Guidance For Players in Canada’s Newly Regulated Gambling Market
Canada's new regulated gaming market will be available to all citizens in summer 2021. Private Members Bill C-218 paved the way for private operators to start taking bets from Canadian citizens. There will soon be both offshore and Canada-licensed poker and casino tables.
Look for sites licensed from Canada. The main advantage of a regulated market for Canadian gamblers is playing on casino games and poker tables run by operators who are licensed within their own country. An offshore site licensed in one of the jurisdictions in Europe or central America is not so safe. In the event of dispute you have recourse to the newly appointed Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
The initial rush of high value match bonuses will drop off as operators focus on retaining their new customer base.
There is a new regulated gambling market in Canada. New players will bring with them a better product portfolio and better understanding of what makes gamblers tick. They will have the full Megaways™ slots suite, Evolution live tables, blockbuster movie slots and huge progressive jackpots.
The first new casinos with local licensing are expected to open in 2022. New gambling brands are sure to offer a high-roller experience to their VIP players. They will offer enhanced offers around birthday, first access to new slots and table games when they launch, and entry to exclusive poker tournaments.
