The Board of Directors of iGaming Ontario has announced the appointment of Joseph Hillier as the organization’s new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective September 8, 2025.
Hillier brings a strong background in the Ontario igaming market, along with extensive leadership experience across both the public and private sectors.

The iGaming Ontario Board stated it looks forward to working with Hillier as he leads the organization to further strengthen Ontario’s igaming market. His priorities will include implementing an anti-money laundering system for operators and developing a centralized self-exclusion platform for players across the province.
The Board also extended its gratitude to David Smith, who has been serving as Interim President and CEO since the retirement of Martha Otton.
