Alberta’s minister of Service Alberta and red tape reduction, Dale Nally, travelled to Las Vegas this week to promote the province’s newly regulated online gambling market and connect with international industry players.
Nally is attending the Global Gaming Expo, running from Sept. 27 to Oct. 1, where he is showcasing Alberta’s regulated iGaming framework and discussing player protections and social responsibility measures with regulators and business leaders from across the industry.
“Alberta has quickly become one of the most closely watched iGaming markets in North America,” Nally said in a statement. He described the expo as a chance to present the province’s approach, learn from other experts and regulators, and apply those lessons as Alberta works to strengthen player protections and build what he called a responsible, competitive market.
Panel Appearance and Industry Meetings
On Sept. 29, Nally was scheduled to take part in a panel discussion focused on the launch of Alberta’s provincial iGaming market. Following the panel, he planned to hold a series of meetings and roundtable discussions with industry stakeholders through the middle of the week before returning to Edmonton on Thursday.
Market Snapshot Since Launch
Alberta’s regulated iGaming market officially began operating on July 13, 2026. Government data shows that as of Sept. 14, 31 iGaming websites were active within the province’s regulated system.
The Las Vegas trip comes as Alberta continues to position its online gambling framework as a model for other jurisdictions, with provincial officials citing ongoing efforts around consumer protection and responsible gambling practices as the market matures.
