The Canadian province of Nova Scotia is strongly considering boosting its current online gambling offering and critics are not happy—the ALC also offers online sports betting for its pro line sports lottery.

According to a report in the Halifax Chronicle Herald, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation is accepting applications for an online gambling website solution provider.

"An announcement that the Atlantic Lottery Corp. is seeking a supplier of a new Internet player account-management and sports betting platform is posted on the corporation’s website," said thechronicleherald.ca.

"The corporation has provided few details on the specifics of this new platform, citing competitive concerns, but the deadline for submitting proposals is May 6."

Although a brief inspection of the corporation's site, www.alc.ca, failed to yield the aforementioned announcement, The Chronicle Herald does have the ALC quoted as saying, "In order to remain relevant to our players, we must deliver what the player wants."
