This, or something related to it, could be the reason...perhaps NT is concerned about the ease with which Americans may try to become 'virtual Canadians' to circumvent the US-ban (many have already gone this route, no doubt).

I agree with this speculation.

I'm cross-posting this from the legislation forum - It sucks that we can have a 3 page thread on this matter and still not have any real answers.

I have a feeling this whole thing with ewallets pulling out may have something to do with this article. To be honest I wish these natives would just let it rest and not attempt to take on the government on this issue - maybe it will lead to a regulated environment in Canada sooner than we'd like.

Does anybody else think that this may be the reasoning behind several e-wallets pulling out of the Canadian market? It's certainly turning more and more public attention to the grey area that is online gambling in Canada.

Meh...I don't know. It's possible, I suppose, but this has been a pretty obscure item. I first heard about it a couple of months ago, but only because I often read the newspaper cover-to-cover...otherwise I'm sure I would have never heard about it.

That being said, I've always been a little concerned that so many of the sites are run in Canada. It seems to me only a matter of time until someone starts raising a fuss about this. I think the only reason no one has yet is because they fear another Oka. Hopefully that fear continues to keeps the status quo in place.
