一些使用不列颠哥伦比亚省彩票公司PlayNow网站的玩家说，他们已经发现一个软件出现了故障或漏洞，这会使得他们更容易赚钱。CBC新闻也了解到这一消息。
对于玩游戏的一方，玩家们说：如果他们知道怎么一回事，在网站的赌场玩百家乐游戏的网上赌客就很容易获得$ 100。彩票公司代表人说：该网站出现的所谓明显漏洞，实际上是一个促销活动，新注册的玩家可以从彩票公司自己的账户中获得100美元的奖金存款。
如果一个玩家将他自己的100元存款打入自己的账户，进而玩百家乐游戏，并且在庄家和玩家两方各下注$ 50，那么他的收支基本上相抵。网络营销Maffin托德说：“我无法想象这是一个营销策略”。
他自动限定为免费100元存款奖金，因为他下注赢$ 100。在这一点上，如果玩家停止不玩了，那么，在上交2.50元的佣金后，在他的帐户上至少有197.50美元。打了几分钟后，玩家可以将自己银行帐户的全部金额拿回，并且可以带走额外的$ 97.50。
根据网上营销专家托德Maffin的解释，这是一种促销手段，但是没有任何意义。
Maffin说：“我无法想象这是一个营销策略。花费近100元来吸引一个客户，其实有更便宜的方式可以做到这一点，比如买谷歌广告。”
在公元前，政府的网上赌场和赌博网站，那些关于百家乐游戏的问题是最具有争议性的，在加拿大则最为明显。
当PlayNow.com赌博网站被玩家们发现，在不经意间也让其他玩家私下得知，使得其在七月推出的几天之内连续关闭了七个星期。134名玩家的帐户受到干扰，其中12人的个人信息被其他人看到。官员没有透露是否在此期间有任何款项被挪用。在随后的36天，彩票公司的损失估计达到5.4亿美元。

Lottery Website May Have New Fault
Some people using the B.C. Lottery Corporation‘s PlayNow website say they have found either a software glitch or a loophole that is giving them easy money, CBC News has learned.
By playing one hand, online gamblers playing baccarat on the site’s casino can reliably make nearly $100, if they know how, the players say. A lottery spokesperson said that for the site, the apparent loophole is actually part of a promotion, in which newly registered players get a $100 bonus deposit in their accounts from the lottery corporation,
If a player deposits $100 of his own money into an account, visits a baccarat game and bets $50 on both the banker and the player, then he essentially breaks even. Online marketer Todd Maffin said, “I can’t imagine this was a marketing ploy”。
He automatically qualifies for the free $100 deposit bonus, because he was wagered $100. At that point, if the player stops, he then has at least $197.50 in his account, after a $2.50 commission. After a few minutes play, the player can transfer the whole amount to his own bank account and walk away with the extra $97.50.
According to online marketer Todd Maffin, the explanation that it is a promotional tool does not make sense.
Maffin said, “I can’t imagine this was a marketing ploy. To spend almost $100 to get a customer ，there are cheaper ways to do it, [such as] buy a Google ad.”
For the B.C. government’s online casino gambling site, the baccarat issue is the latest controversy, the first of its kind in Canada.
After PlayNow.com was found players were, inadvertently able to get access to other players’ private a, it was shut down within days of its July launch for seven weeks. 134 players’ accounts were affected by the glitch, 12 of whom had personal information viewed by others. Officials did not reveal if, during the breach, any money was misappropriated. during the 36-day shutdown that followed, the lottery corporation lost an estimated $5.4 million.
