Kambi Assumes OLG Sports Betting Role

The FDJ confirmed Kambi's selection in 2025 to take over as OLG's long-term sports betting partner, pending specific conditions. With the conditions now fulfilled, Kambi has officially taken over the provision of sports betting services for OLG's retail and digital platforms.

OLG launched its Kambi-powered sportsbook on January 27, marking a significant milestone in this partnership. OLG operates sports betting through PROLINE in retail and PROLINE+ online, ensuring that all profits are reinvested back into Ontario. With Kambi's advanced Turnkey Sportsbook technology, OLG aims to enhance its betting offerings and provide a compliant, engaging experience for players.
