Hartley Henderson of OSGA.com confirmed Monday that legalized sports betting in Canada will not become an issue for offshore sportsbooks following concerns over Ladbrokes abrupt departure and public statements made by the Atlantic Lottery Corporation.

The later operator criticized UK-based Bet365 for apparently syphoning off much of its business, primarily through undercutting – and let’s face reality for a moment here – by offering a much more superior product.

Henderson reports:

After speaking to lawyers in Canada who seem to be well connected with federal government officials it's quite clear that laws pertaining to offshore gambling aren't even on the government's radar. The federal government in Canada seems happy with the current legislation which makes it illegal for offshore gambling companies to advertise real money products and with the implied agreement by the same companies that they will not advertise any related products.

Gambling911.com, the second most trafficked gambling news and information website based out of Canada after Covers.com, regularly monitors events taking place on the legal front there.

“There is nothing currently to suggest a change of stance when it comes to online gambling in Canada,” says Payton O’Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website.
