IXUP Limited (“IXUP” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that, in conjunction with its North American partner IC360, it has been awarded an initial 5-year contract to provide an online gambling centralised self-exclusion platform for the Canadian province of Ontario. The contract was awarded to IXUP and IC360, via a recently established special purpose joint venture entity (the Joint Venture), by Ontario’s online gaming government agency, iGaming Ontario, after a highly competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to provide a new state-of-the-art centralised self-exclusion solution (CSE) which will enable the effective self-exclusion of problem gamblers from the Ontario online gambling market. This contract complements IXUP’s existing operation of Australia’s BetStopTM – National Self Exclusion Register, which was developed, deployed and has been successfully operated by IXUP since August 2023, and which has completed over 15 billion self-exclusion checks in the first 11 months of operation. The Ontario CSE will feature IXUP’s world leading secure data collaboration engine. This contract win positions IXUP and IC360 as a leading provider of centralised self-exclusion solutions in the North American market, which is expected to offer a number of similar contract opportunities in the near future.
