GiG approved by AGLC for Alberta and launches on day one of market opening
GiG Software Plc (‘GiG’ or ‘the Company’), has secured registration from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), and subsequently launched one of its top tier partners, LuckyDays, into the newly regulated market on the opening day, marking another key milestone in its continued expansion across Canada’s regulated markets.
The approval and launch positions GiG to support operators entering Alberta in the province’s fully regulated online gaming market, reinforcing the Company’s strategy of early entry into newly regulated jurisdictions and its ability to scale rapidly alongside market openings.
GiG’s regulatory-first approach has been central to its global expansion, with its platform now licensed, certified or adapted across more than 31 regulated markets worldwide. This extensive footprint enables GiG to support partners with fast, compliant market entry, while leveraging a proven, repeatable deployment model that accelerates launches and reduces operational complexity across jurisdictions.
A key differentiator for GiG is its ability to scale partners efficiently across multiple markets and brands, supported by its modular PAM and sportsbook technology. This allows operators to enter new jurisdictions quickly, replicate successful market strategies, and expand their presence without duplicating infrastructure or increasing operational overhead.
This capability is already demonstrated in Canada, where GiG was an early entrant into Ontario and today has four brands live in the province, complemented now by our day one launch of LuckyDays in Alberta. The successful rollout highlights GiG’s ability to execute at pace in complex regulatory environments, providing a clear blueprint for expansion into Alberta and future regulated markets.
Alberta represents a significant growth opportunity, with the market expected to generate €440m–€625m in annual gross gaming revenue (GGR) over the coming years according to H2 Data. GiG’s registration ensures it is well positioned to support partners from day one, enabling rapid deployment, seamless compliance, and scalable growth as the market opens.
As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve across North America and globally, GiG remains focused on enabling its partners to scale efficiently, combining deep regulatory expertise with a fully integrated, AI-driven technology ecosystem designed to support long-term, sustainable growth.
Richard Carter, CEO at GiG, commented:
"Securing registration and subsequently launching with LuckyDays on day one in Alberta is another important milestone in our regulated market strategy. Our experience in Ontario and across all of our accessible, regulated markets globally, combined with our scalable technology, positions us strongly to support partners entering Alberta and future regulated markets."
