Lottery Pushing for Internet Industry
Moving into the realm of online caisno gambling from the land lottery market is
not as big of a stretch as it may seem – the fact is that the land gambling
industry in all forms is finding that adding a selection of internet gaming
content is a simple way to bring in additional revenues by appealing to a
broader market base. Online casinos though are certainly not yet legal in all
markets – this is the case in Canada. New efforts out of Toronto though are
seeking a way to provide one of the state lottery company’s with an exception
from the legislation that makes online casino gambling in the country illegal.
The Atlantic Lottery Corp is the lottery corporation in the country specifically
looking to access the online casino gambling market through internet lottery,
poker, and/or sportsbetting. The potential is certainly there and the internet
gaming companies know that there is a viable market for all forms of online
casino gambling, if only the operation of internet gambling sites were legal in
the country.
Dickinson Wright, a law firm based out of Toronto is representing the interests
of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation and is doing all that is within its power to
affect positive change in the current online casino gambling industry. Michael
Lipton, a spokesperson for the law firm is standing firmly behind the benefits
of a regulated and legal online casino sportsbetting industry in the country.
Other nations have proven that effective control and regulation is definitely
possible. |
