NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. ("Inspired" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:INSE), a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems and solutions, today announced that it has been approved by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) and has obtained registration as an iGaming Goods or Services Supplier – Critical Gaming Systems (IGCS).

This approval positions Inspired to support operators in Alberta's soon to launch regulated iGaming market, further strengthening the Company's presence across North America.

Alberta will become only the second Canadian province to introduce a regulated commercial online casino and sports betting market, with a planned launch date in the third quarter 2026. The province's approach emphasizes strong regulation, player protection, and social responsibility.

Inspired is already active in the province through its partnership with Play Alberta, the government-run iGaming platform. That live experience gives Inspired valuable insight into the market, the regulatory environment, and player preferences.

"We are thrilled to receive our IGCS registration from the AGLC," said Brooks Pierce, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inspired. "Alberta is a highly attractive market, and our experience with Play Alberta gives us a strong foundation to expand responsibly. We look forward to helping operators deliver great gaming experiences while supporting the province's commitment to player protection."

With this approval, Inspired continues to expand its possibilities to supply operators committed to responsible gaming, and furthers its commitment to regulated market gaming.
