- Alberta officials say operator interest has exceeded expectations, with as many as 70 companies expressing interest in entering the market
- Fifty gaming brands are registered overall, though operators must still complete operating agreements with Alberta iGaming Corporation before going live
- Alberta expects strong industry participation, but says player experience, safety and responsible gambling – not revenue – will define success
The number of igaming operators that have registered and paid their initial fees with Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) to launch when the regulated market goes live July 13 is now at 46, down from 47, according to the latest list of registrations.
Grizzly’s Quest Removed from AGLC Registration List
Grizzly’s Quest, a Cadtree Limited brand, is no longer listed on the AGLC list, reported first in Legal Sports Report. The AGLC list is updated every Friday.
Cadtree Ltd. still has four brands registered in Alberta – Jackpot City, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune and Spin Casino. Those four brands are licensed as operators in Ontario as well.
Cadtree Ltd. is owned by Super Group, the global online gambling company behind Betway sportsbook and Spin online casino brands.
The total brands registered with AGLC is actually 50. Caesars and Penn Entertainment have three brands registered under their listings.
50 Brands Set To Go Live
Companies that have registered with AGLC still have to finish the dual-step set-up process and sign an operating agreement with the new Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC).
The AiGC manages the commercial framework, receives gaming revenue from operators, and remits Alberta’s share of revenues to the province.
At the SBC Summit Canada in Toronto, in May, Dale Nally, Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction of Alberta, said he was hearing as many as 70 operators were looking to enter the Alberta market.
AiGC Agreements Still Required Before Launch
“I’ve had nothing but positive reports from the operators – I’m not saying there has been roadblocks, there have been – but what I’m hearing is that the AiGC and AGLC are working with the industry, they’re consulting, collaborating, and they’re available to work with everyone,” he said.
“I think that the number of operators is exceeding our expectations.”
Nally added operator interest in the market won’t be how Alberta measures success.
“Revenue is not even our measure of success,” he said. “Our measure of success is going to be the feedback. Did they have a fun experience? Was it a safer experience? Was it a responsible experience?”
