GGPoker declines Alberta launch as PokerStars and 888 offer poker
GGPoker said it would not launch peer-to-peer poker in Alberta while the province’s rules restrict play to local users. 888 Poker began regulated operations last month, and PokerStars relaunched on FanDuel on 2 November; the report said Alberta and Ontario were expected to announce shared liquidity, while Canada’s Supreme Court considers international player pooling.
Poker operators must weigh Alberta’s local-only rules against launch opportunities and possible shared liquidity with Ontario.
