Oddin.gg adds Alberta to its North American regulatory map

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Oddin.gg, the full-stack B2B esports betting infrastructure provider, has received confirmation of a conditional iGaming Oddsmaker license in Alberta, clearing the company to begin operations when the province's regulated commercial market opens in July 2026.

The registration marks Oddin.gg's eighth licensed jurisdiction in North America, adding to its existing footprint in Arizona, New Jersey, Colorado, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, and Ontario.

Alberta will be Canada's second regulated commercial iGaming market after Ontario, which launched in April 2022. Analysts project annual market revenue could exceed CAD$700 million. For comparison, Ontario's total monthly cash wagers reached CAD$8.73 billion in February 2026, up 23 percent year over year. (source: iGaming Ontario)

The move follows the passage of Bill 48, the iGaming Alberta Act, which establishes regulatory oversight of online gambling through a new authority, the Alberta iGaming Corporation. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission will act as the regulator.

Oddin.gg has been building its regulatory team as it expands into new jurisdictions. The company recently named Martin Lycka VP of Institutional Affairs, a newly created role covering relationships with regulators, policymakers, and integrity bodies across markets.

"Securing this registration early reflects how seriously we take our compliance obligations in every jurisdiction we operate in,” said Lycka. “Operators in Alberta are going to be under a microscope when this market opens, and they need suppliers who've already done the work. Getting registered this early lets us have real conversations with operators now, not after the launch deadline.”

Todd McCully, Head of Sales at Oddin.gg sees a strong commercial case for early entry.

"Alberta watched Ontario for three years before writing its rules, and you can see it in the framework. It's something operators can plan against,” McCully said. “Add the youngest adult population in Canada, high incomes, and a real appetite for betting, and operators who show up early with the right content are looking at a serious revenue opportunity."

Operators and suppliers—including odds suppliers like Oddin.gg—are required to complete a multi-step compliance process before the market goes live; Oddin.gg's registration confirms its eligibility to proceed through the final due diligence process.
