Bede Gaming has reached a major milestone in its long-term collaboration with the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) with the successful rollout of an upgraded mobile application for OLG.ca.
The transition to a React Native framework represents a massive leap forward in usability and omnichannel performance for over one million monthly users in Ontario.
Technical Efficiency and Omnichannel Performance
The new app architecture is engineered for speed and data efficiency, ensuring high performance even during peak demand periods. By utilizing a single build for all devices, Bede has simplified the operational burden for OLG, reducing maintenance costs while allowing for near-instantaneous updates across all platforms.
The application is fully integrated with OLG’s existing product suite and incorporates GeoLocs technology by mkodo to ensure 100% compliance with Ontario’s strict provincial boundary regulations.
Dave Pridmore, Chief Gaming Officer at OLG, praised the seamless transition:
“We’re delighted with how quickly and efficiently the transition to Bede’s React Native app has been – and the fact there’s been no disruption for our existing OLG.ca players speaks volumes about the impressive teamwork shown on both sides.”
A Future-Proof Mobile Strategy
The launch is part of a broader, phased development plan aimed at refining the user journey through advanced personalization and improved accessibility.
Andrew Humphreys, Chief Product Engineering Officer at Bede Gaming, highlighted the passion behind the project:
“The successful roll-out of our React Native App is testament to Bede’s continued commitment to our partnership with OLG and further proof of the passion we have for providing operational efficiencies to their team. Our flexible and cost-efficient solution will empower OLG to expand their outreach and capabilities in the mobile-first market.”
With the demand for seamless digital experiences growing, the enhanced OLG.ca app positions the provincial lottery as a leader in Canadian digital gaming, ensuring long-term player retention through a frictionless mobile interface.
