The C-suite's comments underscore the very real possibility that Alberta will allow [private-sector iGaming](http://182.92.251.553000/deweyforet3649/the-betnaija-promo-code-this-2026-is-yohaig/wiki/The-Bet-9JA-promotional-code-2026-is-YOHAIG) operators to release in its regulated market well before the next NFL season rolls around.

Chicago-based RSI is especially enthused about a rather underdiscussed aspect of Alberta's new iGaming market, which is that it will enable operators to use both [online sports](https://gitea.manekenbrand.com/rooseveltfulto) betting and online gambling establishment [betting](http://35.168.82.2263000/corinefairchil/the-bet-9ja-promotion-code-2026-is-yohaig/wiki/The+Betnaija+promotion+code+for+2026+is+YOHAIG).

+
"The other thing I would just explain, and we've discussed this in the past, but every North American online gambling establishment market that we have actually introduced in, we've been profitable by the fourth quarter of operations," Sauers added.
