The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is currently seeking bids from companies to bring casino games online. The AGLC estimates there is as much as $150 million being made annually in the online gaming market from Albertans’ activity. “Anywhere between $120 and 150 million is currently being played by the citizens of Alberta on what we call grey market sites or sites that are situated either off-shore or in other locations,” explains Bill Robinson, AGLC’s CEO.
The agency is asking for proposals on a government-run online gaming system before February 26. Based on similar moves in B.C. and Manitoba, Robinson says there’s definitely an appetite for such a system here.
