Canada has a thriving online gambling industry with the majority of online gambling websites being hosted by offshore operators. Canadian gambling laws concerning online gambling are not very clear and as a result the authorities have not been very strict with online gambling operators till now.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ontario’s new Tory government pledged to broaden online gambling options for the province’s approximately 15 million residents, effectively ending the current online gambling monopoly enjoyed by the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG)-operated PlayOLG.ca website.<\/font><\/p>\n

Private online operators will be able to submit applications for licenses to do business in Ontario, while residents will be able to purchase OLG lottery products with their smartphones should they choose to do so.<\/font><\/p>\n
