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 debates on affiliate regulation to deep dives into AI-driven responsible gambling tools, omnichannel strategies, and Canada’s shifting political landscape, the agenda promises critical insights for every corner of the industry.
Regulation, compliance, and political change are taking center stage in 2025 as Canada’s gaming industry faces a pivotal crossroads. With Bill S-269 stalled, new discussions around First Nations partnerships, crypto regulations, and international liquidity, this year’s summit comes at a crucial moment. Panels will dissect Ontario’s evolving framework, explore the future of affiliate regulation, and offer a front-row seat to the biggest policy debates shaping 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 tech innovation will also define competitive advantage in 2025 and beyond. As Canada enforces stricter advertising rules, affiliates and operators are shifting focus toward brand building, content marketing, and organic customer loyalty. Meanwhile, digital wallets, blockchain solutions, and cybersecurity are reshaping the financial and technological backbone of gaming. Whether it’s geolocation compliance or protecting player data, this agenda delivers the tools and insights needed to evolve with confidence.
Whether you’re launching a product, shaping policy, or expanding your footprint in Canada, Canadian Gaming Summit 2025 is the place to shake hands with 3,000 decision-makers, talk strategy with regulators, and find the right partners to level up your business—all under one roof.
