Quebec Gaming Coalition Calls for Regulatory Clarity After Montreal Study

A Nov. 5 study by the Montreal Regional Public Health Department (DRSPM) and Concordia University highlighting the growing popularity of online gambling in the city underscores the need for greater clarity on the Quebec government’s plans to regulate the market ahead of its fall economic update, according to the Quebec Online Gaming Coalition. According to the study, even as participation in traditional forms of gambling continues to decline, a majority of Montreal adults who gamble online use unregulated platforms either exclusively or alongside the government-owned Loto-Québec, currently the only regulated platform.
