FanDuel Poker is now live in Alberta.

🇨🇦 PokerStars on FanDuel is now live in a second Canadian province. 🇨🇦

PokerStars on FanDuel is making its official comeback to Alberta.

The newly regulated market saw 888 jump in first, but PokerStars is poised to join the fray very soon. Players hoping to dust off their old PokerStars accounts will be disappointed: “Like in Ontario, players will need to create new accounts, and there will be no migration of old PokerStars accounts to the new platform.”

GGPoker pulls out of Alberta.

It cites its limited player pool as a reason, but so far remains in Ontario, which you would think would suffer from the same problems.

Stake goes legit in Alberta, but online poker players will have to wait.

Stake Canada Ltd, a subsidiary of the Australian Stake Gaming and Easygo Group, has just scored iGaming registration from Alberta’s regulator, the AGLC. This means Stake will be able to launch a licensed online casino and sportsbook in Alberta in the coming weeks, although they’re still waiting for the green light in Ontario. Alberta poker players shouldn’t get too excited, though. As it stands, Stake’s initial offering won’t include online poker or fantasy sports.

Is regulated online gambling market in Quebec on the horizon?

There are some serious political movement hinting at this possibility, with two of the largest parties in the province backing the idea. This could have a big impact on online poker in Canada in the long run, as Quebec would likely join forces with Ontario and Alberta at some point.
