Canada's gambling industry contributes billions of dollars of income to the country's economy every year.
The main sources of revenue are land-based casinos, lotteries and online gambling, which has been actively developing since the legalization of iGaming Ontario.
A significant portion of taxes go to health care, education and social programs.
According to statistics, more than 60% of adult Canadians participate in gambling at least once a year.
Technology developments and a transparent regulatory system make Canada one of the most stable and responsible gambling markets in the world.
