During Strictly Legal Podcast #3, I delve into the issue of complusive gambling in Canada. Professor Joe Kelly is a professor of Business Law at the State University of New York College in Buffalo, New York, and is considered to be a worldwide expert on Gaming Law and problem gamblers. He joined me on the April 26th/07 episode of Strictly Legal to share some insight on this topic.

In this podcast, I discussed the way in which compulsive gambling is treated in Ontario and in other provinces, and the role that the government plays in the abundance of gambling outlets and the subsequent issues, specifically gambling addiction.

From a legal standpoint, I mentioned a few interesting cases which highlight how compulsive gambling can lead to law suits as gamblers sue the casinos they believe exploited their addictions.
