加拿大多伦多新闻台2月5日发布消息，加拿大安大略省网络销售彩票业解禁。“在今年年底之前，安大略政府和彩票及博彩机构会有正式文件出台，允许居民在网络上购买彩票。”报道这样描述道。去年12月安大略省彩票委员会发出招标公告，寻求网站建设和网络安全运营公司，本报曾以《加拿大安大略省彩票机构计划推出在线网络游戏》做出报道。
销量可保1亿加元
安大略省彩票委员会发言人托尼·比通蒂对此表示，通过互联网销售彩票的前景不可估量，据测算，海外网络彩票和赌博业务每年从安大略省境内带走约为5亿加元。目前，安大略省彩票委员会正在着手准备建立在线彩票系统。
约在去年同一时期，安大略省政府官员曾预计，如若安大略省开启互联网售彩的大门，那么在最开始的5年内，销量能保证每年达到1亿加元。据了解，安大略省境内赌场业务利润约为每年33亿加元，彩票和宾果游戏业务同样约为每年33亿加元。如若加上互联网售彩业务这一强势臂膀，将能有效缓解安大略省财政赤字压力。
备受年轻人欢迎
无论是互联网售彩或者是网络博彩的解禁，都是为了缓解各届政府官员头痛的财政赤字问题。安省政府和博彩委员会曾在上个月计划在市中心建立赌场的消息，引发当地市民极力反对，根据该项计划民意调查数据显示，50%受访者表示反对设立新赌场，赞成者占35%，另15%对此没有发表意见。相比较而言，互联网彩票业务的开放得到了大多数市民的肯定和欢迎。“彩票玩家在我们这里非常多，年轻人更喜欢通过网络做事情，当然我也是一个。”该地区网友这样评论道。
据了解，该地区针对于智能手机的互联网彩票客户端正在开发中，届时，拥有苹果或黑莓等智能手机用户便可以通过手机网络购买彩票。
做好网售前期工作
2004年，加拿大大西洋彩票公司推出互联网销售彩票业务（原命名为“Playsphere”网站），成为加拿大国第一个也是唯一一个合法网络售彩地区。2010年，不列颠哥伦比亚省推出网络博彩业务（命名为“PlayNow”网站），但是刚起步不久网站崩溃。
业内人士及政府官员认为，安大略省若想成功卖出网络售彩第一步，还需放慢脚步，做足前期的调查研究、网络测试等准备工作，以避免出现不列颠哥伦比亚省、魁北克省和欧洲一些国家在互联网售彩方面遇到的问题。
