PokerCollectif learned that the company GTech, designer software online game that will soon be offered to residents of Quebec, British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces, no longer accept Canadian players as of September 24, 2010 on its network international. Gtech operates the well-known "Boss Media" network, a size comparable to MicroGaming and Cereus. Boss Media is about the 7th largest network in terms of traffic.
It was impossible for PokerCollectif learn more at the moment, but good sources tell us that this is a result of the contract between GTech and Loto-Quebec, the BCLC and the ALC (which soon will offer a range of online gambling ). As indicated there several days, Loto-Québec will use the same platform as the Boss Media network ( exclusive details online site Loto-Québec ). This platform will be available from October, just after the application of the Canadian ban on Boss Media network on September 24.
Remains whether other networks will follow suit, but one can easily doubt that Canada will not dare tackle the sites under the jurisdiction of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
Note that recently, the Canadian government announced plans to tackle online gaming by combining the serious crime ( The online game associated with serious crime? ). Regulation of poker in Canada seems well under way and the various parties slowly place their pieces on the board. PokerCollectif continue to monitor the situation and provide you with the latest information.
