Regulated online casinos from the industry’s top brands should be live in Alberta sometime in the spring or summer.
That is according to comments made by Dan Keene, the interim CEO of the Alberta iGaming Corporation, on the Gaming News Canada podcast this week.
“I would say don’t wait,” Keene said about operators that want to join the market. “We’re targeting a spring/summer launch and there’s just tremendous momentum that’s happening. So stay tuned.”
Alberta will be the second Canadian province to legalize commercial online casinos after Ontario launched in 2022. Alberta does have legal iGaming through Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis, but it is estimated the black market accounts for 70% of all iGaming in the province.
