Betting on Alberta: A Deep Dive with Ron Segev on Gaming Law, Markets, and Canada’s Gambling Future

Episode 113

Listen on your preferred podcast app.


It’s been awhile since we had a conversation with Ron Segev, the founder of Segev LLP and one of the leading legal beagles when it comes to the business of sports betting and gaming. 

So, the recent announcement that the British Columbia-based law firm was establishing some roots in Calgary ahead of the launch of regulated gambling in Alberta was the catalyst to have Segev join us on the Gaming News Canada Show. Among the topics discussed:

  • We’ve never heard the story of Segev LLP having a gaming component to its legal practice, so we asked;

  • While it’s expected the Alberta model will have similarities to Ontario’s regulated gambling marketplace, Segev says there are unique qualities in the western Canada province that will come into play;

  • A state-of-the-Ontario-market discussion, including with regards to the current Ontario Superior Court case brought forth by the provincial Attorney General’s office on liquidity;

  • Why it’s not a slam dunk for B.C. to follow suit with an open, legal marketplace

We also asked Segev for his thoughts on what’s expected to be a rather robust fall.
