Bill 107: Stop Harmful Gambling Advertising Act, 2026

This bill directly affects online gambling operators (iGaming sites) licensed to operate in Ontario and the advertising, marketing, and media agencies they hire to promote their platforms. Operators running sports betting apps, online casinos, and poker sites would no longer be able to run TV commercials, social media ads, podcast sponsorships, stadium signage, or any other promotional activity for their sites in Ontario. Marketing firms, sports teams, broadcasters, and content creators who currently earn revenue from iGaming advertising deals would also lose that business. Size doesn't matter — the prohibition applies equally to large multinational betting companies and smaller niche operators — though the fines scale differently for individuals (up to $100,000) versus corporations (up to $1,000,000), and a second conviction triggers automatic revocation of a supplier's registration.
