The Canadian Gaming Association (CGA) has welcomed two new members this week, one from the online casino sector and another from the consultancy world.

On Wednesday, the CGA announced that gaming and leisure industry consulting firm The Innovation Group has joined the association. On Thursday, it unveiled iGaming provider SkillOnNet as a new member.

The Innovation Group said in a post on its website that it joined the CGA around the time that it attended the Canadian Gaming Summit in June. The company says it specialises in bringing entertainment and hospitality developments to life which consulting services that span the entire concept cycle.

SkillOnNet is a familiar name in the Canadian gaming market as it operates a variety of brands in Ontario’s regulated commercial iGaming market, including PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, SpinGenie and KnightsSlots.

The Malta-based online gaming provider went live in the province in 2022, soon after the Ontario market opened up in April of that year. As well as operating its own brands, it works with a range of big names in the industry such as IGT PlayDigital, with which it struck an agreement in June to offer the operator’s portfolio of more than 3,5000 slot and table games in Ontario.

SkillOnNet also recently extended its content partnership deal with Playtech-owned Swedish casino game studio Quickspin into the province, and added titles from numerous 1X2 Network studios to its slate of games in the province.

In total, SkillOnNet operates more than 30 online casinos in numerous jurisdictions across the globe and also provides turnkey solutions to top brands worldwide. Its platform includes more than 3,500 slots and table games from suppliers such as Games Global, NetEnt, Yggdrasil Gaming, Evolution and Big Time Gaming.

The Innovation Group and SkillOnNet are the latest of a handful of companies to join the CGA this summer.

Swedish gaming supplier Play’n GO signed up in early June, a month after expanding from Ontario into Quebec. Play’n GO works with numerous commercial operators in Ontario and has now added a deal with Loto-Québec to its armoury.

Later in June, B2B gaming technology supplier mkodo joined the CGA roster, and Kiron Interactive became a member in July.
