Alberta sets 13 July launch for private online gambling market
Alberta’s government has set 13 July 2026 for the launch of its multi-operator online gambling market, according to a letter from minister Dale Nally to industry operators. Licensed operators will pay a 20% tax on gross gaming revenue, after deductions of 2% for First Nations initiatives and 1% for social responsibility programmes.
Operators must register, contract with Alberta iGaming Corporation and connect to the central self-exclusion system before launch.
