Alberta's iGaming market opens doors with Bede Gaming leading the charge

Alberta is preparing to launch its regulated iGaming market, with registrations for operators and software providers opening in January 2026. The province aims to build a competitive sector similar to Ontario's thriving online casino industry. One of the first companies to secure a license is Bede Gaming, a well-established name in the Canadian market. Bede Gaming has obtained a conditional one-year iGaming Goods or Services Supplier license from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC). This approval places the company among the first licensed providers in the province's newly regulated market.

The firm's long-term investment in Canada's iGaming sector is now paying off, with Alberta offering fresh opportunities. Operators partnering with Bede Gaming will gain access to its in-house products and over 150 third-party integrations. The company's SOC 2 certification also ensures a faster launch for its partners in the new market. Colin Cole-Johnson, Bede Gaming's CEO, confirmed the company's enthusiasm about entering Alberta. With the AGLC license in place, Bede Gaming is ready to provide its services and solutions to operators as soon as the market goes live.

Alberta's move to regulate iGaming follows Ontario's successful model, creating a structured and competitive environment. Bede Gaming's early license positions it as a key player in the province's emerging market. The company's existing infrastructure and certifications will help operators enter the space efficiently once regulations take full effect.
