Alberta plans private iGaming market as non-profit funding faces cuts
Alberta’s government plans to open its iGaming market to multiple private operators, while more than $1m in funding for non-profit organisations is due to be cut. Problem Gambling Resources Network could lose more than $130,000 in annual support, while four disability advocacy organisations face a combined funding loss of about $920,000; Recovery Alberta said the funds would be redirected to front-line services.
Potential market entry and reduced support funding affect Alberta operators and organisations providing gambling-related services.
