“This important adoption by the Canadian Senate paves way for the commencement of regulated single-bet sports wagering across Canada,” added Bailey.
Bill C-218 makes it legal for provinces to offer single-event betting on all sports wagering except horse racing, which would continue to fall under federal oversight. The enactment of Bill C-218 will have a significant economic impact in Canada, benefitting businesses, local communities, and the government.
