    Canadian Gambling

    Anyone have any legitimate insight into when these American books like DK, FD, MGM and Caesars will begin to operate north of the border? I was in Vegas and Phoenix this past week and was being bombarded with free bet or risk free bet push notifications on my phone.

    Look forward to taking advantage of these one day but right now the "legal" Canadian books are just operated by the provinces and are no better than the previous system.

    Unless you live in Ontario they'll be years away, if ever. Ontario will likely get going between April-July 2022.

    Never. Provincial governments will not allow any private entities to encroach on their monopoly otherwise ot would have already occurred. You will not be seeing any competition with the government operated books.

    This is not true for Ontario. Ontario is in the final stages of creating a framework for private offshore companies to be licensed/taxed and compete side by side with OLG.

    You have access to Pinnacle if you live in Canada. Bonuses might be nice but good lines and no limiting when/if you become a winner is much nicer. Easy to get paid as it is not illegal.

    As a previous poster said.Provincial governments are not willing to give local licenses to ofshore gambling sites.Because they do not want competition.Only Ontario might.I know that big gambling corporations operating in USA are lobbying to get licenses in Canada as well.But with little success as right now.

    Ontario will have

    BetMGM
    Pointsbet
    The Score
    Caesars/Will Hill
    Fanduel

    By April 2022. I get messages from recruiters daily about remote jobs or jobs in Toronto from these companies as they prepare to enter Canada.

    Alberta (AGLC) just said theyre offering two licenses to start

    Do you have any official link about AGLC that states that they are offering 2 licenses to start?
    AGLC chosed NeoPollard as their Gaming provider which in returns will take big % of the profits.They could have bought the software for less than 50k a year and run it themselves hiring the best Pros in the market .But chosed Neopollard which in return will take couple of millions a year.

    Just announced

    Penn National Gaming*announced that theScore Bet has obtained GLI-33 certification for its mobile sports betting and iGaming app in Ontario. This certification is an important step in preparation for Ontario’s regulated sports betting and iGaming market, which is expected to commence with private operators in early 2022.

    theScore CEO*John Levy*said: “We’re pleased to be one of the first online gaming operators to secure GLI-33 certification in Ontario. We are eager to launch theScore Bet in our home market and showcase our unrivaled combination of media and gaming to fans across the province. This approval is a credit to our first-rate product and engineering team who have been hard at work to ready theScore Bet for launch in Ontario.”

    Thats the problem with regulators in these provinces. The people doing the job don’t know much about the betting industry.

    Great news.I am happy for the ScoreBet because their headquarters is in Toronto and they do hire locals. I also heard Rivalry which is headquarter in Toronto is applying for a local license same as BLITZBET which is a trusted Canadian betting site.AGLC is planning to open also betting kiosk in stadiums according to the article in Alberta which might have HUGE impact.Thats the most affective way to beat offshores.

    Hopefully Scorebet doesn’t limit fast. They went from contracting their odds/risk mgmt to a 3rd party to now bringing it in house. They had 7 straight quarters of losses.

    In terms of what?

    Limits - No
    Markets - No
    Payout - Mostly no but if some are partnered with a casino some love being paid in cash
    App - Pinnacle app is non existent. These companies will have a better app
