Canadian Youths Prefer Web Betting

Young adults - a key growth sector for Canada's gambling industry - are very interested in such "technology driven" options as online gambling, which is not yet legal in Canada, an industry conference heard yesterday.

Citing a national survey, pollster Allan Gregg told the 2008 Canadian Gaming Summit under way in Montreal that one- third of Canadians say they are gambling less than they did three years ago, while those under 35 years of age are more likely to be gambling more.

"Unfortunately for lottery jurisdictions in Canada, this younger group favours the technology driven gambling options of the future," the chairman of Harris/Decima told about 200 conference participants.

Online sports betting and Web-based poker games are considered acceptable forms of gambling by 56 per cent of those 18 to 34 years of age, according to a recent survey of 3,047 Canadians.

Canada Gambling Tops $15B

The gambling industry says it has become so large in Canada that it is now the biggest revenue generator and employer in the entertainment field.

More than 135,000 people work directly in the gaming industry, according to research commissioned by the Canadian Gaming Association.

Adding in "the indirect and induced impacts of economic activity in this sector," the association says the total number of full-time jobs supported by the gaming industry in Canada is more than 267,000.

The numbers include direct employment in gambling operations like casinos and racetracks, employment in gambling-related government and charity organizations, and employment in areas that support and service the gambling sector.

Finding a Sportsbook on the Las Vegas Strip
The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 4 mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that runs from Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino (and sportsbook) at the southern end to the Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in the North. The Strip is one of the most famous and most valuable stretches of real estate in the world, and is the heart of the city that is known as the gaming capital of the world.   It's also the only place in the United States where you can find a sportsbook, so if you're a Candian thinking about taking a vacation in America's playground, you'll want to keep reading.

The Strip is ever changing and growing. Recently non-gaming properties in the form of tall condominium towers have been spouting up in between and behind the casino-hotels. Of course, casinos are also being built, with most seemingly designed to outdo prior properties. Also, while new properties are being developed existing properties are evolving and improving in an attempt to remain competitive.

WELCOME to Canada Sports Betting Information

If you're Canadian, you probably LOVE sports.  We love to play them and we love to watch them.  Nothing makes spectating more exciting than a little money on the game - a little action.  Betting with your buddy is all well and good, but more often than not, your buddy is a fan of the same teams you are.  What then?  Find a local bookie?  Is that legal in Canada?  And just how much of that high added juice do you pay before it's not fun anymore?

The best sports betting deals, in Canada or elsewhere, are online.  Technology has ushered in a new era in sports betting.  The high volumes and low overhead of an electronic sportsbook has pushed the bookie's edge over the bettor down to historic lows.  But how does the average Canadian make sense of all of those lines, numbers, and options?  How can you get money into the sportsbook?  How do you get money out?  Should you bet with Canadian dollars, or US, or Euros?  How do you find a legitmate sportsbook you can trust?

Our mission at Canada Sports Betting Information  is to help you find answers to all of those questions, and any others you might have about online sports betting.  Because if you're Canadian, you LOVE sports.
