Any volunteers? Alberta’s government is looking for board members to oversee the entity that the province will use to launch a competitive market for online sports betting and internet casino gambling.

That entity, the new Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), was established by legislation passed earlier this year and will serve as the legal vehicle through which the new Alberta sports betting and iGaming market is run.

Or, as the online recruitment posting says, the AiGC is there to “develop, undertake, organize, conduct, and manage online lottery on behalf of the Government of Alberta.”

“The AiGC will establish a competitive, innovative, responsible and sustainable iGaming market in Alberta by conducting and managing Alberta’s iGaming market, promoting responsible gaming and consumer protection, and generating revenue for the province,” it adds.
