The owner of Wildz, Wheelz, Caxino and the streaming brand Spinz is now operational in Canada just weeks after launching in Germany. The four casino brands all run off the Rootz proprietary platform utilising a single account structure.

“Increasing our footprint within regulated markets is in line with a dynamic strategy that seeks to provide innovative gaming solutions to players around the world,” Lasse Rantala, Rootz’s chief executive, said. “Ontario is an important market for us, and we welcome the opportunity provided by AGCO to become a licensed operator and to enter into an operational agreement with iGO.

“Full credit goes to our first-rate teams for the Ontario licencing achievement: as an operator, we prioritise the need for safe, secure and fair play; the strict compliance requirements within regulated markets such as Ontario and Germany will provide peace of mind to our customers that they are enjoying play experiences with a licensed provider.”

Rootz, which is also licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority, launched its first casino, Wildz, in July 2019.

Rootz obtained its German licence from the Sachsen-Anhalt state administration office in September 2022 and went live in November.
