Sweden-Listed Developer Deploys Over 50 Games as Province Becomes Second Open iGaming Market in Canada

Swedish game developer Gaming Corps has officially announced its day-one entry into Canada, Alberta’s newly regulated iGaming market. The historic launch took place today, July 13, 2026, marking the official opening of Alberta’s highly competitive, private online gambling sector.

Gaming Corps’ entry builds on its rapid expansion across North America. Over 50 of the studio’s certified premium titles, including the widely popular “Pigs & Pots” series, are now available to players in the province. The games will roll out through major top-tier operating partners, including BetMGM, bet365, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, PENN Entertainment, Tonybet, and Betty.

Expanding Across the Canadian iGaming Frontier

Alberta’s transition from a gray-market model to a formal licensing framework under the oversight of the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) marks a critical shift in Canada’s online gambling landscape. Alberta is now the second Canadian province, following Ontario, to establish an open commercial market.

The province’s new regulated market is projected to reach approximately CAD 900 million in annual gross gaming revenue, driven by high player engagement rates. By securing day-one entry, Gaming Corps has positioned itself alongside major operators to capitalize on this high-yield audience.

  • Pigs & Pots Collection: The developer’s highly recognized series featuring high-engagement mechanics.

Executive Commentary: Achieving Scale in North America

Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, highlighted the strategic focus and internal dedication required to tick off two major Canadian licenses in under a year:

“We have since day one had a strong focus on regulatory compliance and growing our business in regulated markets. With the great start we have had in Ontario, we now hope to see the same momentum in Alberta.

“We are very proud of obtaining another license from a key regulated market in the industry, and our ability to tick off two important Canadian licenses in just six months shows the dedication and focus in our team. We strive to be a serious tier-one provider of varied and tailored content in North America, and hope this will create further recognition with major US-based operators operating in both the US and Canada.”

With more than 30 regulated jurisdictions globally, Gaming Corps’ rapid certification in Alberta underscores its compliance-first strategy, paving the way for continued B2B expansion throughout North American online lobbies.
