Breaking News For Canadian Residents

Online casino players in Canada were shocked to learn that some online casino and online poker sites have decided to no longer accept players based in Canada. The ban, that was implemented immediately restricts players from downloading the online casino software and access the games.

The restrictions were implemented without any official announcements from the casinos which left many Canadian online gamblers confused and concerned. Eventually a statement was released “We regret to inform you that due to the new regulations of the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Loto-Quebec and the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, online gaming products in Canada are prohibited. Unfortunately we are required to add Canada to our list of excluded countries,” read an email sent to players at Casino Club. “Players from Canada will no longer be permitted to play at Casino Club starting September 24th, 2010.”

It’s expected that certain major online casino and online poker operators could push with all their power to source a Canadian online gambling license to make the most of this new news.
