FanDuel runs a regulated online casino, sportsbook and poker site for players in Ontario, registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and under an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. Flutter Entertainment owns it. In January 2026 the AGCO ordered it to pay C$350,000, saying it failed to spot and report 144 suspicious table tennis bets it took in 2024. FanDuel says it did report them.

Who runs FanDuel in Ontario
The Ontario operator is FanDuel Canada ULC. Its parent, Flutter Entertainment, also owns PokerStars, Paddy Power, Betfair and, since April 2025, Italy's Snaitech. Flutter bought Boyd Gaming's 5% stake in FanDuel in a deal that closed on July 31, 2025. Flutter's 2025 annual report calls that 100% ownership, subject to Fox's option to buy 18.6% of FanDuel, which runs to December 3, 2030.
What it offers
iGaming Ontario lists three FanDuel sites: FanDuel Casino (casino.fanduel.ca), FanDuel Sportsbook (on.sportsbook.fanduel.ca) and FanDuel Poker (poker.fanduel.ca). FanDuel Poker, also called PokerStars on FanDuel, replaced PokerStars' Ontario site, which stopped play on May 7, 2026. The new room opened in June 2026 on Playtech's iPoker software. Old PokerStars accounts didn't move across (Pokerfuse). We haven't tested deposits or withdrawals.
We don't list FanDuel's offers. In Ontario, operators may show bonus offers only on their own site or to players who have agreed to receive them (AGCO Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming, standard 2.05).
FanDuel's AGCO record
On January 8, 2026 the AGCO said it had ordered FanDuel Canada ULC to pay C$350,000. Between October 23 and November 30, 2024, FanDuel accepted 144 bets from three Ontario player accounts on Czech Table Tennis Star Series matches. The AGCO listed the warning signs: abrupt shifts in wagering, bets on losing athletes, a near-perfect win rate, and synchronized betting across linked accounts. It said the betting went on for several weeks, after earlier industry warnings about the series. FanDuel said it was “disappointed” and that its monitoring made it “the only operator to proactively identify, investigate and report this suspicious activity” (Covers, January 8, 2026).
| Bets accepted | 144 |
|---|---|
| Player accounts | Three, all in Ontario |
| Matches | Czech Table Tennis Star Series |
| Dates | October 23 to November 30, 2024 |
| Penalty | C$350,000, ordered January 8, 2026 |
The AGCO cited standard 4.32, controls to identify and report unusual or suspicious betting, and standard 1.13, being open with the Registrar and reporting incidents. FanDuel had 15 days to appeal to the Licence Appeal Tribunal. We found no report of an appeal (checked November 9, 2026).
C$350,000 is the largest AGCO penalty on an online betting operator that we found. InGame called it the biggest fine on a sports betting operator in Canada since single-event betting became legal in 2021. The next largest we found is theScore Bet's C$200,000 in October 2026, then PointsBet's C$150,000 in 2023. Betty (C$120,000), NorthStar (C$100,000) and Booming Games (C$70,000) were also lower (InGame, casin.com news).
What Ontario's rules give you
Ontario's rules promise players at licensed sites that offers are achievable as shown and that nobody under 19 may play. Slots can't auto-play, there must be a minimum time between spins, and no feature may disguise a loss as a win.
A dispute goes to the operator first: use its formal complaints process and allow it up to 90 days to decide. If that doesn't resolve it, you can complain to the AGCO through iAGCO, quoting the operator's complaint reference number. The AGCO can penalize the operator, but it can't get your money back. Complaints about responsible gambling or advertising can go to the AGCO directly.
casin.com verdict
Suits Ontario players who want a casino, a sportsbook and poker from one regulated brand.
The 2026 penalty is about spotting match-fixing in sports betting. It isn't about casino payouts or how FanDuel treats casino players, and the AGCO didn't say any player lost money through it.
Outside Ontario, check that province's list. Alberta's has FanDuel Casino and FanDuel Sportsbook (checked November 9, 2026).
Not for players outside Ontario and Alberta, or for a former PokerStars Ontario player hoping to keep an old account.
