"Senate of Canada passes Bill C-218 by a vote of 57-20, which allows provinces to offer single-game sports betting.


After almost 10 years and two attempts by its proponents, single-event sports betting in Canada is about to be legal.


The Senate passed Bill C-218, the Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act, on Tuesday by a vote of 57-20. It will become law when the bill gets royal assent.


Once approved, the provinces will have the authority to license and regulate sports betting, which has seen an estimated $14 billion spent annually by Canadians through offshore (grey market) or illegal gambling (black market) operators.


“There a sense of ‘finally,’” Paul Burns, president and CEO of the Canadian Gaming Association, said Tuesday afternoon on hearing the news that the Senate had passed Bill C-218.


“We can now get on with what we’ve wanted to do for so long.”


Until now, bettors have only been allowed to legally wager on two or more games, otherwise known as a parlay.


Proponents of legalized sports betting watched two previous efforts to amend the Criminal Code fall by the wayside — first in 2011 and again in 2015. In February 2020, however, Saskatchewan MP Kevin Waugh reintroduced the legislation as a private member’s bill which made it to the Senate more than a year later.

Some places not till the New Year, some provinces with an already built in infrastructure like British Columbia and Manitoba with their PlayNow site will be able to offer single game wagering ASAP if they choose.

Maybe this is a stupid question but can bettors from the USA partake via phone or computer?

Handled

He replied back almost instantly with "Habs over Bolts in six" which would admittedly be quite the crime

"Phillips said Ontario will be a “competitive and regulated gambling market.” That should mean a lively online sports betting market with plenty of familiar operators trying to get a piece of what would be the fifth-largest US state."

I'm in Canada and I've been using single betting online since the late 90s.

Now it's legal and official. There are a bunch of new apps like BetRivers, BetMGM, bet this bet that. And they're all giving out huge promos for first time deposit.

Just yesterday I deposited $250 into BetRivers for %100 bonus. So I bet $500 on BJs and won So I took out $250 and now I have $750 for nothing. There was no 10 times bet rollover.
