PQ Victory Puts Quebec’s Online Gambling Rules in Play

Quebec’s election result has put a private online gambling market on the political agenda , after the Parti Québécois won 59 seats on Monday, October 5, five short of a majority. The Liberals took 40 seats and are entitled to Official Opposition status, creating the possibility of cross-party support for reform-but no framework has been enacted. The result could move the province away from Loto-Québec’s exclusive right to offer Internet gaming and towards a competitive model more like Ontario’s.
