Gambling Cases: Frequently Asked Questions
Is playing Texas hold'em or mahjong with friends a gambling offense?
It depends on factors such as the nature of the venue and whether anyone profits from hosting. Private club or friendly games played for entertainment have obtained non-prosecution rulings after a proper defense.
Can I face criminal liability for playing at online casinos?
After amendments to the Criminal Code, gambling for property over the internet can also constitute a gambling offense. Liability varies greatly with the circumstances and your role in the money flow, so consult a lawyer early.
What charges can operating or acting as an agent for a gambling website bring?
Possible charges include providing gambling premises for profit and assembling crowds to gamble, potentially alongside the Money Laundering Control Act. Penalties are heavier than for mere participation; clarifying money flows and role division is the core of the defense.
