Online casino play in Alberta

Alberta's regulated online gaming market launched on July 13, 2026, and two bodies share the work. The Alberta iGaming Corporation, known as AiGC, manages the market, and AGLC regulates it. To operate legally, an online operator must register with AGLC and sign an operating agreement with AiGC. At launch, 22 registered iGaming sites were approved.

Play Alberta, at PlayAlberta.ca, is the province's own online gaming site. It is run by AGLC, and its revenue goes to the Government of Alberta.

Any operator can be looked up in AiGC's directory of registered iGaming sites at abigaming.ca/players/registered-igaming-sites. If an operator does not appear in that directory, it is not regulated. Approved operators display the AiGC logo. Registered operators must make sure that only players physically located in Alberta can play. The legal gambling age in Alberta is 18.

Paid links, each one marked Ad, sit on this site's home page alone. One of them sits in the menu; beneath the opening view, a separate block carries a second; the third appears toward the foot of the page. Behind all three is one partner: an online casino. For this, the site earns a fee, and which partner sits behind the links can change.

Readers can look up that partner, or any other operator, in AiGC's directory of registered iGaming sites. In Alberta, anyone advertising an online gaming site must follow AGLC's standards. Ads must carry a responsible gambling message and must not target minors or use people who appear to be minors. They must not link gaming to attractiveness or status.
