Quebec election puts private iGaming reform on the agenda
The Parti Québécois won Quebec’s 5 October election and is expected to pursue a private online gambling model, according to reports. The party has indicated it would take a regulatory approach similar to the Liberals’ proposal, but the rules and oversight body remain undecided. The article estimates that 73% of play currently takes place outside regulated channels.
Quebec may move toward private online gambling, but operators and regulators still lack settled rules and oversight arrangements.
