The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) board has approved Bede Gaming as suitable to hold a conditional one-year iGaming Goods or Services Supplier licence, ahead of Alberta’s regulated gambling market opening later this year.
As one of the first international platform providers to gain regulatory approval, Bede Gaming is now positioned to offer its platform and services to operators targeting Alberta, unlocking new commercial opportunities as the province launches its regulated iGaming ecosystem.
Fully SOC 2 certified, Bede Gaming provides operators with a streamlined entry into the market. Its comprehensive in-house product suite, combined with over 150 third-party integrations, equips businesses with the tools to scale efficiently and sustainably while navigating a newly regulated environment.
Having opened registrations in January 2026, Alberta’s iGaming market is expected to follow a growth trajectory similar to Ontario’s regulated sector, making it an attractive destination for international operators. Bede is proud to be among the first licensed providers preparing for the province’s official market launch.
Colin Cole-Johnson, CEO of Bede Gaming, commented:
“Bede is thrilled to receive conditional regulatory approval to operate in Alberta, putting us in a strong position to support operators as they expand into the province.
“We have a long-standing commitment to the Canadian iGaming market, and this marks an exciting new chapter. Being one of the first applicants recognised by the regulator allows us to offer a truly localised service, and our SOC 2 certification ensures partners can launch quickly and confidently.”
