A fourth Canadian provincial lottery has joined the Supreme Court appeal against the idea of Ontario being allowed to take peer-to-peer iGaming play across borders. Meanwhile, poker giants Flutter and NSUS have bitten back against the lotteries' claims. canadiangamingbusiness.com/2026/04/08/lot…

PrizePicks can now use NBA intellectual property like logos and some player likenesses for its DFS products. The NBA has made PrizePicks an Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner, an agreement that also allows for "co-marketing efforts" on NBA platforms. sbcamericas.com/2026/04/07/nba…

Maine Gov. Janet Mills may have legalized online casino by leaving that bill unsigned, but her pen has been busy over Easter. Since Friday, Mills has signed bans on sweepstakes gambling, credit cards for OSB & iGaming, and bulk lottery ticket purchasing. sbcamericas.com/2026/04/07/mai…

RGC CEO Sarah McCarthy noted that a priority for the RG fund is to provide “a counterbalance” to operators' gambling advertising. The Canadian Senate has approved a bill to facilitate national restrictions on gambling ads two years in a row. S-211 is at the House committee stage

In case you missed the latest body blow to Canadian horse racing, this time in Ontario: Ottawa’s Rideau Carleton Raceway has ended harness racing after 60+ years. "A sustainable path forward was not possible," said Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa. canadiangamingbusiness.com/2026/04/05/rid…

@GeoffZochodne @GamingNewsCA I had to double check the date on your quoted tweet because that news feels like it was about six months ago. But then so does Monday

FYI: Today is the last day for Canadians to withdraw any funds from PrizePicks, because today is the last day before it shuts down in Canada.
Geoff Zochodne@GeoffZochodne

Per an email to customers, DFS/prediction markets operator PrizePicks says it has "made the difficult decision to pause operations in Canada" as of April 3. No new deposits or lineups will be accepted on or after March 10, funds must be withdrawn by April 2. PP not live in ON.

When Michael Selig said “we’ll see you in court”, he wasn’t kidding. The CFTC has sued three states in federal court in an attempt to "safeguard its exclusive regulatory authority" and defend prediction markets against "overzealous state regulators." sbcamericas.com/2026/04/02/ctf…

The CSA emphasizes that in some Canadian provinces, there is an explicit ban on any "advertising, offering, selling or otherwise trading" of binary options that have a term to maturity of (i.e. resolve within) less than 30 days. "Failure to comply ... may lead to enforcement."

INBOX: The Canadian Securities Administrators and the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization just issued a public notice reminding people to be aware of Canada's requirements around event contracts, "given the growing interest in prediction markets in Canada."

Btw, should probably tell my tiny following on here that my roles at SBC have changed from a senior writer position to Canadian Gaming Business Editor and SBC Americas News Editor. I saved the sincerity and the effort for LinkedIn.

Another great example of the fact that just because something is "banned", as Polymarket currently is in Ontario, it doesn't mean it's not still there. On a related note, prediction markets steam is gathering in Canada (albeit without sports or politics) canadiangamingbusiness.com/2026/03/31/can…

Polymarket promoted on advertising flyers outside the Rogers Centre at a Toronto Blue Jays game. Huh? theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…

Exactly as happened in Massachusetts in September, Kalshi partner Robinhood has sued Washington State officials in federal court immediately after the state sued Kalshi in state court. Robinhood feels it faces "a concrete and imminent threat" from WA. sbcamericas.com/2026/04/01/rob…

Iowa's Senate today approved a bill that would attempt to implement state licensure and taxation for prediction market platforms that offer event contracts on sports, politics, etc. After a 45-1 vote, SF 2470 heads to the House. Iowa adjourns April 21. sbcamericas.com/2026/03/31/iow…

A note from one of the bill's sponsors: "We do not have a clear ability to regulate [prediction markets] at the state level right now… and so we have not taken a direct regulatory action in this." Says that could change, based on federal rule changes or ultimate court rulings.

*The initial version of HB 904 proposed banning sports betting licensees from participating or benefiting from prediction market activity anywhere in the U.S., but that was scaled down in a substitute. The bill also proposes taxing sports prediction markets at 14.25% (= OSB)
