Alberta prepares 2026 igaming launch as other provinces weigh AGCO model

Licences & markets

Alberta is preparing to launch an open regulated igaming market in 2026, while the timing remains unconfirmed. A Canadian Gaming Association representative said the province still has regulatory stages to complete; an unnamed industry source suggested other provinces could consider agreements with Ontario’s AGCO to accelerate their own launches.

Potential use of Ontario’s regulator could shape how other Canadian provinces establish regulated online gambling markets.
