Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Partners With The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission has just entered a brand new partnership. According to Yahoo! Finance, the OLG has started an affiliate marketing deal with the Gateway Casinos & Entertainment.
With this partnership, Gateway will promote various games available with the OLG Online Casino site (also known as OLG.ca), including table games, slot machines, and live dealer games. OLG is also responsible for an online sports betting app in the province, PROLINE+, which will also benefit from Gateway’s affiliate marketing.
The two sides have a history of collaboration, with the OLG involved in the launch of numerous Gateway casino brands in the province such as Casino Rama, Playtime Casino, Cascades Casino, and Starlight Casino.
In addition to these casinos, Gateway is behind popular restaurants like Math Eatery & Public House, Chow Lucky Noodle Bar, and Atlas Steak + Fish. Gateway CEO Tony Santo expressed the benefits of the move, allowing bettors to play OLG.ca games on the go while also planning visits to casinos under the Gateway umbrella.
We are excited to announce a new affiliate marketing agreement with the OLG. The initiative will see Gateway promote OLG’s iCasino slots, tables games, including live casino, as well as its digital sportsbook, PROLINE+, to our customers in Ontario. https://t.co/GAQ2WB97BQ pic.twitter.com/IyWpf2yUAm
