(AsiaGameHub) – DraftKings has confirmed it will be among roughly 32 companies seeking entry into Alberta, Canada. As the province prepares to launch its online sports betting and iGaming industry, DraftKings is one of the leading players set to join the market.
Alberta Represents DraftKings’ Second Canadian Market Opportunity
The company will pursue entry via both its Sportsbook and Casino products, aiming to secure an early-mover advantage in the province. Commenting on these plans, Greg Karamitis, EVP and General Manager of Sports at DraftKings, shared:
“We’re excited about the opportunity to expand DraftKings’ footprint in Canada and bring our online sportsbook and casino experiences to customers in Alberta. With the anticipated launch aligning with the World Cup, hosted right here in North America, it’s a particularly exciting moment for sports fans in the province to engage with our platform.”
Alberta would become the 34th jurisdiction where DraftKings operates, and its second Canadian province—following Ontario, which was the first to implement local regulations for iGaming and sports betting.
DraftKings aims to launch on the universally set date of July 13, 2026, and it is far from the only company targeting this launch timeline.
