Firepay includes Canadians in online gaming ban
The online e-wallet / payment processor Firepay has stunned the online gambling community by expanding its ban on online gambling transactions to include Canada.
Unlike the US Canada has no specific restrictions regarding online gambling, so the news has come as a big surprise. Firepay say the move has come about as a result of a change in their “merchant acceptance policy” for Canadian consumers.
Firepay has suggested they will stop processing Canadian payments to online gambling merchants by February 21st, 2007. However customers will be allowed to withdraw money from their gambling accounts until February 28th.
