Introduction of New Technology in Ontario

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is a modern regulator, committed to ensuring that gaming is carried out in the Province of Ontario in keeping with the principles of technical integrity, security, accounting capability, and the public interest.

Recognizing that the gaming sector continues to evolve and that the introduction of new technologies provides opportunities for regulated entities in Ontario, the AGCO affirms its desire to address new technologies affecting the gaming sector in an efficient and open manner.

Therefore, where a Supplier or Operator has questions about the application of these Standards to new technologies that seem to fall entirely or in part outside of the Standards, the AGCO is open to engaging with Suppliers or Operators to understand the nature of those technologies and how and whether those technologies can be addressed by existing Standards through their application or through the principles of technical integrity, security, accounting capability, and the public interest.
