iGaming Legislative and Regulatory Analysis Service

The Government of the Northwest Territories seeks a qualified consultant or consulting team to develop evidence-based legislative, regulatory, policy, and implementation options regarding iGaming. The contractor must perform a comparative jurisdictional review of all Canadian regulated iGaming jurisdictions, including at least two Indigenous models, and at least two international jurisdictions. The scope of work requires assessing legislative, regulatory, fiscal, public health, socio-economic, technological, Indigenous governance, and consumer protection implications for the Northwest Territories. The successful proponent must conduct stakeholder engagements, evaluate black and grey market activities, complete a socio-economic impact assessment, and perform a cost-benefit analysis. Additionally, the contractor will evaluate technology infrastructure requirements, provide an indicative cost of ownership, and create a comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation framework. Eligibility is restricted to onshore Canadian organizations, and performance of the work will occur offsite. Applicants must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is looking for budget proposals within the submissions.
