Alberta is seeking proposals to fund additional gambling addiction services financed by revenues from its newly launched regulated iGaming market, which includes a 20% revenue cut from private operators and allocates 1% for social responsibility initiatives.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for increased demand on addiction services funded by iGaming revenues as Alberta regulates online gambling tightly while protecting social welfare. This creates room for service providers in mental health and addiction to engage with government-funded programs starting now.
