Growing eSports Scene
The sports and eSports gaming industry in North America and particularly in Canada is one of great potential growth. The industry continues to grow further as many eSports corporations are advancing in the field. Previously, the Canadian Gaming Association announced that Fandom Sports has become an official member of the association. This came at a great time for the virtual sports solutions provider as the company is hopeful to expand in the local market as single-sports betting should arrive soon.
Bill C-218 Importance
Single-sports betting could have enormous importance to the eSports gaming field as the change in the Criminal Code would provide the industry with an even greater variety for sports wagering. Real Luck Group and its subsidiary eSports company Luckbox have been huge advocates for the change. The companies believe that the introduction of the bill would greatly influence the eSports industry and help it fulfill its multi-million dollar potential.
