Canadians had been waiting for years to finally get some legal online gambling in their country, and this time finally arrived on Thursday with the launch of the first licensed online casino provided by the Columbia Lottery Corporation. But that hasn’t lasted so much because the website couldn’t support the huge amount of visitors and crashed within a couple of hours.

After Canadian online casino players had been waiting for years for a safe and legal place to play, now the gamblers will have to wait that bit longer until the site's glitches have all been repaired. As the site’s capacity was soon reached and overcome just a few short hours after its launch, the technicians decided to shut down the site and to up additional hardware and servers. Players who are waiting eagerly for the site to be re launched will receive bonuses for signing up. An anonymous excited online player said: "I cannot wait until the site is up and running again because I have been waiting a long time to play casino games on my computer. It is nice to know there is a place where rules are going to be followed and my money is safe”. Officials of the site have assured the public that they have all the software necessary to fight underage and problem gambling at the casino.
