"We're the first in North America to undertake this business (casino-style online gambling), and our assumptions in regards to servers and volume capacity were wrong," Graydon said in an interview.

Haven't they heard of Kahnawake? Typical government operation..lol

What is the definition of an elephant?

An elephant is what you get when the government tries to build a mouse.

Back open now, you BC players should hop on their deposit bonus. Deposit $100, wager $100, get $100 bonus, wager $100. Done... Haven't seen a casino bonus like that in years!!!! Single hand blackjack is ok!

haha...every time I play online poker..just not to the Canadian government.

I am thinking if I get their free hundred bucks (and somehow keep mine) I will have lotto max tickets for a long time..lol

Not sure what is up with the "real" .02 though...I only spent their free 10 bucks.

DennisG

Well...my money got in there...played 100 bucks worth of black jack, ended up down 6 bucks...got my bonus money and went and played Sicbo with that...sitting at 158 bucks now after burning through that...lol.

Guess I will set it up to buy lotter tickets for the next 60? draws...lol

So...I thought their poker was going to be BC only...but, apparently they want everyone's money in Canada..

Could just be the sharing of the network with the other provincial lotteries. Each province with their own skin.

According to my contact at Boss Media, the official ban of Canadian players at Boss skins went into effect on Sept 24th, so I'm assuming they're hoping to fast track moving the play now program across the country.

The network/skin analogy probably makes the most sense.
