Single-event Sport Gambling in Canada to become Legal as Bill C-218 clears Senate

''' The Canadian Gaming Association has welcomed the possibility of working with provincial partners as a result of this decision. CEO of the CGA Paul Burns said, "This is a major milestone and achievement for the Canadian gaming industry. The CGA has been working to legalize single-event sports betting for more than 10 years and this bill benefited from a groundswell of broad stakeholder support across the country."

In Canada, a bill must be given royal assent by the Governor General prior to officially becoming an act of Parliament. Chief Justice Richard Wagner will perform this duty in this case. The bill would then become law on a date set by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet.

The quest to end the ban in single-game betting in Canada has been followed closely by gambling operators in Canada and overseas, ready to pounce on a new market expected to be worth billions of dollars. ''''

It says 'Undisputed blackjack champion, 24-0'. This is a cool way to say get the f**k out of our casino and don't come back."

Crikey : sports betting is changing the media business model

 

... ''' In Australia, News Corp is leading the pack with speculation that heir-apparent Lachlan Murdoch is eager to follow fellow billionaire’s-son James Packer (and former US president Donald Trump) into gambling through an ownership and licensing stake in the $2 billion revenues of Tabcorp’s sports betting arm.

Add ownership to the ad dollars the betting industry already provides, mix in the traditional media reluctance to bite the hand that feeds it, and its odds-on that sports reporting will increasingly follow the (gambling) money. Odds-on, too, that old media will lend its lobbying clout to push for deregulation and tax cuts for the industry.

Let’s be honest: media have never been shy of scooping the froth of sin-generated cash flows, whether they’re the tabloid-mediated soft porn of page three girls and discreetly positioned “adult” ads in the classifieds or the broadcast blaring of the cigarette naming rights sponsorships that once branded the country’s football and cricket.
