Newfoundland Says No To Online Casino Gambling

Newfoundland has announced their opposition to the legalization of online gambling within the province. Danny Williams, the Newfoundland Premier, commented that the province is not desperate to bring in new revenue by legalizing online gambling when the province already makes money from alcohol and tobacco.

While many believe that online gambling could bring as much as $50 million in extra revenue for the province, Newfoundland seems to be more concerned with gambling and less concerned with extra revenue. The Premier voiced his opinion after the Atlantic Lottery made comments regarding the potential of online gambling within the province. Government officials believe that their isn’t much support for online gambling among the cabinet members and it would likely fail if proposed.
