Liberals table single-game sports betting bill
The Liberal government is rolling the dice on a bill to decriminalize one-game sports betting, five years after a previous attempt died in the Senate. Justice Minister David Lametti says the bill, tabled Thursday morning, will scrap Criminal Code provisions that ban gambling on single games of football, hockey and other sports to reclaim for casinos some of the $14 billion lost annually to the black market and foreign gambling websites.
