Alberta Passes Bill to Launch Regulated iGaming Market by 2026

[MissExposé]

Alberta's legislature has passed Bill 48, the iGaming Alberta Act, paving the way for a regulated online gambling market. The act establishes the Alberta iGaming Corporation to oversee private operators under the supervision of Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). Once it receives Royal Assent, the market is expected to launch in early 2026. The legislation aims to enhance consumer protection, generate tax revenue, and reduce reliance on unregulated platforms. A centralized self-exclusion system will be implemented to promote responsible gambling. This move positions Alberta as Canada's second province, after Ontario, to offer a competitive iGaming environment.
