Online gambling is something that simply cannot be ignored any longer, in any country. Several countries have tried to ban online gambling, or at least restrict it to state owned casinos, but these tactics have

mostly failed. Since most of the time these countries are working to ban casinos that are overseas, going after the casinos themselves is next to impossible. These governments instead go after banks and payment processors, which is ineffective at best. People in these countries continue to play at unlicensed online casinos, and these are no slot machines either, we’re talking about $800 million from
Canadian players going overseas last year alone. In other countries the numbers reach into the billions. In Germany it is estimated that about 94% of online gambling is done with illegal foreign casinos. Canada has decided to deal with this issue as the inevitability that it is. A “if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em” attitude has taken shape and now many provinces are starting to set up their own online casinos. This will make sure that since the money is going to be spent anyway, at least some of it will stay in Canada and will be spent at well regulated casinos. British Columbia has already launched their casino and despite a bit of a hiccup at first, it is now doing quite well.
