Here's what a random person on the internet says:

> Paddy Power, BF [Betfair] acquirer, handles the betting for the BC Lottery; and as such is specifically precluded from offering bookmaking on its own. But before this, BF had made the strategic decision of leaving all gray areas-- countries where it and/or betting wasn't specifically allowed. For one, jurisdictions where it was specifically allowed or applying to be-- could use such a violation as grounds for denial...US / NJ one example for sure. And in Canada sports betting is actually illegal, notwithstanding that the government will not go after individual players and hardly ever bothers any corporation.
