Alberta to Require stop to 'Unregulated' Sports Betting Before IGaming Launches Alberta's future strategies for online betting may be really black and white, with little room for the shades of "grey" that some operators are currently using to take bets in the Western Canadian province. - Alberta launched draft rules for its upcoming iGaming market that need operators to stop all unregulated sports betting activity. - The requirements set stringent requirements for operators, consisting of gamer age and location checks, self-exclusion tools, and anti-money laundering procedures. - Unlike Ontario, Alberta plans to explicitly prohibit grey market activity from the beginning to rapidly move wagering onto provincially regulated platforms. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) issued an iGaming "bulletin" on Jan. 13 that announced the regulator published "standards and requirements" that will use to operators planning to participate in the province's competitive market for online gambling. That market has yet to launch, however the publication of the guidelines and the current start of the registration duration for operators reveal the province is working on it. Registration will be one of the 2 key steps for would-be iGaming operators in Alberta, which prepares to permit several private-sector operators to offer online sports betting and Alberta online gambling establishments. The other is signing an agreement with a new entity, the Alberta iGaming Corporation, more outlining an operator's duties. Included in the initial draft of guidelines are requirements for gamers to be 18 years or older, physically situated in Alberta, and able to self-exclude themselves from all sites in the province. There is much, far more as well, consisting of anti-money laundering and suspicious wagering-related standards.
