Legal aspects of playing with Bitcoin

Online gambling in Canada is a regulated industry. There are no laws against online gambling but there are laws against gambling at unlicensed establishments or those which are not run by official institutions. Several of Canada’s provinces’ lotto organisers have also moved into online gambling which is proving to be a popular business in the Great White North. The advent of online casinos has seen several foreign-based sites operating from Canada and, in particular, from the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve as the residents have organised the Kahnawake Gaming Comission which offers online gambling licenses for activities such as online poker and sportsbook facilities. Because of the legal status of online gambling in Canada and the use of Bitcoin not being restricted, Canadian residents should have no trouble accessing and no concerns about playing at Bitcoin casinos from anywhere they wish to enjoy from.
