Who is behind it
Betty Gaming is a startup that builds its casino around women players. Its funding came from venture investors, including Karlani Capital, CEAS Investments and Courtside Ventures. None of them is shown as the controlling owner, and our sources do not publish one.
The brand uses different companies for different parts of Canada. The betty.com site code names Betty Gaming as operator, gives a Toronto contact under the Excelsior name, and states that the Kahnawake Gaming Commission regulates it. Players in Ontario are sent to betty.ca, which Betty Gaming CA Ltd. runs.
Licence and what it means for you
Excelsior Works Ltd. holds an active Client Provider Authorization from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. That body regulates from the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake near Montreal; it is not a provincial regulator. Outside Ontario, players at betty.com therefore rely on Kahnawake rules and complaint routes.
In Ontario the separate betty.ca site follows Ontario rules, and the regulator there has already used its powers, as shown below. Betty has no Finnish licence. In Finland, Veikkaus keeps the exclusive right to online casino games until the new Gambling Act takes effect.
