Default Re: Online gambling in Canada...Illegal?

I would like to see them charge me with "being in a common gaming house" when I am in fact sitting in my living room.

Oh Relax!
IF Internet Gambling were illegal, the rest of the Code has your ass very well covered:

Part VII Disorderly Houses, Gaming and Betting

197.(4) A place may be a common gaming house notwithstanding that

(a) it is used for the purpose of playing part of a game and another part of the game is played elsewhere;

(b) the stake that is played for is in some other place; or

(c) it is used on only one occasion in the manner described in paragraph (b) of the definition “common gaming house” in subsection (1), if the keeper or any person acting on behalf of or in concert with the keeper has used another place on another occasion in the manner described in that paragraph.

Or, how about:

202. (1) Every one commits an offence who

(a) uses or knowingly allows a place under his control to be used for the purpose of recording or registering bets or selling a pool;

Enjoy!
