What the Alberta iGaming Corporation does

Reviewed by Alberta Gambling Guide editorial teamUpdated Checked

AiGC (Alberta iGaming Corporation) is the Crown corporation that oversees Alberta's iGaming market and signs the commercial agreements that let AGLC-registered operators go live. AGLC, separately, is the regulator that registers operators and sets their standards — see AGLC's role.

The two-step process AiGC completes

An operator must first register with AGLC. Only after that registration and AGLC due diligence does the operator sign a commercial agreement with AiGC — the step that actually lets it accept deposits or bets from Alberta players.

AiGC's "Registered iGaming Sites" directory

AiGC runs a consumer-facing page listing operator brands, each with a link to that brand's Alberta site. It's a marketing directory, not a status registry: it does not show a registration date, registration number or licence class for any entry. This publication treats a brand's presence on that page as primary evidence that AiGC presents it as part of the regulated market — see the operator registry for how each brand's status is determined. For the underlying legal-entity registrations, see the licence tracker.

AiGC's channelization goal

AiGC states its goal is "to recapture 75% of the current market by migrating players to regulated sites" within its first two years of operation. That is AiGC's own phrasing for its market-share target, not a restatement of the government's separate estimate that unregulated (offshore) sites currently capture roughly 70% of Alberta iGaming activity — the two figures come from different sources and aren't the same claim. See how to tell a registered site from an offshore one.
