Alberta iGaming swells to 50 licensed sites as unregulated market deadline passes

Tuesday, Oct. 13, was a significant milestone for the new regulated Alberta iGaming market. Not only did it mark three months since the initial wave of licensed operators started taking bets in Canada’s second commercial online gambling province, but it also ended the grace period that provincial regulators gave to previously unregulated operators. Tuesday was the deadline by which any online casinos or sportsbooks that had been taking bets from Albertans before July 13 had to either move to the regulated market or shut down their platform in the province.
