There’s been growing buzz around Alberta iGaming, with attention largely focused on which operators will enter the new regulated market. Behind the scenes, however, the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) still has significant groundwork to complete — particularly when it comes to staffing ahead of launch.
A closer look at current job postings highlights the scale of that effort. From tech and cybersecurity to compliance, finance, and responsible gambling, AiGC is recruiting across nearly every core function, underscoring just how much infrastructure is being built to support Alberta’s regulated iGaming market.
Why is the AiGC Important?
With the passage of the Alberta iGaming Act came the establishment of the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC).
Stood up by Alberta’s Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction in June 2025, this new Crown entity works alongside the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), handling the market’s day-to-day operations. That includes player protections and adherence to the province’s new iGaming standards.
Private operators must first obtain an AGLC licence before signing an operating agreement with the AiGC as a prerequisite for offering online casino or sports betting services in the province. And like iGaming Ontario, the AiGC will ensure licensed operators meet their contractual obligations while leading responsible gambling initiatives across the market.
Leading the charge is Dan Keene, appointed as the AiGC’s interim CEO in this crucial stage where the Corporation moves from concept to reality. And if the Corporation’s current hiring activity is any indication, Keene is wasting no time building the team needed to get Alberta online casinos and sportsbooks off the ground.
The Hiring Wave — Who Is Being Brought On Board?
From an administrative standpoint, a seven-member board appointed by the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction runs the AiGC. Each member of the board serves a term of up to three years, but not exceeding 10 years total. Worth noting is that the recruitment drive for board members closed on December 10, 2025. However, as of the time of writing, no appointments have been publicly announced.
Nonetheless, with Keene steering the ship alongside AGLC CEO Larry Spagnolo, both crown entities are moving quickly to fill key leadership and operational roles ahead of the market’s anticipated launch in July.
Here’s a list of the currently available jobs as of April 2026:

Perks of Working at the AIGC/AGLC
As online gambling in Alberta expands, there’s no shortage of positions for those eyeing a possible career move. From high-paying, high-pressure executive roles to entry-level positions that offer a foot in the door of a fast-growing industry, the AiGC and AGLC are recruiting across the full spectrum of experience and expertise.
But why would working at either of these Crown corporations be on anyone’s radar? Recognized as one of Alberta’s Top 85 Employers by MediaCorp Canada, the AGLC was evaluated across eight criteria — from workplace culture and benefits to training, performance management, and community involvement — highlighting its strong commitment not just to its mandate, but to its people.
What’s more, both organisations are offering opportunities to grow in the emerging market. Inside Alberta’s open, competitive market, multiple licensed operators will compete for players — creating a dynamic, fast-moving environment that will demand constant evolution from the regulators and administrators overseeing it.
For those working in the AiGC and AGLC, that means staying ahead of the curve, adapting to new challenges, and building expertise in a market that has no established local precedent to lean on. Pair this with the kind of stability and benefits package that come with public-sector employment contracts, and prospective employees can look forward to competitive public-sector salaries, comprehensive health and dental coverage, and enrolment in a defined benefit pension plan — an increasingly rare perk in today’s job market.
In short, whether you are drawn by the mission, the stability, the recognition, or the once-in-a-career opportunity to help launch a new regulated market, the case for considering a role with the AGLC or the AiGC is compelling.
