Question by e f: Is sports betting legal in Canada and do you have to pay tax on winnings?
The type of sports betting i’m referring to is placing bets on offshore internet sites.
Many people aren’t 100% sure if placing a bet is legal and if you have to pay tax in Canada, so I’d like some solid answers if anyone knows.

Yes and yes. It is legal to wager on sports online with offshore sportsbooks in Canada. Yes, you do have to pay tax on your winnings, but you can claim your losses against them. You will find my recommendations for reputable sportsbooks, and yes I use them myself! @ http://GamblingReviewsSite.com I live in Ontario and have had no problems over the past 10 years with any of them.
