The Ontario government has recently launched an investigation into the impact of regulatory changes on the daily fantasy industry. The investigation is being conducted by the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services in order to better understand the impact of recent changes to the rules governing the industry.

The daily fantasy industry has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, with many Canadians participating in contests and leagues. However, the industry has also been subject to increased scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers. In 2018, the Ontario government introduced new rules that limited the amount of money that players could wager on daily fantasy contests. The new rules also imposed restrictions on how much money players could win in a single contest.

The investigation is intended to assess the impact of these regulatory changes on the daily fantasy industry. The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services will be conducting interviews with industry stakeholders, including operators, players, and other interested parties. The ministry will also be examining data from the industry to gain a better understanding of how the changes have impacted the industry.

The results of the investigation will be used to inform future policy decisions regarding the daily fantasy industry. The ministry will be looking at how the changes have affected consumer protection, competition, and innovation in the industry. The results of the investigation will also be used to inform future regulations and legislation related to daily fantasy sports.

The Ontario government is committed to ensuring that consumers are protected while also allowing for innovation and competition in the daily fantasy industry. The results of this investigation will provide valuable insight into how regulatory changes have impacted the industry and will help inform future policy decisions.
