BCLC, the only legal gaming operator in the province, is the latest authorized gaming operator to partner with the league.

Last year, the CFL named FanDuel as its first authorized gaming operator and sportsbook partner.

Tyler Keenan, the CFL’s chief revenue officer, said: “Responsible sports wagering, and the entertainment it provides, is an important part of the future of CFL fandom.

“Our work with BCLC allows fans to deepen their connection to the league, but more importantly, it strengthens our efforts to support British Columbians and the community.”
