 Due to a prohibition in the "Criminal Code", sports betting is offered only on a parimutuel basis, where bets must be placed on the outcomes of at least two events.Additionally, the BC gaming regulator has interpreted the "Criminal Code" as prohibiting bets on races and fights, which are allowed in other provinces.Bets on the outcomes of single non-sporting events are permitted; a recent example saw BCLC take bets on the outcome of the 2016 United States presidential election.
