I remember the real concern from anyone paying attention when Darth Vader and friends raised BCLC's online gambling account limit from $250 to $9,999 way back in the darkest of dark days.
Why we worry?
Because of all that would, and obviously did, come to pass due to the gamble-happy recklessness of the BC Liberal government's money laundering, force multiplying, purple people-eating plutocratic (so-called) policy machine.
And as for now?
Well...
Tthe Dippers have gone way, way over the top in this regard, as reported by Bob Mackin:
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
That is the message from the B.C. Lottery Corporation, after it increased the limit that gamblers can keep in their PlayNow.com account from $9,999 to $250,000 — an increase of 2,400%. They can also transfer up to $100,000 per week, also a substantial 900% increase from the previous $9,999 limit...
Look.
I get that they are trying to keep big rollers from taking their soon-to-be detergent tinged moola elsewhere online.
And I get that by going way high, in terms dollar amounts, that this stuff will now actually be tracked.
But honestly, is this really the kind of money we want a piece of?

An inquiry into money laundering.
Ahhh, geez...
Thanks for the heads-up Keith.
.
how nuts are they. the government ought not to permit the increase in betting limits. :this is just another way to launder more money. EBY needs to straighten this out, NOW.
e.a.f.--
One has to wonder if the rationale is that this at least brings the high rollers into the above board reporting realm.
Or some such thing.
(don't forget that Big Rich's 250 to 9,999 took things right to the $10,000 reporting limit at the time)
