Canadian Race Track First to Offer Online Gambling

The Woodbine Entertainment Group (formerly the Ontario Jockey Club) has introduced an online wagering system that permits horse racing fans to place wagers online through the HPIBET.com website. In an attempt to ensure compliance with age requirements, Woodbine is requiring bettors to register in person at a track with proof of age and residency in order to open an account. While online gambling has been available throughout the United States, this appears to be the first Canadian online wagering website.
