Amusnet Latest Developer to Acquire Alberta Casino License

The Alberta casino industry just acquired a new addition in shape of Amusnet.

The developer has a broad focus that covers online slots, crash games, and instant-play titles.

This marks Amusnet’s second foray into the regulated Canadian iGaming space, having moved into Ontario in April.

Alberta’s regulated online gambling market has only been open since 13 July. However, it’s taken little time for some big players like Amusnet to grab a slice.

Alberta iGaming Move ‘Building Strong Partnerships’

Amusnet is following up its Ontario iGaming move with a logical step into the new Alberta online gambling market.

The move “further strengthens [our position] in Canada and reflects our continued commitment to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and integrity,” said Amusnet CEO, Julia Peeva-Sertov.

Robust regulation is key to Amusnet’s move. And, as with the Ontario move, the developer is keen to expand into land-based gambling “at a later stage”.

Amusnet has had a busy 2026, winning Online Slot Supplier of the Year in May and releasing a range of slots and table games.

Amusnet Eyeing up to 50 Operators

Software developers like Amusnet are keen to get into the fledgling Alberta iGaming market as it lets in its first 22 operators.

In addition to the government-regulated Play Alberta, some of the biggest online casino names will be regulated by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). Alberta went live on July 13 with Caesars, BetMGM, and theScore Bet among the lucky license recipients.

Amusnet isn’t the only software company to make inroads into the new iGaming markets in Canada.

Earlier this month, Bragg Gaming Group doubled down on its Ontario license with a move to Alberta. It’s also eyeing up possibilities south of the border, something that must be on the minds of the Amusnet hierarchy.

Alberta Move Combats Gray-Area Gambling

Ultimately, the AGLC has said, around 50 operators could go live in Alberta, offering a mix of online casino and sportsbook action.

Meanwhile, the Alberta government is betting on an industry that could raise over CA$100 million in tax dollars per year.

The aim is not only to raise tax bucks but also to divert activity away from unregulated gaming sites. Canadian provinces like Ontario and Alberta have seen hundreds of online gambling sites operating without licenses for years.

The alternatives like state-run Play Alberta don’t offer the same level of gambling for many. However, with regulated gambling here to stay, Albertans finally have a choice of games usually reserved for players in New Jersey, Michigan, or a handful of regulated states south of the border.
