Alberta’s government is seeking proposals for new services and supports for gambling addiction as part of the recent launch of its regulated online gaming market.
The province, in a request for expressions of interest published on Monday, says it’s looking to fund services that will be in addition to what’s available through Recovery Alberta, such as a 21-day bed-based treatment program, and existing hotlines.
The Mental Health and Addiction Ministry said in a statement the new programs will be paid for through revenue the government is set to bring in from Alberta’s regulated iGaming system, which officially launched last month.
