Lisa Gretzky, a local councillor for Windsor West, recently urged the Ontario government to put the launch of a new iGaming market on hold. Mr. Gretzky is concerned that the introduction of the new system could have a fatal impact on the real casino industry, as many properties have yet to collect all of their employees.
Ontario’s gaming and sports betting market is set to begin on April 4, 2022, and the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation recently announced a study on expansion. According to it, a new market’s 20% tax on total gaming revenue would put land-based casinos at risk, as it would put them in a difficult situation with higher taxes.
Mr. Gretzky agrees with the gaming giant and asks that the market be put on hold for a while until all track and field gaming facilities summon all their employees. She says Indigenous leaders, workers, unions, the Chamber of Commerce and Ontario mayors are urging the state not to start the iGaming market without confidence that thousands of employees will be summoned immediately.
Windsor West’s MPP also added that land casinos must pay 55% of their net gambling revenue to the Ontario Treasury. That is, billions of Canadian dollars are spent on publicly funded payments to healthcare, education, infrastructure and municipalities. And the introduction of the iGaming offering could hit these numbers.
According to Unifore, the largest U.S. labor union, about 1,000 local casino workers will lose their jobs. The union’s concern is that with iGaming dominating the gambling industry, many of those positions will never be recalled. First Nation Indigenous leaders who run the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Tribal Casino also said they hoped the launch would be delayed.
An economic review of the potential impact of the iGaming market by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation suggested that the Ontario government should expect to reduce land-based taxes by $3 billion over the next five years. In addition, he pointed out that more than 2,500 game-related jobs will be lost over the next five years.
Chris McDonald, an aide to Unifore’s national chairman Jerry Diaz, said he does not yet know how many operators will be able to enter the market, but the union expects job losses and an unbalanced competition when the market begins this spring.
In response to the warning, many supporters argue that the legalization of online casino sites will only attract players from overseas websites. Meanwhile, Ontario continues to approve operators, as it most recently licensed Rush Street Interactive. Companies that have already provided the BetRivers app as a free play version will be able to offer incontinence options.
