Online Casinos Outpacing Land Venues: 2

A major issue that Williams is quick to point to is the alleged research that indicates that free-play online casinos have more favorable odds than the real-money versions of the game as a way to falsely lure gamblers into a sense of complacency. Williams asserts that the real-money versions of the casino games have lower odds of winning and lower payout percentages. This fact is hotly contested by the online casinos who assert that the payout percentages are the same. Williams also asserts that underage gamblers use the free-play option extensively until they are of age and then run into problems when they are able to participate in real money online gambling.

Williams’ written report on the current state of the Canadian gambling industry was developed in conjunction with the Ontario Problem Gambling Research Centre according to Williams and will be fully released in coming months. In the interim though Williams was more than willing to provide some statistics and “facts” to the Edmonton Sun concerning Canadian online casino gambling. The report has not even been released yet and already online gambling analysts are contesting that the research numbers are exaggerated to support Williams’ point.

Another big bone of contention for Williams that was mentioned in the Edmonton Sun article was the fact that the Kahnawake Gaming Commission is running unchecked by the Canadian government and there is no indication that the government plans to intervene on the Commission’s licensing process or violation of online casino gambling regulations already in place in Canada.
