Ontario Court of Appeal reviews cross-border online gambling proposal
Ontario’s Court of Appeal heard three days of arguments ending 28 November on whether the province can allow local players to join online poker and paid daily fantasy sports games with participants abroad. The provincial government is seeking legal clarity, while the Canadian Lottery Coalition opposes the plan; a five-judge panel will issue its ruling later.
The ruling could determine whether Ontario can pursue pooled international player liquidity for poker and paid daily fantasy sports.
