Hopefully they ban the neo betting prediction markets as well

Prediction markets are already heavily regulated in Canada.

the sportsbooks/prediction markets were just legalized this summer. that's why there was a swell of advertisement.

it seems unlikely they'd ban something so soon after legalizing.

no one is banning gambling (impossible with the internet which is why they legalized it..) just advertising on.. tv I guess. because you cant stop advertising on the internet..

They had a ban in place for years and it worked. They have a ban for non kyc cryto markets. It is easy to lean on payment processors and stop 90% of it.

Yeah you just say that customers lost their money illegally, make the companies give the lost money back and watch them implement know-your-customer real quick, all on their own.

Yeah, they had no problem banning online poker that way. Annoying these garbage sports betting sites are allowed now but you still can't play online poker outside of a few states.

This is not an accurate history of online poker.

This is not a useful reply.

I see lots of gambling ads online but I don't see a lot of ads for cigarettes. Apparently there are some levers that can be pulled.

▲bethekidyouwant 3 hours ago | parent [-]

I don’t get it can you rent a server and make a cigarette company in an afternoon?

I think it's mutually beneficial, you're not somewhere you don't like.

▲throwaway_95283 4 hours ago | parent [-]

ooh boy, one would think right? Its def beneficial for me, but many Canadians don't like it.
