Ontario to Venture Into Online Gambling to Rival Offshore Sites
Ontario to Venture Into Online Gambling to Rival Offshore Sites
Published: August 15, 2010
Ontario has dealt its hand and hopes to hit the jackpot by offering its own online gambling. Canada's most populous province plans a "safer and more regulated" Internet gambling option after watching millions of dollars leave the country annually to offshore gaming sites. Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said provincial residents are spending about $400 million a year gambling on these other sites.
"People enjoy gaming," Duncan said as he announced the scheme to be in effect in early 2012 and that will include age and identity verification provisions. Paul Godfrey, head of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., said the agency "needs to be current and to evolve with the changing needs of our customers." Being developed will be a full range of poker and casino-style games along with online lottery ticket sales.
British Columbia's recent move into online gambling is on hold over privacy breaches that let some people bet with others' money and exposed personal information. Canada's Atlantic provinces are also reviewing their options on whether to venture into the online gaming world.
