Real Luck Group celebrates Canadian Senate's approval of Bill C-218 to legalise sports betting
Luckbox looks to be involved in the licensing process as soon as possible
CALGARY, AB and ISLE OF MAN, June 23, 2021 /CNW/ - Real Luck Group Ltd. (TSXV: LUCK) (OTCQB: LUKEF) (the "Company") and its subsidiary companies doing business as "Luckbox" (the "Group"), a leading provider of licensed, real money esports betting, welcomes the passing of Bill C-218 - known as The Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act - by the Canadian Senate.
Bill C-218, which proposes to make it lawful to bet on a single sports or athletics event, was passed by Senate's Standing Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce for deliberation and will now be sent back to the House of Commons for royal assent and becoming an official amendment to the Criminal Code.
Thomas Rosander, CEO of Real Luck Group, said: "This is a significant moment for the igaming industry and Canada and policymakers should be congratulated on reaching a decision that will help provide safe and regulated sports betting for millions of Candian fans. There is massive interest in wagering on sports and esports and the industry is expected to be worth billions to the nation's economy. We look forward to the official amendment to the Criminal Code and will look to be involved in the licensing process as soon as possible. Luckbox's proprietary award-winning platform, offering wagering on 14 major esports as well as sports betting, is well positioned to benefit from this trend. Real Luck Group is a member of the Canadian Gaming Association and we are following the progress in the Senate in what are exciting times for the industry in Canada and the US."
