Alberta, Canada, Prepares to Crack Down on Illegal Online Casinos After 13 October
🔹 The province's transition period for operators that previously operated without a local license will end. By 13 October they must legalize or cease operations. The minister responsible for iGaming, Dale Nally, said that after that the authorities will begin taking action against those who remain in the market illegally.
🔹 Possible measures under consideration include orders to cease operations and pressure on payment intermediaries that serve illegal platforms. Authorities are also discussing blocking access to such apps and their advertisements with Google, Apple, and social media companies.
🔹 Nally did not disclose a specific action plan so as not to warn operators in advance. A separate problem remains their ability to return under new names and IP addresses. At the same time, by 13 October the number of legal sites in Alberta is expected to increase from about 35 to 60.
