British Bookmaker Fitzdares to Open in Toronto

Fitzdares, the British bookmaker that has been taking bets since 1882, will have a North American launch in the coming weeks with the opening of an Ontario operation. Fitzdares received its iGaming Operator Registration from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) this month. Subject to final approvals, Fitzdares will be one of the first sports betting and iCasino operators to have its registration approved by the AGCO. Canada will join the United Kingdom and Ireland to become the third country where Fitzdares operates real-money online gaming.

“We are truly excited to be launching the Fitzdares experience in Ontario in the coming months,” said Fitzdares CEO William Woodhams. “Receiving our AGCO licence is a landmark achievement for the business. There will be huge competition in this newly regulated market, but we feel our more premium and customer-focused experience will be an ideal fit.”

The Toronto Fitzdares Club–a members' club, similar to ones in London's Mayfair district and in Cheltenham–will open its doors in Toronto next year. Prospective members in Ontario may preregister their interest and receive launch updates at Fitzdares.ca.
