Canada Taking Heat for Online Casinos

The Ontario government has been lightly discussing the issue of rapid growth of the online casino gambling industry within Ontario and Canada as a whole – and some analysts, scholars, and watchdog groups are pressing for the officials to take the whole thing a bit more seriously. Canada has long been criticized about its internet gambling policies throughout the past two years and even more so in recent months as the economic crises leaves some pointing fingers at the online casino gambling industry as a culprit of some of the country’s financial problems. There are really very few statistics and comprehensive studies done in Canada to assess not only the prevalence of online casino gambling, but also the prevalence of problem gambling throughout the country.

As the economic crisis hits very close to home and Canadians are really beginning to feel the pressure there is an even bigger push from online casino gambling opponents for the government to finally address the issues surrounding the legality of regulating internet gambling coming out of the sovereign nation of the Mohawk tribe.

A professor out of York University has painted a pretty dire picture of the situation if it is to continue as is, without government regulatory involvement. Klassen observes that online casino gambling is going to really overpower the land gambling industry and will eventually involve nearly every component of land gambling that is currently available event the simplest of tasks like buying lottery tickets. All of this is not inherently bad, it’s the fact that the online casinos are unregulated from the government that causes concerns that the youth and problem gamblers will face exploitation as the industry continues to grow.
