DraftKings targets Alberta amid Canada gambling case
"DraftKings announced its intent to launch its online sports betting and casino products in Alberta, Canada, pending licensure and regulatory approval. If granted approval, DraftKings Sportsbook and Casino intends to be available on the province's anticipated universal launch date of July 13, 2026, as set by the AGLC."
"Alberta would represent the second province in Canada where DraftKings operates mobile sports betting and casino products, alongside Ontario. It would also be the company's 34th jurisdiction in North America for online sports betting."
"The planned debut arrives while Canada's courts are still debating whether Ontario's competitive model fits within federal law. Several provincial lottery corporations challenged Ontario's framework, arguing private operators should not be allowed to participate under the current structure."
