New Brunswick Considers Regulating Private Online Gambling

New Brunswick is reviewing whether to allow private companies to offer regulated online gambling, a move that could end the Atlantic Lottery Corporation’s (ALC) exclusive position in the Canadian province. Finance Minister René Legacy confirmed that Premier Susan Holt’s government is examining regulatory options as online gambling activity increases across Canada. The province is studying approaches adopted elsewhere, including Ontario and Alberta, but has not announced a final decision or implementation timetable.
