As the only regulated provider in the region, Atlantic Lottery maintains Level IV (the highest) World Lottery Association certification and employs Healthy Play features. Finance Minister Siobhan Coady says “As a government, we wish to ensure the safety of residents who engage in online gaming.” She says, “ Atlantic Lottery’s platform provides a responsible alternative for residents who currently have access to hundreds of online gaming sites, none of which are legal or regulated. If gambling becomes a problem for you or someone you know, there are many resources that can help. The Gambling Help Line is a free, confidential service available province-wide, 24 hours a day.
