B.C. Sanctions Legal Online Gambling

July 16, 2010
The government of British Columbia has sanctioned legalized online gambling through the B.C. Lottery corporation. This is the first online government sanctioned casino in all of North America. The government is the first to try increasing government revenues by allowing and promoting online gambling.

Minister of Housing and Social Development Rich Coleman is advocating the use of this government sanctioned gambling website. His justification is that BC residents spend $100 million a year on illegal gambling websites. Instead, this money could be collected legally by the government and used for the province.

There are those who view this move by the government as wrong. The opposition says that this could lead to forming gambling addictions and is socially not moral.

Let's hear your opinion on this important decision.
