Alberta iGaming Transition Tracker

Why this matters

Alberta is moving from a market in which some operators accepted Alberta players without provincial registration toward a regulated system that requires AGLC listing and a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Commission (AiGC). The Government of Alberta has estimated that a large share of online gambling activity in the province occurred through unregulated operators.

Players who previously used brands that are not on the AGLC registrants list should not assume those brands will continue to serve Alberta after the transition date. Equally, players should not assume a brand is "banned" simply because it is absent from the reviewed list; it may still complete registration later.

Transition timeline

• Before July 13, 2026: Operators not on the AGLC registrants list may still transact with Alberta players. AGLC has stated that continuing unregulated activity after the deadline may result in permanent exclusion from the licensed Alberta market.
• July 13, 2026: Provincial regulated market opens. Lawful iGaming in Alberta requires AGLC registration and an AiGC commercial agreement.
• Extension window (case by case): Operators that have begun the AGLC registration process may in some cases request an extension until October 13, 2026. Extensions are granted at AGLC discretion and are not automatic.

Transition operator tracker

Reading the table: "Not found in reviewed AGLC list" means the brand did not appear in the AGLC PDF we reviewed on the last-checked date. bet365 is the exception in this selected set: it now has AGLC registry evidence under two Hillside entries, while Alberta live availability remains unverified here. "Not confirmed by current sources" means we could not find an independent, publicly available notice — not that one does not exist. "Public source found" means we located a credible third-party reference, which may still need verification.

What players should do if a brand is not confirmed

• Do not assume an operator is Alberta-ready only because it served Canadian players before.
• Search the operator's site for an Alberta-specific registration notice or .ca domain presence.
• Check whether Alberta appears in the operator's terms of service, geolocation rules, or account restrictions.
• Keep dated screenshots of balances, terms, support replies, and withdrawal confirmations.
• If account access or terms change after the transition date, contact the operator's support first, then keep records of all responses.
• Before depositing, consider whether you can verify Alberta registration from AGLC or the operator directly.

How to verify information yourself

1. Download the AGLC iGaming Registrants PDF and search for the brand name and legal-entity wording.
2. Review the operator's website for Alberta-specific pages, registration announcements, or geo-targeted notices.
3. Contact the operator's support and ask directly: "Are you registered with AGLC for iGaming services in Alberta?" Document the response.
4. Monitor AGLC's official iGaming portal for updated registrant lists.
