Alberta’s iGaming stampede officially starts in July.
Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Minister Dale Nally sent a letter to stakeholders on Monday, informing them that the province’s regulated online gambling market will launch on July 13.
That was the date suggested by recent communications from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), the regulator of the forthcoming Alberta sports betting and iGaming market.
Now, though, the date for private-sector operators of online sportsbooks and casino sites to go live in Alberta’s new regulatory framework is confirmed: July 13.
That’s according to what was written by Nally, the province’s de facto iGaming minister, in his letter to stakeholders.
Covers has reviewed a copy of that letter, which was first reported by Gaming News Canada.
When the new iGaming market goes live, it will bring the number of provincially regulated iGaming sites in Alberta from one, the AGLC’s Play Alberta, to many, including big-name brands such as bet365, DraftKings, and FanDuel.
More to come.
