Summary

On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, the interim Chief Executive Officer of Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), Dan Keene made his maiden appearance on the podcast.   We recorded our conversation with the gaming industry veteran, who spent 13 years with the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission before accepting the interim CEO role with the new AiGC body, as  more operators  continued to express interest in joining the open, regulated sports betting and online gaming market in the western Canada province.   Keene spoke with host Steve McAllister about the input he, Service Alberta/Red Tape Reduction Minister Dale Nally and others have received from the gambling industry on their way to  opening the application process . We also chatted about the AIGC’s current search for staff and other matters on the road to regulation.   Keene, who is optimistic for a late spring/early summer launch, discussed how Ontario's four-year-old open market influenced Alberta's leaders when they created the gaming framework there, as well as the tweaks made regarding responsible gambling, advertising, AML rules and other issues.
