"Alberta's government has been preparing for market expansion for months as officials look to create a framework similar to Ontario's system, which opened its regulated online betting market in April 2022."
"The commission's update also identified 22 approved Critical Gaming Service Providers, including major industry suppliers such as IGT and Light and Wonder, which provide technology and gaming infrastructure for sportsbook and casino operators."
"Provincial officials believe a competitive market could generate roughly CAD $100 million in annual tax revenue while giving consumers more regulated options."
"Some companies have already started collecting customer registrations before launch day, including BetRivers, Caesars Sportsbook, DraftKings and theScore Bet."
Alberta's regulated online gambling market is scheduled to launch on July 13, with 28 operators approved, including major brands like DraftKings and Caesars Sportsbook. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission aims to shift gray-market gambling into the legal system. The market is expected to generate approximately CAD $100 million in annual tax revenue. Some operators have begun collecting customer registrations ahead of the launch, coinciding with significant sporting events like the World Cup and CFL season.
