Maverick Games has permanently closed its Ontario online gaming platform, ending gaming, wagering and deposits in the province. The operator’s website no longer provides a player login, bringing its remaining casino service to an end after its sportsbook had already shut.
The closure notice, reported by RG.org, told customers with outstanding balances or pending withdrawals that payouts were being processed in accordance with regulatory requirements. Players were instructed to contact the company by email with their full name and registered username. Maverick Games did not provide a date for payments or state why it had closed.
The company had operated as an Ontario-licensed online casino and sportsbook and marketed itself as “Ontario’s Local Casino and Sportsbook.” Its sportsbook closed on Sept. 16, while casino games and player accounts remained active at that point. The final shutdown therefore ended services that had initially been unaffected by the withdrawal of sports betting.
Maverick Games also directed customers to ConnexOntario, which offers free and confidential support around the clock at 1-866-531-2600.
Ontario’s regulated online gaming market operates through iGaming Ontario, which contracts with private operators, while the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario registers operators and suppliers. The market opened in April 2022.
Casino.org reported in April that Conquestador, Casumo, Rivalry, Fitzdares, Unibet, Betiton and MagicRed Casino were among operators leaving Ontario at various points. Conquestador said its own April closure was a business decision and not related to regulatory, compliance or legal issues.
The report listed 46 licensed operators and 80 websites in Ontario, based on the latest iGaming Ontario data at that time. Ontario recorded C$8.7 billion in cash wagers and C$342 million in online gaming revenue in February, with nearly 1.3 million active players. Those market-wide figures predate Maverick Games’ closure and do not establish a reason for it.
