The Next Step for Canadian iGaming
September 30, 2013 – Canadian Gaming Business
|
In Canada, we expect to welcome another provincial lottery corporation, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, online in 2014. There is an absolute need to have governments involved with iGaming sites as they play an important regulatory role in setting standards and offering a safe and secure environment for players who wish to try online gaming.
But what about the thousands of Canadians who have offshore accounts? Anecdotal evidence does not suggest they will simply migrate over to a lottery corporation’s iGaming site. The big operators effectively launched this industry and have been in business for a decade or longer, and have a very loyal player base.
Here’s a thought for consideration: reputable offshore operators are willing to seek licenses in jurisdictions that offer them, and we at the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) submit that partnering with those operators via a licensing system is better public policy that simply pretending they don’t exist.
If we use Ontario as an example, H2 Gambling Capital has forecasted the possible development of the regulated online market for online casino, poker, and bingo in Ontario, if the province were to introduce a licensing system for these products. The underlying assumption is that there are sufficient onshore licenses available in order to ensure a commercial and competitive market.
