The site Bet99 was advertising agressively in hockey games, including playoffs, on french broadcasts, with UFC George St-Pierre as their public face. This has been much talked about in Quebec media, both social and traditional. I wouldn't be surprised if it has prompted this initiative from Loto-Quebec.
On the other hand, it is not the first time Quebec government has tried to shut down competition, and it has failed since internet is federal jurudiction. Hence this common front, but I trust the federal governement to not get anything done, as usual.
