A proposal from We Know Training to become AiGC's training and compliance infrastructure partner — before a single operator goes live.
Prepared February 2026 · We Know Training (WKT)
Alberta is launching Canada's second open iGaming market in 2026. The Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) is being built from scratch — a brand-new Crown corporation responsible for operator agreements, AML oversight, complaint handling, and financial management of the entire commercial iGaming ecosystem.
Every system, every process, every standard is being designed right now. The window to become embedded in the infrastructure — rather than competing for scraps after launch — is measured in weeks, not months.
Operator registration opened January 13, 2026. AiGC's Board is being filled, a CEO is being appointed, and the organization is scaling to ~120 FTE. This is the moment to get it right.
Ontario launched its open iGaming market in April 2022 through iGaming Ontario (iGO). The financial results have been extraordinary. The compliance story has been a cautionary tale.
Ontario launched without standardized compliance training. Each operator built their own internal program — with no quality oversight, no centralized platform, and no regulator visibility.
In March 2024, FINTRAC experienced a major cyber incident that took their reporting systems offline for approximately 10 months. 60,000–70,000 compliance reports backed up. Each report took up to 1 hour to prepare and submit manually when systems returned.
Critically, these fines were for administrative and documentation gaps — not for letting criminals through. Operators were penalized for failing to document processes, inadequate staff training, and no evidence that training changed behaviour.
The key insight: Letting every operator build their own training program = expensive, unverifiable, and legally indefensible. Alberta has the chance to not repeat this mistake.
Think ProServe, but for iGaming.
Every Albertan who serves alcohol needs ProServe certification. It's mandatory, standardized, and universally recognized. There is no equivalent for iGaming — yet.
A ~3.5-hour online course, self-paced and low-friction. Not replacing operators' existing MSB/compliance obligations — this is AiGC communicating its expectations to every person working in Alberta's iGaming ecosystem.

Every module is designed around lessons from Ontario's failures. The curriculum is mapped to FINTRAC's 5 Pillars of MSB compliance and Alberta's specific regulatory framework.
Issued as a verifiable digital credential — cryptographically secure, instantly confirmable, and portable across jurisdictions.
A co-branded AiGC training portal that serves every stakeholder — the public, the workforce, the operators, and the regulator.
Front and centre, the portal is Alberta's public resource for safe gaming. Self-exclusion support, problem gambling awareness, where to get help, and clear information about what Alberta expects from its licensed operators. This is how AiGC demonstrates to Albertans that public safety isn't an afterthought — it's the foundation everything else is built on.
When the media asks "what is Alberta doing to protect people?" — the answer is a URL.
Beyond the mandated PlaySafe credential, the portal offers a full library of regulator-designed courses published by Tamlo International — Canada's leading AML training content provider and creator of the award-winning "Flag the Money" series.
This gives operators one place to access everything they need for their full compliance responsibility — AML, responsible gambling, player protection, advertising standards, sanctions screening, beneficial ownership, and more. No hunting for vendors. No piecing together programs from five different providers.
Responsible gaming resources, self-exclusion support, awareness programs, and transparency into how Alberta protects players
PlaySafe certification, professional development, career mobility — portable credentials that travel across provinces
Full Tamlo course library, private branded portals, buy/assign/track training for your entire team in one place
Real-time compliance status across your organization — who's trained, who's expiring, where the gaps are. Audit-ready at all times.
Already have your own LMS? Buy courses, push them to your system, and still report compliance data back. Your infrastructure, our content.
Phone, email, chat, socials — WKT operates the entire front-line on behalf of AiGC. Operators deal with people, not portals.
Real-time compliance reporting across all operators, annual effectiveness reports, engagement data, and program analytics — all in one dashboard
Operators are paying $50K to apply and $150K annually to stay registered. They're entering a market where Ontario operators are being fined six figures for compliance gaps. A comprehensive training platform that costs a fraction of one fine — and prevents those fines — is an obvious investment.
But more importantly: this portal is designed to make operators feel like valued customers, not sheep being herded through bureaucracy. Easy purchasing, intuitive dashboards, real-time visibility, dedicated support. Alberta's message to operators: "We built this to help you succeed, not to make your life harder."
All of this — because Alberta chose to support a solution designed to help its industry, not hinder it. That's the story AiGC gets to tell.
In a post-truth world, cryptographic proof of identity, age, residency, and competency isn't aspirational — it's inevitable. WKT's entire architecture is built on the Oliu proof network, designed specifically for regulated industries.
Every credential is cryptographically signed and verifiable in real-time. No fake certificates. No expired credentials slipping through.
Employers, regulators, and enforcement can verify any credential instantly — no phone calls, no waiting for paperwork.
Credentials travel with the worker. Licensed in Alberta, verifiable in Ontario. Aligns with the federal One Economy Act and interprovincial mobility initiatives.
Real-time compliance flagging for every stakeholder — operators, regulators, and the public. Not self-reported. Not trust-based. Proven.
AiGC joins the Oliu proof network as a trust registrant — the recognized authority for iGaming training credentials in Alberta. This means:
This isn't just digital certificates on a blockchain. It's a trust network designed for regulated industries — and WKT is building the infrastructure.
This isn't a startup pitching a concept. This is a 25-year-old company pitching working technology that can be configured for a new vertical.
We don't just build training. We operate regulator-approved programs across Canada's most regulated industries:
Every one of these programs was built to a regulator's specification, approved by that regulator, and is operated by WKT on an ongoing basis. This is what we do — across every regulated industry that requires workforce training in Canada.
Not a generic LMS. Our platform uses ReadyRating™ technology to personalize learning paths and measure actual competency — not just completion.
Co-branded operator portals, bulk purchasing, assign-and-track dashboards — already built and running for CIRO member firms.
Canada's leading AML content library. Award-winning "Flag the Money" series. No content development delay for core AML modules.
This is a provincial initiative creating a provincial Crown corporation. Having a local partner matters — politically and practically.
We don't herd people through bureaucracy. Our platform makes compliance feel like a service, not a burden — with front-line support, intuitive dashboards, and SCORM dispatch to their own systems.
Every completion, every assessment, every competency gap — documented, timestamped, and exportable. Effectiveness reviews become automatic.
Alberta is the beachhead. It is not the endgame.
Compliance requirements are federal, not provincial. The 5 Pillars of MSB compliance are mandated by FINTRAC under the PCMLTFA. A training platform built for Alberta's operators works for all Canadian iGaming operators. The platform doesn't need to be rebuilt for each market.
AiGC gets to be the partner that helped define how Canada does iGaming training. That's not a vendor relationship — that's a legacy.
We're not asking for a commitment today. We're asking for a conversation about what's possible — and what's already built.
