Quebec faces scrutiny over underage online gambling and unregulated sites
Experts say teenagers in Quebec are gambling on illegal sites, with some reportedly losing thousands of dollars within weeks. Quebec’s government-run Loto-Québec is the province’s sole legal online gambling site, but the Quebec Online Gaming Coalition argues that a regulated competitive market is needed; industry figures put annual gross gaming revenue going to unregulated sites at CAD1.97 billion.
Operators and regulators face pressure to address underage access and the estimated CAD1.97 billion in annual revenue lost to unregulated sites.
