The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation (MSIFN) has criticized the Ontario government’s decision to launch the online gaming market in the province.
On Jan. 29, the provincial government announced that private gaming operators registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) that have executed an operating agreement with AGCO’s subsidiary, iGaming Ontario, can begin offering their games to players across the province starting Apr. 4.
In a released statement, MSIFN chief Kelly LaRocca said that the announcement “is a slap in the face of First Nations and reduces their promises of reconciliation to a joke.”
