It is a bit frustrating but yes, we will still have some poker available to us.

Just recently (pretty much since the Olympics began) I would say that about 25% (seems more like 50%) of the commercial ads I am seeing after 6 p.m. ET, given this is probably primetime viewing, there has been what I think is a ridiculous number of 'BetRivers' sports betting platform advertising. One thing they have included in the graphics is that the platform is not available yet but coming soon to Ontario. So, we are now aware of the sports betting platforms working their way into the province but I'm still unsure just how much poker is affected. The Online Poker Report are the only one who has stated that online poker will be played with players only in Ontario - other articles have not stated this...yet. Time will tell how everything will work out but you are right! We still have online poker.

One of the articles I linked up there, indicated that there could be a loss of revenue over the course of 5 years. However, I'm unsure what the formula is to get to that loss. But, since the 'task force' has been digging deep into the regulation of gaming, gambling, sports betting, poker sites, since the closure of brick and mortar casinos during COVID19, one would think they would keep in mind just how much can be gained, rather than lost.

So in the end, we will most likely have poker available to play online even though it won't be what we were used to.
