MGM-owned LeoVegas opts out of Alberta online casino industry
With as many as 70 online casinos expected to launch in Alberta, there are still several noteworthy operators – including some Ontario platforms – that are choosing not to go live in Alberta.
We are under two weeks away from legal online casinos officially launching in Alberta. While dozens of operators expect to go live in the province, some have reconsidered and have opted to pull the plug on their Alberta plans. That includes LeoVegas, a relatively well-known online casino owned by MGM Resorts International.
LeoVegas turns tide on Alberta online casino launch
LeoVegas has been live as a real money online casino Canada operator in Ontario since April 2022, complementing its mobile sportsbook in the province under parent company MGM Resorts, while also running the Royal Panda online casino platform.
The inference has long been that LeoVegas would expand into the Alberta online casino industry when the province welcomed casino apps on July 13. That plan, however, appears to have changed.
