customer service in government run poker

I wanted to sign up for PlayNow to score the easy 100% sign up bonus at the time. Alas it is BC residents only, I'm in Nova Scotia. Oh well, I did notice on their site though they said they would be launching poker and could play against people from coast to coast.

So from the web site I asked about poker and when it would be ready from coast to coast. I might be interested in getting in on this. So check out the exchange.

It looked like the poker link said from coast to coast could play on playnow. I'm in Nova Scotia, can I sign up?

Thanks
