iGaming Strategy engagement

Stakeholders and Indigenous communities and organizations shared input to help inform Alberta's online gaming strategy.

Overview

Over the summer of 2024, the Alberta government received input from First Nation partners and existing land-based gaming operators, including Host First Nation casino operators, traditional casino operators, and racing entertainment centre operators. 

We received input throughout the summer and fall of 2025 in support of Phase 2 of Alberta’s iGaming strategy. Feedback was sought on the development of iGaming regulations, consumer protection, social responsibility standards and supports, opportunities for land-based operators to integrate iGaming offerings, and opportunities to effectively reduce red tape in the gaming industry.

Outcomes

Introducing a regulated iGaming market will reduce illegal online gaming and provide Albertans with a wider range of regulated, socially responsible iGaming options supported by strong consumer protections.  
  
Albertans will be able to rely on strong safeguards and social responsibility measures, such as a centralized self-exclusion system that enables individuals to manage their gambling activities. Strict rules to ensure operators are not targeting minors and high-risk individuals will be implemented.   

A regulated iGaming market will help Alberta’s government capture revenue currently lost to unregulated gambling sites, which can be used to fund programs and services Albertans rely on every day.
