EveryMatrix Receives Conditional Licensing Approval From Alberta Gaming Commission, Clearing Path to Canada’s Second iGaming Market
EveryMatrix has received conditional licensing approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, positioning the company to enter Alberta when the province launches its regulated iGaming market in July 2026.
EveryMatrix announced on May 19 that it has received conditional licensing approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, allowing the company to offer its iGaming technology platform and casino content to licensed operators in Alberta. The approval positions EveryMatrix to enter what is expected to become Canada’s second regulated iGaming territory after Ontario, with Alberta’s market projected to launch in July 2026.
EveryMatrix is a Malta-headquartered B2B iGaming software provider that offers a casino and sports platform technology stack, game aggregation, and content through its in-house studio Fantasma Games. The company already holds licenses in Ontario since 2022 and in multiple U.S. jurisdictions including New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The Alberta approval continues EveryMatrix’s expansion across North America and reinforces its position as a tier-one supplier in the region.
What Alberta’s iGaming Launch Means
Alberta is the second-most populous province in Canada and has been developing its regulated iGaming framework for several years. The province’s move to allow competitive online casino and sports betting operators is modeled in part on Ontario’s successful April 2022 launch, which became one of the most closely watched regulated iGaming market openings in the world. Ontario now has more than 80 licensed operators and served as the template that Alberta and other provinces are studying.
EveryMatrix said it has already secured commercial agreements in Alberta for both its platform technology and in-house content, meaning the conditional approval is the final regulatory hurdle before it can begin serving those clients. At launch, EveryMatrix will offer Fantasma Games content as well as its broader aggregated catalog of third-party titles. The company’s Chief Regulatory Officer said the Alberta approval demonstrates the company’s commitment to regulated market expansion in North America, where it now holds licenses across six major jurisdictions. The opening of Alberta’s iGaming market is expected to attract significant interest from international operators who have already established themselves in Ontario and are looking to scale across Canada’s most attractive provinces.
