These profits help fund important programs and services like healthcare, education, and community programs. Illegal gambling websites advertise to Canadian players but often operate outside of Canada, taking the profits with them.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"> Manitoba Liquor &amp; Lotteries Corporation president and chief executive Manny Atwal added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Commercial gambling is illegal in Canada unless controlled by a provincial government, but offshore operators are active and promote their websites by advertising mirror &ldquo;free-to-play&rdquo; sites, in particular during popular live sporting events. The coalition said this blur the line between provincially regulated gambling sites and illegal operators.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Due to the concern over the rapid increase of such advertisements, the coalition will work to raise public awareness. It will advise media platform owners of their duty to comply with existing laws and regulations by refusing to accept misleading ads for illegal sites. It said it will also encourage the federal government to enforce laws and regulations to shut down these operators.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">Atlantic Lottery Corporation president and chief executive Patrick Daigle said: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><em>&ldquo;Research shows that the majority of players are unaware of whether an online site is legal in their province or not. This is a significant amount of money that could be staying right here in our region to fund public services, but instead continues to be taken away from helping our communities to the sole benefit of illegal operators.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:large\">No Copyright infringement intended.
