Evolution today announced an expansion of its presence in Alberta following the launch of the province’s regulated commercial online gaming market.

Alberta has transitioned from a single-operator online gaming model, where regulated online gaming was available exclusively through the government-run PlayAlberta platform, to a competitive regulated market that enables licensed commercial operators to offer online gaming to players in the province.

Evolution has supplied its industry-leading Live Casino and online slot content to players in Alberta through AGLC’s PlayAlberta platform since 2021. As the market enters its next phase, Evolution is extending access to its portfolio through agreements with licensed commercial operators, bringing its Live Casino games, game shows, First Person titles and online slots to a broader range of players in the province.

The opening of Alberta's commercial online gaming market marks an important milestone for Alberta’s online gaming market, supporting greater player choice within a regulated framework and enabling more operators to offer Evolution’s premium online gaming experiences.

Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer Evolution North America, said: “Evolution has been proud to serve players in Alberta since 2021 through PlayAlberta. The opening of the market to commercial operators represents an exciting next step, and we are pleased to expand our presence as more operators enter the province.”

Claesson continued: “A well-regulated, competitive market benefits players by increasing choice and access to high-quality entertainment. We look forward to supporting our operator partners and continuing to bring Evolution’s world-class games to players across Alberta.”

The expansion reflects Evolution’s continued commitment to regulated markets and its strategy of supporting newly regulated jurisdictions from day one, while reinforcing the company’s focus on supporting the growth of online gaming across North America.
