David Willmot, CEO of Woodbine Entertainment Group, said the Ontario\’s quest to ban online betting sites from advertising in the province is a big step forward in creating a more level playing field in the gambling industry.
Willmot also said Woodbine is not afraid to compete, but it needs to be done on a level field, with everyone in the industry playing by the same rules and paying their fair share of taxes to provincial regulators.
“We pay over $15 million a year in regulatory fees to regulators to make sure the consumer is protected. None of that exists for the offshores but nothing is being done about it,” he said.
“What I say is either enforce the law or legalize it, regulate it and tax it.” he added. “We\’d be happy with either scenario.”
