expected to descend on the city below Schomberg for the rebranded SBC Summit Canada.
Among the topics expected to be front and centre – and which will be the focus for many of the thirtysomething panels and fireside chats over the team days – are online gambling advertising, cybersecurity, technology, compliance, responsible gaming and player protection, First Nations and land-based casinos, affiliates, the upcoming men’s World Cup of footy.
And. . . of course. . . Alberta.
While Dale Nally won’t be able to tout another lengthy playoff run for the Edmonton Oilers when he steps up to the microphone at about 10:50 ET this morning, the minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction will deliver words that go beyond promises of a legal, open gaming market. Just in case you’ve been stranded on a deserted island, Alberta is scheduled to go live on July 13. As of May 15, some 28 operators – including 16 of Ontario’s 44 licensed operators – have registered for a licence to thrill in the western Canada province.
Dan Keene, the CEO of Alberta iGaming Corporation and who we’re told will be accompanied by a sizeable contingent of fellow AiGCers, will join Martin Lycka on stage at 4:30. Lycka, who recently joined Oddin.gg, will interview Keene for an episode of the second-most popular podcast in the gaming business, The Safe Bet Show (your humble host of the Gaming News Canada Show typed this with tongue embedded in his cheek. . . .). A robust roster of speakers – FanDuel’s Tom Burdakin, Jennifer Aguiar from DraftKings, legal beagle Ron Segev, bet365 guy Andrew Moreno and Soft2Bet exec Harrison Barrett – will weigh in on Alberta at 11:30.
Stan Cho, the Ontario minister for Tourism, Culture & Gaming, will kick off the proceedings Thursday morning. We’re wondering if the minister will have an update from his appearance at the summit a year ago when he announced there would be a review of the province’s regulated gaming industry, now 49 months and 16 days old.
You can follow the happenings from the Summit on the Gaming News Canada X account and read about the highlights in next week’s dispatch.
Alberta’s move to a regulated iGaming model on the 13th July of this year represents a significant step forward for Canada’s digital gaming market, setting clear expectations for robust identity verification, fraud prevention and compliance from day one.
As the market takes shape, you can be confident you’re working with a proven partner. We already support more than 65% of licensed operators in Ontario, helping them meet FINTRAC‑compliant KYC requirements at scale, without compromising speed or player experience.

iGaming Ontario hits the On button for its centralized self-exclusion program
If Joseph Hillier and the rest of the gang at iGaming Ontario have their way, going live with the long-awaited self-exclusion platform for the province’s legal sports betting and igaming operators - and most importantly, their customers - is the beginning of providing player protection across the regulated gambling sector.
Registering on BetGuard was available six days ago and having gone through the process ourselves, we agree that signing up for an account is pretty darn simple. While the tool is only available at this juncture for iGO’s 44 licensed operators and OLG’s online gaming product, Hillier is hopeful to expand that accessibility
“The goal of this system is to have it applied to all forms of gambling in the province,” Hillier, iGO’s president and CEO, said during a media conference/demo of the new tool before its launch. That could/would include land-based and charitable gaming, and perhaps horse racing although, as Hillier reminded us, the sport of kings is regulated federally.
Canadian Gaming Association president/CEO Paul Burns concurs.
“Universal self-exclusion is the most useful way to have this tool utilized,” said Burns, who also gave two thumbs-up to BetGuard.
“The process has gone well and the technology works well. We’ve been working closely with iGO since the RFP (was issued in 2024) to make sure it happens in a way that was effective and efficient for operators. These are good tools to have.”
One conversation we had with an industry type last week referenced the importance of operators making BetGuard accessible to their customers. We opened up a couple of apps yesterday and found the BetGuard link prominently displayed.
On the OLG digital platform, however, we had to scroll to the bottom of its home page to find a mention of BG.
As Responsible Gambling Council boss Sarah McCarthy pointed out, BetGuard delivers a much-needed one-stop shop for people concerned about their gambling habit to stop playing on all regulated sites in Ontario.
“BetGuard fundamentally changes that dynamic,” said McCarthy. “It strengthens the availability of operators to meet the high evidence-based benchmarks we set through our RG Check program.”
Hillier emphasized that the BetGuard tool isn’t a “silver bullet” to provide blanket protection to players. “You’ll hear more on how we can lean in further on responsible gaming.”
When Alberta launches its regulated market this summer, it’s expected to have a cross-the-board self-exclusion product in place on Day 1. Burns told us that the province is on schedule with the tool, which will be available to land-based casinos there.
GNC is waiting for a response to our email request yesterday to iGO’s communications department about how many BetGuard registrations there have been over the first week.
Online gaming continues to drive PointsBet revenue in Ontari-ari-ari-o
During our conversation with Scott Vanderwel on last week’s episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, the chief executive officer of PointsBet Canada addressed the operator’s evolution of its Ontario business to deliver a more robust online gaming product. That has included the hiring of Brooke Hilton in October 2023 as head of casino and new partnerships, such as the latest one with Bede Gaming.
That investment appears to be paying dividends. In its 2026 financial report, released last week, the growth of the Ontario operation helped soften the blow from a revenue decline with its business in Australia.
Revenue here was $34.6 million, a spike of 13% over the previous fiscal year. Net winnings from igaming grew 28% with slots leading the way for improved gross net win.
And yes, PointsBet Canada is among the operators preparing to do business in Alberta.
Redlick to lead new-look Canadian Addiction Recovery Association
The Canadian Addiction Recovery Association (CARA) has a new leader and new tools to lend a hand to its work to support problem gambling programs.
Harley Redlick, who has been involved in the gaming industry for an awfully long time as a bettor, media personality, consultant - and, with Don Bourgeois, co-founding the Gambling Law Certificate Program at Osgoode Hall, announced on the LinkedIn late last week his new role as CARA’s executive director. Yesterday, the association announced it has acquired “all gaming-related platforms and assets” from the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation (CACCF). The acquistion includes the federation’s Pathways to Prevention, Education and Treatment program.
“We are excited to take on the role of working with gaming industry associations, participants and regulatory bodies across Canada to create effective pathways to treatment for those affected by gambling addiction,” said Redlick.
According to the news release announcing the acquisition, CARA will expand its “leadership role in responsible gaming and gambling addiction recovering services across Canada”. The three-year-old association was established to provide employee assistance programs around addiction to corporations.
“CARA’s focus on both technology and helping those faced with gambling addiction makes them uniquely qualified to carry on the CACCF’s work in this area,” said federation executive director Douglas Brewer. “For the CACCF, this allows our organization to return to its roots as the ‘gold standard’ in addiction counsellor certification in Canada, including the delivery of national gambling and gaming-specific training and certification programs.”
In an interview with Gaming News Canada, Redlick emphasized CARA doesn’t provide treatment for problem gambling but complements existing initiatives such as Connex Ontario and iGaming Ontario’s new BetGuard platform. The CACCF’s technology, Redlick told us, includes the use of artificial intelligence for immediate access to a customer service representative for someone struggling with their gambling.
“Because of the technology, the response is catered to that person’s needs,” Redlick said. “It’s Step 1 in that pathway to treatment.”
He then added, “I like BetGuard because self-exclusion is required. (But) self-exclusion doesn’t help me get better, and doesn’t prevent me from pulling up my wife’s (sportsbook/online gaming) account.”
In his new role, Redlick will be pushing for CARA to receive funding from the tax revenue being delivered by Ontario’s legal gambling industry. He said the association is also interested in installing kiosks in “safe space” rooms at Ontario casinos. That could include collaborating with OLG and its PlaySmart centres at casinos across the province.
“We would love those (CARA) kiosks there,” Redlick said.
Gaming News Canada Show gives sneak peak to summit panel
On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, we provided an opportunity to one of the panels on Day 1 of the SBC Summit Canada to do a dry run of sorts.
Andrew Garven (Bet99), Tyler Amirault (Hot Takes), Calvin Konya (Linemate) and former Game Lounge executive Keith Geary joined host Steve McAllister to discuss the changing affiliates landscape in the gaming industry (with a special focus on what’s happening in Ontario, and soon, Alberta).
