The BC lottery corporation has not yet revived its online gaming site, and still doesn’t want talk about it. So what’s behind the shutdown? Theresa Lalonde reports.


If you’re looking to use BC lottery’s new online Casino, it’s still not in the cards. The site crashed just hours after last Thursday’s opening. BCLC claims higher than expected volume is to blame. Computer experts say this has the signs about bottle neck, a virus that lays the door into your computer, and hundred others like it, until a hacker decides to activate, sending a mass load of information to a target. You won’t know its there and you’ll still be able to use the computer.

“So you boat your arm, not to go off the gambling website like this, might be, and then you say look, you either pay us ex amount of, ten of thousands, hundreds of thousands dollars, so we shut Q down.”

You won’t know if your computer is been used by hackers this way, but there are things you can do to decrease the risk. Ignore email from someone you don’t know, install anti-virus, anti-spam software and put a firewall in place update that software regularly and the most important thing, shut down your computer when not in use. The BCLC said in an email there’s no evidence of hacking, but whether it’s a virus or volume. Vincalek believe they launched the site without being ready.

“It’s hard to imagine that after all the development which I assume they put in, after all the test thing which I assume they put in, few hours later they would go down.”

It appears that BCLC know it need help with their content, this notice seeking a web manager closes Tuesday afternoon. They request for propose was posted at the end of June.
