Council to Vote on Sports Betting Revenue Share

Sarnia city leaders are weighing a new revenue boost tied to sports betting at Gateway Casinos on London Line. At a meeting today, council will vote on a proposal to secure a direct four percent share of all sports betting profits generated at the site, including sportsbook operations and betting kiosks. The change builds on an existing agreement with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and could bring in new funds for local projects. If approved, city officials will finalize and sign the updated deal.
