That included <strong>Dale Nally<\/strong>, minister of <strong>Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction<\/strong>, confirming during a keynote speech the province will follow a model similar to <strong>Ontario<\/strong> sports betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/international\/everybody-praying-for-alberta-sports-betting-approval-this-year2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be very similar to Ontario because we\u2019re following their model,\u201d Nally said, noting how much the province loves sports and the Oilers. \u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, they built the roadmap. We\u2019ll massage it a little bit but it\u2019s been inspired by the experience in Ontario. It\u2019s going to be an open and free market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiple speakers throughout the Summit said commercial Alberta sportsbooks could launch by the end of the year.

Nally said commercial operators made it clear they did not want AGLC running the market because AGLC runs <strong>PlayAlberta<\/strong>, the province\u2019s online online gambling site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PlayAlberta launched in <strong>2021<\/strong> after Canadian lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/america\/rural-municipalities-of-alberta-seeks-charitable-gaming-overhaul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changed the criminal code to allow for single-event sports wagering.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s next for Alberta sports betting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4d0WZjXrn98&amp;t=29s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/feria24\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nally said the discussions on the market\u2019s framework are ongoing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That includes conversations with the province\u2019s <strong>45<\/strong> First Nations and commercial land-based casino operators. Those discussions will run through the summer, Nally said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe drew a line in the sand in 2019 and said we would be partners with indigenous communities,\u201d Nally said. \u201cWe want them to be a part of the prosperity.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What will be different in Alberta?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ontario, there is tension between First Nations and the provincial government, including a recent court case.&nbsp;This month, the <strong>Ontario Superior Court<\/strong> dismissed the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw\u00e0ke\u2018s case, which sought to defend its sovereignty in gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nally said he wants the First Nations involved as a form of \u201ceconomic reconciliation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said, unlike Ontario, he wants Alberta\u2019s <strong>29<\/strong> land-based casinos to be directly linked to the online market.
