In a Gambling Utopia: Canada

Talk about an interesting market. The Canadian online casino gambling industry is entirely unique because there is rampant internet gambling throughout the country, and there is even a huge licensing jurisdiction running within the country, but yet Canada has no updated laws and regulations about the internet gambling industry. Unlike its southern neighbor, Canada has definitely not been too hasty within decided on which side of the fence to come down concerning the internet gambling issues. Online casinos are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, a questionably autonomous region of Canada that licenses sites operating all over the world.

Although the US certainly passed the online casino gambling legislation far hastier than necessary and even appropriate, the Canadian government is catching a lot of criticism these days for a failure to address the growing internet gambling industry. The pastime is illegal in Canada, but there is absolute no enforcement and actually no clear laws on the subject. Canada is a haven for some major online casinos operating headquarters out of the region. One of the reasons that Canada is a popular region for internet gambling is due to the fact that it is perfectly situated in proximity to the US, should the US market ever reopen.

There has been some movement in Canada lately from watchdog organizations and even the gambling companies themselves with efforts to address and stop underage and problem gambling. The basic fact of the situation in Canada though is clear – the country is in limbo, online casinos are gently flourishing, and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission operates with very little oversight until the government really takes a close and hard look at the industry.
