About Alberta Gambling Guide

Alberta Gambling Guide is an independent publication that tracks regulated online casinos and sportsbooks in Alberta. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), PlayAlberta, or any operator we cover.

What we cover

Alberta opened a regulated, competitive iGaming market on July 13, 2026. Since then, private operators have been registering with AGLC and signing commercial agreements with AiGC to accept Alberta players alongside the government-run PlayAlberta site. We track:

• which operators are registered to operate in Alberta, and how we know
• what casino and sportsbook products each registered operator offers
• how payments, identity checks and responsible-gambling tools work in the regulated market
• dated changes to the market as they happen

Why Alberta only

We cover one jurisdiction because Alberta's rules are specific: a Crown corporation (AiGC) signs the commercial agreements, AGLC registers operators and suppliers, and advertising is restricted in ways most other jurisdictions do not apply. Trying to cover multiple provinces at once would mean either diluting that detail or reusing generic copy that doesn't reflect Alberta's actual rules. We would rather cover one market accurately than several superficially.

How this site works

Every regulatory statement on this site is backed by a source we can point to — primary legislation, an AGLC or AiGC publication, or an operator's own published terms — with the date we last checked it. Our editorial policy explains how we source and verify facts, our methodology explains how we determine an operator's status, and how we make money explains our commercial model in full. If you find something wrong, see corrections.
