The iCasino side of the iGaming market is a big selling point for Alberta, and particularly so for a "casino-first" brand like BetRivers.

Kyle Sauers, president and chief monetary officer for RSI, stated the business's share of the online gambling establishment market in Ontario "is type of mid- to low-single digits," while its online sports betting share is a "little bit lower."


"The other thing I would simply mention, and we have actually mentioned this before, however every North American online gambling establishment market that we have actually introduced in, we have actually been successful by the fourth quarter of operations," Sauers added. "And we do not see a reason that that ought to be various with Alberta.
