This week in gambling, we bring you exciting news about the addition of in-play sports betting option in Quebec. We also take a look at the new Parent Hub portal in the UK, which helps to educate about the risks of loot boxes for children. Furthermore, we shed some light on the newest casino to join us at Online Casinos Canada and the latest theft-themed video slot by Yggdrasil.

This Week in Canada: Quebec Now Offers Online In-Play Sports Betting

Sports betting just got more exciting for bettors in Quebec when Loto-Quebec, the monopoly of the province’s gambling market, finally adds in-play sports betting option to their online Espace-jeux site on Tuesday. However, it still needs to follow the federal law which states that single-game sports betting is illegal. Therefore, you’ll have to make parlay wagers if you want to make bets after the game has started. But hold your horses, don’t expect to get a whole host of fun in-play bet options… at least not yet. You can bet on the usual like who will be the winner of the game, the total score of the match etc. But for the more exotic options, I guess you’ll just have to wait. We Canadians are known to be polite and patient, anyway, so you’ll be fine!

This Week in the Rest of the World: New Portal in the UK to Educate About the Dangers of Loot Boxes

Loot boxes have been increasingly more popular, especially among young people. This could be a potential problem as the issue with loot boxes is similar to that of gambling addiction, where sometimes, even the act of opening a loot box is as important as the content inside. With the goal of protecting children from the risks of loot boxes, The Young Gamers And Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) has worked with universities in the UK to launch Parent Hub. This is a portal to help parents and carers get educated about the dangers of loot boxes for the children in their care. We certainly hope this portal works because we don’t want our future generation to already develop a gambling addiction even before they reach the legal age to play at online casinos, do we?
