• Alberta officials report that interest from operators has surpassed initial expectations, with around 70 companies eager to enter the market.
• A total of 50 gaming brands are currently registered, but operators must finalize operating agreements with Alberta iGaming Corporation before commencing operations.
• While Alberta anticipates robust participation from the industry, it emphasizes that player satisfaction, safety, and responsible gambling practices—not just revenue—will determine success.

The count of registered igaming operators that have completed their initial fee payments to Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC), in preparation for the regulated market launch on July 13, now stands at 46, a decrease from the previous total of 47, according to the most recent registration updates.

Grizzly’s Quest No Longer on AGLC Registration List

Grizzly’s Quest, a brand under Cadtree Limited, has been removed from the AGLC registration list, as first reported by Legal Sports Report. The AGLC updates this list weekly on Fridays.

Cadtree Ltd. retains registration for four brands in Alberta—Jackpot City, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune, and Spin Casino—which are also licensed operators in Ontario.

Cadtree Ltd. is a subsidiary of Super Group, a prominent global online gambling enterprise associated with the Betway sportsbook and Spin online casino brands.

Currently, the total registered brands with AGLC is actually 50, with Caesars and Penn Entertainment contributing three brands each to this tally.

50 Brands Positioned to Launch

Companies that have registered with AGLC are expected to complete a dual-phase setup and sign an operating agreement with the newly formed Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC).

The AiGC plays a crucial role in managing the overarching commercial framework, overseeing gaming revenue collection from operators, and disbursing Alberta’s share of these revenues to the province.

During the SBC Summit Canada event in Toronto last May, Dale Nally, Alberta’s Minister of Service and Red Tape Reduction, revealed that up to 70 operators have shown interest in entering Alberta’s gambling market.

AiGC Agreements Still Necessary Before Officials Move Forward

“I’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the operators—I’m not suggesting there haven’t been obstacles, as there have been, but the consensus is that AiGC and AGLC are collaborating effectively with the industry, engaging in consultations, and are readily available to assist everyone involved,” he stated.

“The level of interest from operators is exceeding what we had anticipated.”

Nally emphasized that the success of the initiative will not be gauged solely on operator interest.

“Revenue will not be our benchmark for success,” he remarked. “What will define our success is the feedback we receive. Did players enjoy their experience? Was it safe? Was it conducted responsibly?”
