Alberta’s regulated online gambling market officially launched from midnight on 13 July, allowing approved operators to offer online sports betting and igaming services in the Canadian province.

The rollout is being overseen by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), which has approved several international and Canadian gambling companies to operate within Alberta’s regulated online gambling framework.

Ahead of the launch, the AGLC approved registrations across multiple categories, including 58 critical gaming systems providers, 50 operators, 14 platform providers and 15 igaming goods or service suppliers.

Among the companies is casino entertainment group Caesars Entertainment, which has launched three online gaming platforms in Alberta: Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Caesars Palace Online Casino and Horseshoe Online Casino.
