iGaming Strategy engagement

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

Overview

We have a mandate to develop and implement an online gaming strategy for Alberta. Over the summer of 2024, the Alberta government first engaged with First Nation partners and existing land-based gaming operators, including Host First Nation casino operators, traditional casino operators, and racing entertainment centre operators.

We will continue to engage with these stakeholders and partners throughout the summer and fall of 2025, in support of Phase 2 of Alberta’s iGaming strategy. Input will be sought on the development of regulations to support consumer protection, social responsibility, and opportunities to effectively reduce red tape in the gaming industry.

Indigenous engagement

Conversations with Indigenous partners and communities will continue during Phase 2 of the engagement.

Stakeholder engagement

In Phase 2, we will be engaging on the continued implementation of Alberta’s iGaming strategy – including the development of iGaming regulations, social responsibility standards and supports, opportunities for land-based operators to integrate iGaming offerings, and opportunities to reduce red tape in the gaming industry.

Discussion topics

This continued engagement will support Alberta’s iGaming strategy. Discussion questions will support conversations on:

  • the development of iGaming regulations
  • opportunities for Host First Nations and non-Host First Nations participation in an open iGaming market
  • social responsibility standards and supports
  • opportunities to reduce red tape in the gaming industry
  • information provided to stakeholders on the progress made toward implementing Alberta’s iGaming strategy

Outcomes

Phase 2 engagement is a continuation of the initial engagement that occurred in 2024. Feedback will help support Alberta’s iGaming strategy, including the development of regulations related to social responsibility, consumer protection, and red tape reduction.
