Woodbine Entertainment congratulates the Senate on passing sports betting legislation with protection for the horse racing industry intact.
Bill C-218
Due to a collaborative effort by the horse racing industry, C-218 includes language that prohibits fixed odds betting on horse racing.
Under the new proposed sport betting legislation, fixed odds wagering on horse racing would not be permitted.
The private member's Bill C-218 does not currently contain language that protects Canadian horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering.
