Provinces Begin Online Casinos

The real push toward legalized online casino gambling in Canadian provinces has just begun this week as several provinces firmly announce their plans to launch state run monopolies. The British Columbian government was the first of these provinces to jump out of the planning stage and into the internet gambling industry. That effort failed horribly because of a hacker that took down the site and stole player data within hours of the online casinos launch. As the other Canadian provinces consider launching into the industry they are taking heed of the situation that arose in BC and are making adjustments to their launch strategies to ensure that this does not happen to them too.

Saskatchewan feels like the government is really missing out on the potential right now but is working with foreign online casino software development companies to launch the state monopolies. Rather than try to create the needed software, platforms, and security measures themselves and encounter the BC debacle once again, the Saskatchewan officials are closely watching what the other provinces do in the coming months so they can learn from the mistakes before stepping into the market.

There is so much potential within the Canadian online casino gambling industry right now but the provincial governments are making cautious baby steps toward the launch process so that the resulting industries are strong and able to meet the needs of gamblers within their province. Quebec is right on the cusp of legalization because the province has long had such a large internet gambling presence with online gambling groups basing headquarters out of the region and Harrah’s Interactive currently has the gambling group’s internet division operating out of Motreal; this puts the province in a good position for launching into the provincial run gambling market.
