Canada is home to many online gamblers and poker players and for the most part Canadians have been able to play online casino games without any real problems. The governments of various provinces in the country have been busy setting up online casinos in order to cash in on the fast growing and lucrative trend.
This move has offshore operators looking closely at the bottom line and are considering the repercussions should the Federal Government of Canada decide to go the same route as the Department of Justice in America has gone.
Sky Vegas Casino has decided they will no longer offer their gambling services to the Canadian jurisdiction. Customers of Sky Vegas have until June the first 2011 to close all of their accounts associated with the Sky Vegas Casino web site.
A statement was sent to players via email from Sky Vegas casino management stating, “Following a Sky Betting & Gaming group review of operations, we will not be offering any of our products or services to customers who are based out of Canada.” The announcement continued, “Therefore your account will be closed as of June 1st, 2011. If you have an outstanding balance you will need to use or withdraw amounts before this date.”
Sky Vegas is operated by Sky Betting & Gaming group and is powered by Wagerworks/IGT software. Sky Vegas is run by the TV broadcaster, and is licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, it is assured you can be confident that the games are fair, safe and well run.
It is not known exactly why Sky Vegas is pulling out of the Canadian jurisdiction but it has been speculated that the provincial governments of the country establishing their own regulated and licensed online casinos will leave little profit room for offshore internet wagering operators.
