The only legal provider of sports betting in Quebec says it is looking into taking event wagers at its casinos and gaming halls in la belle province.

A spokesperson for Loto-Québec confirmed the government-owned corporation’s interest in both in-person wagering at casinos and online sports betting, the latter of which the company offers via its Mise-o-jeu+ sportsbook.

Loto-Québec also offers a version of Mise-o-jeu that can be played at lottery retailers in the province, Canada’s second-most populous. And, like other provincial lotteries, Loto-Québec has been offering single-game sports betting since the federal government authorized that wagering in August 2021.
