Canadian Site Launch Success

The Canadian provinces have been talking about the launch of a new online casino gambling industry in the country run by the provincial governments and the British Columbian government was the first of these provinces to actually go live with a state run gambling site. The demand for the new B.C. run internet gambling site was actually so high that the site crashed within just hours of its launch. The success of the site meant that the B.C. officials had to take the online casino betting site down for maintenance on launch day and make adjustments to the Openbet platform to better support the huge number of gamblers pouring into the site.

The overwhelming opening day success of the B.C. run online casino site PlayNow.com worked as an effective silencer for the critics who claimed that the launch of a government run site was ineffective and not needed. The gamblers have shown otherwise and proved an important point that has been made over and over by the foreign and offshore online casinos – gamblers prefer the safety of a regulated market although they are willing to be within an unregulated market. Canadians are already using the offshore and domestic gambling sites so now the new B.C. site is an effective way for the region to bring in more profits while also giving the gamblers a guaranteed safe and regulated environment for gambling.

The new site is already back up and running and B.C. gamblers are enjoying the fun OpenBet platform on the online casino site and are looking forward to more options and promotions from this B.C. run gaming site. Although the new Play Now site will not stop other gambling sites from accessing B.C. gamblers, this is a new option that helps the government and is a key step toward a safe and open gambling market in B.C.
