Alberta appears set to become the next Canadian province to launch online gambling operations under its local government monopoly.

On Friday, CBC News reported that the provincial government’s Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) had quietly issued a request for proposals for technology suppliers to power a proposed digital gambling offering.

The RFP, which envisions both desktop and mobile gambling options, has reportedly received favorable responses from “a handful of companies,” the identities of which weren’t specified.

Alberta has been flirting with approving online gambling for a few years now, but never seems to follow through. AGLC senior communications officer Chara Goodings now claims that the plan is about “providing a safe place” for Albertans to gamble online, although everyone knows it’s really about boosting government revenue.
