Dozens of gaming companies have applied to operate in Alberta ahead of the province’s market launch, which is set for mid-July.
Several of them are familiar names to people who bet on sports and casino games, including BetMGM, FanDuel, PointsBet, and Score Media and Gaming.
Dan Keene, the CEO of the Alberta iGaming Corporation, which is working closely with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) to manage the new industry, said he’s excited by the enthusiasm surrounding Alberta’s launch. He said the agencies are currently sifting through the 35 applications to determine who ultimately will be allowed to operate in the province come July 13.
