Canadian Gamers Having Problems
Friday, October 15th, 2010Canada is having problems with online gambling because more companies are banning and blocking their residents from gaming. There is a new trend where companies like Paddy Power, Casino Club and BWin are all banning Canadian residents from using their downloadable applications. The problem is that there is a strong gambling public in Canada and they are pining for good gaming companies to take on their business. Another problem is that there is no real reason for the current bans. In fact, the companies gave little explanation as to why suddenly Canadian gamers cannot wager at their casinos. Game lovers in the country received notifications via email that they were not going to be serviced any longer and would have to find other locations to wager for real money bets. It is odd that one company after another is sending notifications to Canadians and they have no real reason for the ban. The only information eluded to is that new laws in Canada are changing and making it difficult to continue offering gambling to the country. The one thing these companies have in common though is their own affiliations with Boss Media. It could be that Boss Media is the one putting forth the bans, but still no one knows truly why.
Overall Canada has been moving quickly into the online gambling market. Obviously there are quite a few people who want to wager and are ready to share their top dollars to do so. If they cannot find a market, it is going to complicate things. Plus if Boss Media continues to be close-lipped about the issue it is only going to continue breeding confusion in the market. no one knows why gambling was offered by the above companies and now suddenly it is not. Most likely there is some legal reason that Boss Media is pulling out of the market, but it leaves the Canadian gaming public in a learch. No one knows what other companies are going to step in, if any, to offer premiere gambling services online. If not, Canada will have to look for offshore companies that take their business to continue wagering.
