Major poker brands take different approaches to Alberta amid liquidity restrictions

Key Takeaways GGPoker opted not to launch Alberta poker despite being registered to enter the province’s regulated market, and will not do so unless international liquidity is available. In contrast, PokerStars on FanDuel followed 888 Poker this week by starting to offer ring-fenced peer-to-peer games in the province. Like Ontario, Alberta’s P2P poker pool is limited to within provincial borders. The two provinces are expected to announce shared liquidity soon, while the Supreme Court of Canada considers its decision on international player pooling.
