playnow crashesAfter the crash and burn of the highly anticipated first North American online casino because of technical problems that resulted in at least 130 registered players having their private information compromised the BC Lottery Corporation and their government said today that they have no immediate plans to re-open anytime soon. The Minister of Housing and Social Development, Rich Coleman, was very vague about the cost to fix the technical errors and the time line in which gamblers may expect to wait before being able to begin play. He was lacking any real concern about the problem or the cost to fix and said there was no huge loss of revenue because they did not expect much intake the first couple of days anyway.

On July 15th, the B.C. lottery commission opened the doors to PlayNow.com after spending 7.3 million dollars to revamp the site with better graphics and games only to crash after two hours of its debut. Many Canadian and American players logged in and signed up to get their first glimpse of an online casino developed and marketed just for them but opening their doors to early before checking all the components and possible glitches lead to a severe crash and closure of the site. As of now 2 extra servers have been added according to Rich Coleman and an independent party will be verifying the site as secure and ready to open back up. With the issue of player privacy being in the forefront of PlayNow.com, it will be a wait and see attitude now before many online gamblers venture in and register an account.
