BCLC extends gaming partnership with Scientific Games

What’s available in British Columbia?

Under current law in Canada, residents can only place sports wagers legally through the official platform that’s offered and established by every Crown corporation. In British Columbia, that’s through the BCLC, which means all players must go through the Scientific Games platform. Canada does not allow single-game wagering yet, although changing that law has been discussed for quite a few months now. This makes it even more important that Crown corporations make sure their platforms are attractive to players and easy to use. Otherwise, players may flock to other off-shore platforms that offer more selections.

For now, Scientific Games will continue to offer wagering to British Columbia residents within the confines of the law. To make it attractive for players, the company gives them access to proprietary feed services that keep them informed about what’s going on. In addition, Scientific Games’ platform allows players to place in-play wagers as well as traditional pre-match wagers, and they cover sports across the world.

What else the OpenTrade platform offers

In addition to offering legal sports wagering, the Scientific Games’ OpenTrade platform provides players with a ton of extra fun features. One of these features is sports tournaments, and the platform will give players access to more than 300,000 of these every year. This new agreement between Scientific Games and the BCLC will see a new platform called OpenSports launched. In addition to a user-friendly interface that welcomes players over and over again, it also will offer a ton of promotions and scoreboards.
The only thing missing now it seems for players in BCLC are sports to actually bet on.

Most of the world’s professional sports leagues halted their seasons due to the coronavirus pandemic that has swept the globe. Some professional soccer leagues have resumed play in Europe, albeit on a slower scale and without fans in the stands. North American sports are beginning to organize and are trying to resume play within the next month, but it’s anyone’s guess whether they will be able to return at all, or even finish a season successfully if they do return. With the coronavirus raging in the United States still, it’s anyone’s guess at this point.

Scientific Games is a known factor in Canada

The BCLC has been partnering with Scientific Games for sports wagering services for some time now, but it’s not the only province that does so. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation extended its partnership with the company back in 2018. That agreement will see the two collaborate on sports gambling offerings through 2022. It’s telling that multiple Crown corporations use the company that’s based out of Las Vegas. It’s a great sign for players, in fact.
