In 2020, due to the spread of the 'Covid-19' virus, many land-based casinos across Canada, including those in BC, are under 'lockdown' orders. Until the pandemic is under control, players are choosing online gambling in British Columbia, contributing to Canada's ranking as the 8th largest gambling country in the world, with revenues totaling billions of dollars each year:
The 'British Columbia Lottery Corporation' ('BCLC') is responsible for overseeing gambling in British Columbia through the province's official site 'PlayNow'...
...with revenue generated from 'PlayNow.com', 'BC
casinos' and 'Lottery' invested directly back into the province...
...to
support programs and services from healthcare and education to social
services and infrastructure projects.
This site isn't the only licensed and regulated gambling site for BC players to play at. There are plenty of top-rated international online casinos in 2020 that accept Canadian players.

These international companies typically offer more attractive promotions, more frequent bonus codes and offer a wider selection of games from leading software providers like 'NetEnt', 'Microgaming' and 'Playtech'.
They
also offer fast payouts and the most popular 2020 banking methods
