June 2025 Ontario Gambling Stats Show Summer Decline is Here

The Ontario online gambling market’s FY25/26-Q1 figures for June 2025 show a month-on-month decline across online Casino, Betting and P2P Poker.

Some reports I’ve read online have attributed the decline to the summer months, which is a fair assessment. However, when I made a comparison with year-on-year figures, wagers for casino, sports and poker have all increased.

Total Wagers across casino, sports betting and online poker reached $7.25 billion in June 2025, which is a record for the month since the iGaming Ontario market first began in 2022.

Stats reported $4.47 billion in June 2023 and $5.98 billion in June 2024. The total year-on-year increase is 21.3% from 2024, and for good measure, it’s a 62% increase from 2023.

The combined NAGGR in June 2025 across all three verticals came in at $306.8 million, up from $231.1 million in June 2024 and $138.9 million in June 2023 ,marking 32.8% year-on-year growth from 2024 and up 120.9% from 2023.

Even with the anticipated summer slowdowncausing month-on-month declines from May’s figures, June 2025 has shown that the overall Ontario iGaming market has recorded record new highs in total wagers and revenue when looking at year-on-year figures.

Source: I used the official iGaming stats, which the authority publishes monthly and gives you access to archives via its iGaming Ontario’s Market Performance Report webpage. The figures in this report represent the stats in the downloadable report.

Online Casino Stats – Y-o-Y Wagers Increase 25%

For online casinos, there is a trend that shows June is down from May.

This year there was an -8% m-o-m decline in wagers, which is slightly higher m-o-m decline compared to -4% in June 2024 and -2% June 2023.

With that being said, June 2024 and June 2023 reported total wagers of $5.08m and $3.8m, respectively. Despite the month-over-month decline in June 2025, wagers are still the highest since Ontario iGaming began, currently recorded at $6.35m, which represents a year-on-year increase of 25%.

Sports Betting Stats – Y-o-Y Wagers Increase 0.3%

Sports wagers in June were also down from May, and a modest increase y-o-y.

The stats show a -21% m-o-m drop, which is a figure higher than the previous year’s June declines, which were -12% in June 2024 and -19% in June 2023.

However, like the casino market, I also noted that in June 2024 and June 2023, total wagers were $766m and $548m, respectively, while in June 2025, they were reported as $768m, representing a modest year-over-year increase of 0.3%.

As for the betting industry’s market share of total wagers placed across casino, poker, and sports in June 2025, sports betting accounted for 11% of all bets place, with a Net Adjusted Gross Gaming Revenue (NAGGR) of $58.4m, taking up 19% of the NAGGR market share for the month.

PvP Online Poker Stats – Y-o-Y Wagers Increase 0.8%

For online poker, there is a trend that shows June is down from May.

This year, there was an -8% month-on-month (m-o-m) decline in wagers, compared to a +1% increase in June 2024 and a +5% rise in June 2023.

With that being said, June 2024 and June 2023 reported total wagers of $131m and $119m, respectively, while despite the m-o-m decline in June 2025, total wagers still reached $132m, which is a slight year-on-year increase of 0.8%.

As for the poker industry’s contribution to Net Adjusted Gross Gaming Revenue (NAGGR), June 2025 generated $5.4m in NAGGR, which is a -15% m-o-m drop from May 2025. This is also down from $4.8 million in June 2024 and $4.9 million in June 2023, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 12.5%.

Poker accounted for 2% of all wagers and 2% of the total NAGGR in June 2025.

Ontario’s Continued Growth

Even in months when the Ontario online gambling market is in decline, regardless of the reasons, the year-on-year growth always seems to produce positive results on a year-over-year basis. It is a market that reminds me of my long upwards Bitcoin investment price trend, obviously without quite so much volatility when you compare the all-time historical growth charts.

Also, it is pretty clear that casino gameplay dominates Ontario as the gambling vertical of choice for wagers, which naturally makes it the most profitable, as we saw from the stats reveal market share across poker, sports betting and casino total wagers and total NAGGR.
