How does Alberta licensing work?

AGLC registers operators. The Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) holds the commercial agreements and publishes the list of registered sites. A site needs both before it can take bets from Albertans.

Same-logo sites in other markets are different companies for this Gauge. Read the iGO register versus the Trust Gauge and Canada is not one casino market.

How is PlayAlberta different from the private brands?

PlayAlberta is the provincial Crown platform. Private brands such as BetMGM, DraftKings and BET99 run their own cashiers, and each has its own Trust Gauge file.

Compliance notes

Age, licence, and advertising rules for this file. TrustFacts is not a regulator and cannot recover funds. Full set on Compliance.

TrustFacts is not a casino18+ / 19+ / 21+ by market

TrustFacts publishes independent Trust Gauge scores. We do not operate games, hold player funds, issue licences, or take bets.

  • A review is not a recommendation to gamble and is not personal financial advice.
  • Confirm the live regulator register and the operator’s current T&Cs on the URL you join. Pages here can lag a licence change.
  • VPN or fake-location tools to enter a licensed market are usually a terms breach and can freeze funds.
  • The Gauge is not for sale. Rank order is score-first.
  • If play is no longer fun, stop. Help lines are listed per market below.
  • International: Local emergency services if you are in crisis. This site is not clinical advice.
Alberta — AGLC18+

Alberta’s licensed private iGaming market is separate from Ontario iGO. Legal age is 18. Same logo on an iGO URL is a different product.

  • Legal age is 18. Confirm the AGLC / AiGC listed operator, not a grey .com.
  • PlayAlberta is the provincial platform — not PlayOLG and not iGO.
  • Private market launched 13 July 2026. New-market cashiers can still be rough; score the Alberta URL only.
  • GameSense tools and provincial self-exclusion apply on licensed sites.
  • Alberta Addiction Helpline: 1-866-332-2322 · Recovery Alberta / Alberta Health Services
  • GameSense Alberta: gamesenseab.ca
  • AGLC: aglc.ca — licensed gaming in Alberta
Affiliate / advertising disclosureApplies to Visit site hops

Some Visit site buttons may be affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up. That money does not set the Gauge.

  • Hops attach at Trust Gauge 60+ when a hop URL exists. Below 60, no hop.
  • Tracked hops use rel="sponsored". Untracked official URLs are placeholders until a tracker is pasted.
  • Crown sites (PlayOLG, PlayNow, Espacejeux, PlayAlberta) often have no affiliate programme — the button still goes to the official URL.
  • Welcome-offer copy on this site is a pointer. The operator’s live T&Cs win.
  • Brands below 60 stay in the index without a hop. Sweepstakes coins are not a real-money cashier. An ROC hop is not iGO or AGLC.
