Editorial policy

Every factual statement about Alberta's iGaming market on this site is sourced, dated and attributed. Here's how that actually works.

Sourcing hierarchy

We rank sources in this order and never skip a level when a higher one is available:

  1. Primary regulator or legislation — the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act, the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation, AGLC's Standards for Registrants and Interactive Gaming (SRIG), AGLC's published Compliance Approach, and AGLC's Gaming Registrants export.
  2. An operator's own published terms — used only for facts about that specific operator (for example, which legal entity operates a brand), never for facts about the law itself.
  3. Never affiliates. We don't source regulatory or operator facts from other affiliate sites, review aggregators, or marketing content, including our own advertising partners' materials.

Every claim record we publish stores the exact statement, which source or sources back it, the date we last checked it, and a status (verified, unverified, disputed or superseded). A page can only cite a claim currently marked verified. Where the evidence is incomplete or ambiguous, we say so and mark the claim unverified instead of guessing.

Verification levels

A fact about a specific operator, like which payment methods it offers, is labelled with how far we actually went to confirm it:

  • Documented — confirmed in the operator's own published materials or a primary regulatory source, but not independently observed on the operator's site.
  • Inspected — an editor viewed the operator's site or account flow directly.
  • Tested — an editor completed the action itself, such as a deposit or withdrawal, with real funds.

Where none of those apply yet, we say so and show the gap rather than filling it with a guess.

Independence from commercial relationships

Which operators we list, and their regulatory status, is never affected by whether we have a commercial relationship with that operator. An operator's registration status comes only from AGLC and AiGC's own public records — see methodology. Any commercial relationship is disclosed on the page it affects and explained in full at how we make money.

Corrections

If you find a factual error, see corrections for how to report it and how we log the fix.
