This incident is not the first instance of the AGCO taking stringent action against operators. In August 2023, they imposed a CAD $100,000 fine on Apollo Entertainment for comparable infractions. The message is unambiguous: Ontario is resolute in its commitment to ensuring the safety and responsibility of online gambling activities. <\/p>\n<p>Three internet gaming businesses, LeoVegas, Bunchberry Limited, and Mobile Incorporated Limited, encountered difficulties with the gambling regulatory body. It seems they were providing unauthorized games, meaning there was no assurance of fairness.  Adding to their troubles, some games originated from dubious and unregistered providers.
