Evoplay has made its first move into Ontario after sealing a partnership with leading operator Rivalry, bringing a curated selection of its slots to the regulated Canadian province. The deal expands the studio’s North American reach and introduces its content to a brand-new audience.
Twenty high-performing titles are now live for Ontario players, including The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy, Hot Triple Sevens, and Hot Volcano. With this launch, Evoplay strengthens its global growth strategy while Rivalry adds premium casino content to its diverse entertainment portfolio.
Ontario launch strengthens Evoplay’s North American footprint
The entry follows Evoplay’s successful approval by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) in March 2025. The licence opened the door for the studio to expand its presence in one of the most dynamic iGaming markets in North America. 
Rivalry, among the first operators licensed in Ontario, offers sports betting, esports, casino, and fantasy products, making it a strong distribution partner for Evoplay’s debut. The collaboration also sets the stage for further expansion in the province as the studio looks to leverage its innovative slot mechanics and engaging themes.
Strong leadership and innovation driving growth
The move comes after Alex Malchenko was named the new Head of Sales at Evoplay, a promotion that reflects the company’s focus on strengthening commercial operations globally.
Malchenko commented:
“Going live in Ontario is a fantastic achievement for us. Integrating our portfolio with Rivalry is an important step in our commercial trajectory, and we are excited to introduce our content to their customers. We have high expectations on Ontario and this is the first step into this exciting and fast-moving market. We are confident that our diverse games offering will resonate with local players.”
Strategic collaborations shaping Evoplay’s trajectory
This latest partnership builds on Evoplay’s broader strategy of entering new regulated markets and expanding its network of distribution partners. Earlier this year, the studio joined forces with First Look Games to amplify global affiliate reach, further enhancing visibility and strengthening its marketing impact.
Steven Salz, CEO at Rivalry, added:
“Our goal is to deliver the most entertaining and differentiated casino experience in Ontario. Partnering with Evoplay allows us to introduce high-quality, innovative content, that will resonate with our players and keep them coming back. We feel honoured to be the first operator to offer Evoplay’s titles in Ontario and look forward to a successful partnership.”
