Fighting the Critics in Canada

The Quebec province in Canada plans to offer its own online casino gambling site as a way to pull in some revenue from the already extensive amount of gambling taking place in the country. Internet gambling is not regulated in Canada and as such it has been a free-for-all in the country for years now. Several provinces are stepping up and offering their own provincial legislation and regulations as a way to corner some of those gambling funds that are leaving the province, and even the country. And despite the fact that online casinos are already incredibly popular in Canada, and Quebec in particular, the decision to allow Loto-Quebec to launch its own gambling site has been met with criticism from doctors in the province.

Loto-Quebec has countered the critics with a citation of statistics and facts from European countries that have successfully implemented controlled state gambling without have a negative effect on the levels of problem gambling in the country. Although the Swedish online casino gambling monopoly is a hot topic of contention in Europe right now, Loto-Quebec points to Svenska Spel as a key example of how a government can implement a controlled gaming experience that closely monitors the levels of problem gambling and creates a safe gambling experience.

The Loto-Quebec online casino gambling site is expected to draw in a significant $50 million each year for the provincial government to use to offset budget concerns. Additionally, Loto-Quebec is a trusted state gambling company and it seems better to divert some of the gambling traffic through a state owned company rather than continuing to funnel all of the traffic through offshore and remote online sites.
