The province’s only regulated iGaming platform, Play Alberta, welcomes Calgary Flames’ goaltender Dustin Wolf and Edmonton Oilers’ power forward Leon Draisaitl to the made-for-Alberta lineup.
The agreement with Draisaitl and Wolf will give Play Alberta a boost when it comes to highlighting AGLC’s social responsibility programs, GameSense and Self-Exclusion. The two decorated athletes will be featured in materials that remind players of tools and resources available to them; bet, loss and deposit limits, Reality Checks or a voluntary break from a casino or online. These features make sure that gambling remains a form of entertainment, much like taking in this week’s Battle of Alberta.
“The addition of two new elite athlete ambassadors will help connect Alberta sports fans to Alberta-based teams with some of the most exciting, show-stopping performers this province currently has in it. Leon and Dustin are competitive, world-class professionals who give Play Alberta deeper opportunities to remind legal-aged Albertans of the responsible gambling features and tentpole matchups on the sports calendar.”
Dan Keene, Vice President, Gaming, AGLC
“I’m excited to strengthen my ties to the community through my relationship with Play Alberta. It’s great to work with a local brand that promotes responsible gambling and creates meaningful ways for me to engage with fans—whether it’s through meet and greets or other exciting events.”
Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton Oilers
“The chance for me to team up with an up-and-coming, energetic platform like Play Alberta is one that I’m very excited for. I’ve seen firsthand how passionate sports fans in Alberta are and it’s a great opportunity for me to better connect with Flames fans while helping establish Play Alberta’s social responsibility features.”
Dustin Wolf, Calgary Flames
