iGaming Ontario publishes March market performance report
Most of Ontario’s iGaming numbers rose in March after falling in February. The Ontario market performance report for March was posted by iGaming Ontario this month. In February almost all of the numbers were lower than they were in January. The number of active players accounts was the only number to go up in February. The numbers from iGaming Ontario’s latest market performance report for March suggest that the Ontario market has bounced back slightly.
Monthly cash wagers and non-adjusted gross gaming revenue(NAGGR) in Ontario was higher in March than in February and January. For March, Ontario reported $7.9 billion in cash wagers, an increase from $7.12 billion in February and $7.8 billion in January. The casino had the most wagers with $6.6 billion in wagers. Ontario players wagered about $1.1 billion on betting. The betting numbers include sports, Esports, proposition bets, novelty bets, and exchange betting.

NAGGR also went up in March. iGaming Ontario reported $295 million NAGGR for the month. That number was $280 million in February. NAGGAR represents total cash wagers, including rake fees, tournaments fees, and other fees minus player winnings derived from cash wagers. NAGGR doesn’t take into account operating costs or other liabilities.

Average revenue per active player account (ARPPA) increased as well. ARPPA was $278 in March, up from $248 in February. ARPPA in January was the highest so far this year at $297. Although ARPPA went up last month, the number of active player accounts in Ontario went down for the first time since August of 2024. The number of active player accounts in Ontario was 1.06 million for March 2025. The number of active player accounts was 1.12 million in February.
All of the Ontario numbers except active player accounts declined in February. This month, some of the numbers were higher than in the first month of the year. That is an indication that the Ontario market is recovering from February. The next market performance report that is published by iGaming Ontario should provide more insight into the Ontario market. The numbers in March were bigger for the betting sites.
