Amusnet Gaming secures Alberta license for Canadian expansion

Software provider Amusnet Gaming is consistently pursuing its expansion course on the North American continent. The company announced that it has received a conditional license from Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). This approval allows the provider to supply its digital casino content to licensed operators in the Canadian province of Alberta. For the company, this is a significant milestone as it now gains a foothold in another major region of Canada.

This regulatory success comes as no surprise, as Amusnet already successfully entered the Ontario market in early 2026. The new licensing in Alberta solidifies the company's presence in the country and is part of a broader strategy to grow in regulated markets with high requirements for security and integrity. The online gambling market in Alberta was officially launched recently, on July 13, 2026, to create a controlled framework for digital gaming.

Numbers and facts

The AGLC serves as the top regulatory authority in Alberta and monitors compliance for all industry players. The market launch on July 13, 2026, marks a turning point for the province, which was previously less strictly regulated. To obtain the conditional license, Amusnet Gaming had to prove that its technological standards, security measures, and player protection protocols meet strict Canadian requirements. The company emphasized that the regulatory foundation in Alberta is essential for its long-term growth strategy in North America.

Julia Peeva-Sertov, CEO of Amusnet Gaming, expressed her delight regarding the new licensing:

"Securing a conditional licence in Alberta marks another significant step forward towards Amusnet Gaming’s expansion strategy in North America. Following our successful licensing in Ontario, this achievement further strengthens our position in Canada and reflects our continued commitment to the highest standards of regulatory compliance and integrity."

Background

With the re-regulation of the iGaming market, the province of Alberta aims to improve player protection while securing state revenue. Similar to Ontario, a model is being followed where private providers can operate under strict state supervision. Amusnet Gaming now plans to bring its diverse portfolio of games and technological solutions to the province to establish partnerships with local operators. The focus is on sustainable growth and identifying further opportunities in North America.

Why it matters for German players

For German players, Amusnet's expansion into Canada has no direct impact on their gaming options, but it illustrates a global trend toward strict regulation. In Germany, the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) is the central authority monitoring the market since the Interstate Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). German customers should ensure they play exclusively with providers listed on the official GGL whitelist. Only there are strict protection measures guaranteed, such as the monthly deposit limit of 1,000 euros via the LUGAS system and the 1 euro per spin stake limit on virtual slots. Providers with licenses from Malta or Curacao do not offer this legal protection in Germany and are considered illegal offerings.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

German casinos with a GGL license benefit indirectly from the global professionalization of providers like Amusnet. When a software manufacturer receives licenses in demanding markets like Alberta or Ontario, it shows that its systems are robust enough to meet complex compliance requirements. This often facilitates certification for the German market, as technical hurdles are similarly high. For German operators, this means a larger selection of high-quality and legally secure games for their portfolios, provided the supplier also holds authorization in this country.
