Although it may be legal to gamble in the country where the Internet casino or sports betting company is located, it is illegal to place a bet, communicate information or transfer money in connection with a bet, from many places within Canada. Accordingly, Western Union has decided, as a matter of policy, that it will not permit its Internet service to be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with Internet gambling activities.
