Quebec Government May Force ISPs To Block Gambling Websites

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @11:24AM from the good-luck-on-your-saving-throw dept.

New submitter ottawan- writes: In order to drive more customers to their own online gambling website, the Quebec government and Loto-Quebec (the provincial organization in charge of gaming and lotteries) are thinking about forcing the province's ISPs to block all other online gambling websites. The list of websites to be blocked will be maintained by Loto-Quebec, and the government believes that the blocking will increase government revenue by up to $27 million (CAD) per year.
