The big question about Alberta’s plan to license and regulate a small army of online sportsbooks and casino sites is no longer “when?” but “who?”
The provincial government and the Alberta sports betting regulator have signaled that their regulated iGaming market will go live July 13. That is when any number of private-sector sportsbook and casino site operators can go live within the province’s new regulatory framework.
And judging from what the government and operators are saying, Alberta’s competitive iGaming market will be very competitive indeed.
Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Minister Dale Nally recently suggested to local media that more than 30 operators could participate.
