Alberta Gives Green Light to Online Gambling Sites Starting Monday

Friday July 10, 2026 (1:14 pm EDT)

Alberta will open its doors to private online gambling operators on Monday. The move, enabled through Alberta’s new iGaming Act, creates a regulated market for private operators and makes Alberta only the second province in after Ontario to legalize commercial online gambling platforms. The government says the change is aimed at boosting tax revenue and dismantling the “grey market,” which it estimates currently accounts for roughly 70 per cent of online gambling activity in the province. Under the new system, Albertans will be able to place bets on some of the most recognizable gambling sites. They’ll also have access to a province-wide self‑exclusion tool that blocks them from all regulated platforms. (source: Calgary City News)

Top Sports Betting Events Across the Globe This Weekend

Friday July 10, 2026 (8:09 am EDT)

1. UFC 329: Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2

This is probably the biggest non-World Cup betting event of the weekend. McGregor returns after nearly five years away to face Holloway on Saturday night in Las Vegas during UFC International Fight Week. Expect heavy action on the moneyline, method of victory, round betting and McGregor-specific props.

2. MotoGP German Grand Prix

The Sachsenring hosts the German MotoGP from Friday through Sunday, with the sprint on Saturday and the main race Sunday. MotoGP attracts substantial betting activity across Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Southeast Asia, especially on race winner, podium and head-to-head rider markets.

3. Tour de France

The Tour continues with stages on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s route runs from Périgueux to Bergerac, followed by another stage Sunday. Cycling betting is particularly strong in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK, with markets on stage winner, top-three finish, classifications and rider matchups.

4. Genesis Scottish Open

The Scottish Open concludes this weekend at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick. Because it is jointly sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour and occurs directly before The Open, it draws a strong international field and sizable betting volume on outright winner, round leaders, top-10 finishes and player matchups.

5. International rugby — Nations Championship

The new Nations Championship has several international rugby tests Saturday, including Australia vs. France in Brisbane. Other July internationals involving major rugby nations should generate meaningful wagering in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, the UK and Ireland.

6. England vs. India cricket

England and India play the fifth T20 international on Saturday in Southampton. Any England–India cricket match attracts enormous betting interest, particularly in India and the UK. Zimbabwe also hosts Bangladesh in the third ODI, although that will be a smaller market.

7. European Darts Open

The European Darts Open runs Friday through Sunday in Leverkusen. Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and defending champion Nathan Aspinall are among the marquee names. Darts is heavily wagered in Britain, the Netherlands and Germany, with strong live-betting turnover.

8. Major boxing cards

Murat Gassiev faces Peter Kadiru for the WBA “regular” heavyweight title Saturday in Moscow, with Joe Joyce also on the card. Anthony Olascuaga also defends his WBO flyweight title against Andy Dominguez in San Francisco. Neither approaches UFC 329 in betting volume, but both should attract regional boxing action.

FanDuel Allegedly Used Bryce Harper To Prey On Gambling Addict Who Lost $1.5 Million On Bets

Thursday July 9, 2026 (1:27 pm EDT)

Earlier this year, both Christopher Sage and Terry Thompson filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania that accuses the NFL of playing a role in the problematic habits they developed while gambling on DraftKings and FanDuel.  Now we are hearing that Thompson lost $1.5 million betting with FanDuel, and all the while, the company allegedly encouraged him to keep betting more.  Not only did they assign him a VIP manager to work with him on his bets, but they also gave him exclusive perks such as bottles of champagne and Super Bowl tickets.  They even sent Thompson a personalized video from Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper.  “I just wanted to hop on here and wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving,” Harper says in the video. “Tell (Thompson’s son) I said hello. I appreciate all the support through the years.”
