Roulette in Canada

Canada sits on top of the United States, and its cities, such as Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, regularly top the “Top 10 Best Places to Live” lists. The online casino industry can trace it roots back to this great country- the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory in Quebec was the first jurisdiction in the world to regulate the interactive gambling market. Who wouldn’t want to live in Vancouver?

Is Online Gambling Legal in Canada?

Well, we all know that online gambling is only recently been licensed across the border in the USA in a number of States including Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada. The US market is opening up (very) slowly to online gambling, but what’s the story in neighbouring Canada?

It appears that Canadians take a more relaxed view on the subject. As far as we know, there are no laws written, that specifically outlaw or allow online gambling. It’s in a “grey area”, particularly when we talk about online casinos based overseas that accept bets from Canadians.

Nobody playing in Canada has ever been prosecuted. Canadian provinces are reluctant to push against such a strong tide and have even been opening their own online casinos.

Plus you have to remember that lots of online casinos are licensed and regulated in Canada by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Quebec. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission has been an online casino licensing jurisdiction since 1999 – longer than other famous jurisdictions like Gibraltar, Malta and Alderney. To get a licence from Kahnawake, the online casino must be located on Kahnawake land, thus on Canadian soil.

Luxury Casino is one such site that is licensed there.

However, we just need to remind you that it is your make sure that it is legal to play in the jurisdiction where you live. You should always seek out your own independent legal advice on the matter.
