The Criminal Code’s Section 207 remained the central legislative pillar governing gambling throughout this period. It permitted provinces to conduct and manage lottery schemes, a term that courts and regulators gradually interpreted to include casino-style games and sports wagering. However, the code still contained a controversial restriction that limited sports betting exclusively to parlay wagers, meaning bettors could not legally place single-event sports bets through provincial operators. This restriction would persist for decades and become one of the most debated issues in Canadian gambling policy, ultimately driving many Canadian bettors toward offshore platforms as the internet age arrived.

The Rise of Online Betting and the Offshore Era

The emergence of the internet in the mid-1990s created an entirely new dimension for gambling that Canadian regulators were wholly unprepared to address. As offshore operators based in jurisdictions such as Antigua, Gibraltar, Malta, and Kahnawake began offering online casino games and sports betting to Canadian residents, the legal ambiguity surrounding their activities became immediately apparent. The Criminal Code did not explicitly address internet gambling, and federal authorities showed little appetite for prosecuting individual bettors who accessed foreign-based platforms. This regulatory vacuum allowed a thriving grey market to develop throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.
