16-Oct-06. The future of Internet wagering? All bets are off. Calgary Herald, C3.

This article examines the future of Internet gambling by interviewing several experts on the subject. Dr. Robert Wood, a professor of sociology at the University of Lethbridge, says that prohibition of Internet gambling will not work and that laws governing gambling in Canada are outdated and based on early-20th, late-19th-century society. The author suggests that Canadian and American governments have three options with respect to online gambling: turn a blind eye to the activity, regulate the industry, or shut it down completely.
