Fitzdares, the UK-based luxury sportsbook and casino operator, has announced it will be exiting the Ontario market, with operations winding down by March 31, 2025. The company made the decision after two years of service in the region, citing challenges in the competitive Ontario market. A statement on the company’s Ontario website reads: “After serving our customers in Ontario for the past two years, we have taken the difficult decision to exit the Ontario market.
Fitzdares Ontario will be ceasing operations effective midnight on March 31, 2025. Thank you for being a Fitzdares customer and for trusting us with your business.”No Bonuses Issued After March 3Fitzdares added a series of key dates for users to note, including the fact that bonuses will no longer be issued after March 3.
Similarly, account deposits will cease after 11:59 p.m. on March 10, with the exception of CA$5 (US$3,48) deposits, which will remain available for customers needing to top up their accounts for withdrawals below the minimum threshold.
From March 24 at 11:59 p.m., no new bets will be accepted, and the final opportunity to withdraw funds will be March 31, 2025.
Unsuccessful Expansion Beyond the UKEntering the regulated Ontario market in 2023 with high hopes, Fitzdares aimed to bring its premium, luxury gaming experience to Canada. The company, founded in 1882 in the UK by Balthazar Fabricius, has long prided itself on offering exceptional customer service and a traditional, high-end bookmaker .
