News of the Month...

It's been known for all too long that many Canadians have a penchant for online gambling. Now, it seems the bulk of those taking delight in the freedom's of gambling from home could be young adults under the age of thirty-five. According to the 2008 National Gambling Report, which was recently presented by pollster, Allan Gregg, at the 2008 Canadian Gaming Summitt, people under the age of thirty-five are likely to be gambling online more frequently than any other age demographic. Resulting from a poll of 3,047 Canadians, the statistics show that 56% of those surveyed under the age of 35 considered online casino gambling, sports betting and online poker acceptable forms of wagering, compared to 35% of of those over the age of 35 and 20% of those surveyed 55 years and older. Although the report does not necessarily contend this age group is actually gambling online more, it suggests a propensity for this demographic to do so. On the other hand, these figures could simply allude to the fact that younger generations are more inclined to be familiar with and embrace technology, while older generations are more set in their traditional, non-technological ways. Either way, online gambling is still a hit in Canada and the nearby Mohawk reserve of Kahnawake, where the Kahnawake Gaming Commission licenses many respected online casinos (and some not too good one's I might add). It is estimated that Canadians spend from $300 to $400 million on online gambling per year. The entire industry is estimated to draw in over $15.3 billion, with government and charities receiving almost $9 billion.
