PointsBet Canada and Bede Gaming have finalized a multi-year deal to power the operator’s iCasino strategy in Ontario.

In a primary move to solidify its standing in the North American market, PointsBet Canada has officially launched its new casino aggregation and bonusing platform in collaboration with Bede Gaming.

The deal follows a rigorous competitive selection process aimed at identifying a technology partner capable of delivering elite content and sophisticated engagement tools specifically for Canada’s regulated iGaming landscape.

A Specialized iCasino Ecosystem

While PointsBet operates its core brand on a proprietary platform developed by its Australian parent group, the operator sought Bede’s specialized expertise to scale its digital casino vertical. The newly implemented open-API solution provides PointsBet players with immediate access to a massive catalog of world-class titles from suppliers such as Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Games Global, and Light & Wonder.

Beyond mere content delivery, the partnership introduces advanced operational tools designed to boost player lifetime value. These include:

  • Automated Lifecycle Segmentation: Tailoring rewards based on individual player behavior.
  • Flexible Promotion Management: Streamlining the deployment of high-impact marketing campaigns.
  • High-Performance Infrastructure: Bede ensures 99.99% uptime with 24/7 monitoring through its specialized Network Operations Centre.

Executive Vision for the Canadian Market

Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada, highlighted the strategic importance of the rollout:

“Our strategy emphasizes delivering outstanding digital content that creates exceptional player engagement. I’m excited by the innovative tools we now have available with Bede. This partnership positions us strongly in Ontario and prepares us for future growth across additional Canadian markets.”

Colin Cole-Johnson, Bede CEO, echoed this sentiment, focusing on the scalability of the model:

“Our Partnership Model means that we mobilise to support the strategies of our customers, and we’re thrilled to already be demonstrating this through the successful launch of this new casino solution. Bede remains committed to providing stable, secure and pioneering technical solutions to the North American regulated gaming markets.”

The collaboration between Bede Gaming and PointsBet Canada establishes a long-term roadmap for expansion into other provinces, including Alberta, as more Canadian jurisdictions transition toward a private licensing model.
