Gambling Association's Report

Those Canadians and international online casinos gambling companies fearing that the Canadian government plans to pass new restrictive legislation on the nation’s internet gambling industry can take a least a temporary sigh of relief. The Canadian Gambling Association released a report last week covering the effect of land and online casinos gambling on the nation – everything from the economy to the social impact. The Canadian media has widely circulated statistics from the largely positive report that seems to support the continuance of land and internet gambling.

The Association’s report gives an independent look and analysis of the land and online casinos gambling industry in Canada, something that has been widely criticized in the past few months. The Association’s report was actually quite positive with statistics that indicate that the land gambling industry provides significant jobs and state revenue.

According to the report, the land gambling industry (completely independent of the online casinos gambling industry which is not highly regulated at this point) contributes more than 267,000 full-time jobs across the country and generates $15.3 billion a year that goes back into the nation’s economy. And the Association’s report indicated that a huge percentage of the land casino gambling industry’s revenue goes back into the economy through governmental support as well as funding many social programs.

The land and online casinos gambling industry have been under scrutiny in the past several months because of complaints from the horseracing industry that internet gambling is hindering the long-term viability of horserace betting. And although the Association’s report was largely positive about land gambling, the criticisms are already beginning.
