Four Crown lottery corporations say it is Ontario conducting gaming outside Ontario. Every other province's monopoly turns on the answer.

Around 300 of the roles are in Stoke-on-Trent, where bet365 is the biggest private employer, and 40 across Gibraltar and Malta. Voluntary redundancies come first. Every one of the five largest British gambling firms has now cut staff since remote gaming duty rose 19 points.
