The Alberta government has decided against modifying its current gambling laws, despite increasing challenges from illegal gambling activities and emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency. This decision follows the publication of a report by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) that highlighted the rise of illegal gambling and its threat to the regulated industry. The AGLC identified the use of cryptocurrencies and other novel methods as complicating enforcement efforts. However, the government signaled its intent to maintain the existing regulatory framework without amendments at this time. The report aimed to assess the gambling landscape and provide recommendations, but no changes to legislation have been proposed or implemented. This stance suggests that Alberta will continue to rely on current policies to address illegal gambling issues in the province.
