Despite a well-regulated domestic market, Canada continues to struggle with the prevalence of offshore gambling platforms. A recent study found that over 50% of Canadian online gamblers use unlicensed websites, resulting in significant revenue losses for provincial governments.

    The Canadian Gaming Association has called for stricter enforcement measures and greater collaboration with tech companies to block illegal platforms. Meanwhile, provinces like Ontario have launched public awareness campaigns to encourage players to choose licensed operators.

    Experts argue that a unified national strategy could be more effective in tackling the issue, but gambling regulations in Canada remain a provincial responsibility. The debate over jurisdiction continues to hinder progress.
