The Canadian Gaming Summit 2025 is set to take over Toronto’s Metro Convention Centre from June 17–19, with an ambitious agenda built around the industry’s most pressing questions.
Will international liquidity return to Ontario? Will Alberta finally open its market? Can AI keep players safe? With over 150 industry-leading speakers, the event will shine a spotlight on the most important developments across regulation, compliance, responsible gambling, advertising and affiliation, payments, cybersecurity, and innovation.
With six conference tracks, the 2025 edition brings clarity to complexity by covering the full scope of the Canadian gaming landscape and spotlighting the most relevant topics in leadership, player protection, sports betting and casino, advertising and affiliation, payments and compliance, and cybersecurity.
From discussions of affiliate regulation to in-depth explorations of AI-powered responsible gambling solutions, omnichannel approaches, and Canada’s evolving political climate, the agenda delivers essential insights for every corner of the sector.
Regulation, compliance, and political reform are front and center in 2025 as Canada’s gaming industry stands at a critical crossroads. With Bill S-269 at a standstill, new debate regarding First Nations alliances, crypto rules, and global liquidity, this year’s summit coincides with the right moment. Panels will unpack Ontario’s developing framework, consider the future of affiliate regulation, and provide front-row seating for the most pivotal policy debates redefining Canadian gaming.
Player protection and responsible gambling are no longer side conversations—they’re front and center. The summit’s dedicated Player Protection Symposium will dive deep into AI-powered player support tools, the effectiveness of self-exclusion programs, and new, positive approaches to reinforcing healthy gaming behavior. As technology advances, so does the industry’s responsibility to protect players, and this year’s sessions will equip attendees with the strategies and data to do just that.
Canada’s market is growing fast, but so are the challenges of differentiation and sustainability. With Alberta potentially opening its iGaming market and new momentum behind women’s sports betting, this year’s Sports Betting & Casino track explores where the next wave of growth will come from. Sessions on micro-betting, omnichannel integration, and the potential comeback of Daily Fantasy Sports will challenge operators to rethink their product offerings and user engagement strategies.
Marketing, payments, and technology will also form dimensions of competitive advantage in 2025 and beyond. Canadians will have stricter advertising for product providers, but affiliates and operators are responding with brand awareness and building, and content marketing to develop organic customer retention. In the meantime, digital wallets, blockchain technologies, and enhanced cybersecurity now form the new financial and technological backdrop of gaming.
