List Of All Bookmakers in Alberta

List Of All Bookmakers is the only site that maintains a complete, transparent list of every operator licensed by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) and AiGC to take real-money bets in the province.

Most comparison sites in Canada cherry-pick bookmakers they have a commercial deal with, many don’t even consider local regulations. We list all legal betting sites, regardless of financials, making comparison easy.

All Legal Betting Sites in Alberta (Updated August 2026)

The Alberta iGaming market is officially live, making it the second Canadian province to open its doors to private gambling operators. The AiGC maintains an up-to-date list of license holders, but doesn’t offer any type of comparison product. That’s where we step in. Below you’ll find a transparent and simple comparison of all licensed bookmakers in AB.

As of August 11 2026 there are 14 ACTIVE legal betting sites in Alberta: bet365, BetVictor, FanDuel, Play Alberta, DraftKings, Sports Interaction, Caesars Sportsbook, BetRivers, theScore Bet, BetMGM, TonyBet, Bally Bet, Monopoly Casino & Sportsbook, and DAZN Bet.

There is one additional brand open for pre-registration: PointsBet.

Play Alberta held the fort as the only fully regulated option before launch, and it remains a genuinely decent sportsbook with a strong SGP tool. But it’s no longer the only name in town, and while their sportsbook holds up against some mid-tier competitors, they simply don’t compete with the likes of bet365 and FanDuel. Still, we wouldn’t knock anyone who continues to use them, especially for SGP bets.

Registered, Not Yet Live: Alberta Betting Sites Coming Soon

Not every AGLC-registered brand launched on day one. More than 50 sites completed registration, but less than 20 unique brands actually went public on launch day (some registered brands have an extension window running to October 13). The AGLC lists all approved Gaming Registrants directly on their website, which we cross reference with the AiGC to see who’s already live, and who’s coming soon.

*ROC = Rest of Canada. As mentioned, Alberta is the second regulated market in Canada, the remaining provinces and territories are still considered grey markets.

We’ll continue tracking AGLC and AiGC announcements and operator press releases to maintain our coming soon list as things progress.

Offshore Bookmakers Still Operating in Alberta

These betting sites still accept Albertan players but have not registered with the AGLC, and honestly, they probably never will. Now that the market is live, the rules have real influence: the provincial regulators can pursue legal action against brands which continue to operate without approval, and if you’re holding money at one of these bookies, it’s at risk.

How Alberta’s Online Betting Market Works

Alberta is the second Canadian province after Ontario to open a regulated, competitive online gambling market. The framework was created by Bill 48 (the iGaming Alberta Act), passed in 2025, and is built around two bodies:

To legally take bets in Alberta, an operator must complete both steps: register with AGLC, then sign an operating agreement with AiGC.

How Does The Market Differ From Ontario?

There are a few key points of differentiation when comparing the Alberta iGaming structure to iGaming Ontario, most of which we think are an improvement. Player protections are higher, and review sites like ours are less confined, making it easier for us to deliver transparent information before you start playing. These differences will certainly evolve with time, but as of now here are the key takeaways:

  • No election betting. Alberta has explicitly excluded political event betting from the regulated market.
  • Centralized self-exclusion at launch. One self-exclusion covers every licensed online and land-based site. Ontario still does not have this.
  • Tighter information security. Operators must provide a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation before go-live, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 required from 2028.
  • Higher fees. $50,000 application fee plus $150,000 annually per operator.

As for market size, it’ll be tough to compete with Ontario – which is a struggle Albertans aren’t the most familiar with. Casino.org estimates a market size of $700 million per year at peak maturity, though no official AGLC or AiGC projection has been published yet.

On current offshore market share, two estimates exist and they disagree:

  • Government of Alberta: unregulated operators capture approximately 70% of the province’s iGaming market, based on survey data cited on the official Alberta iGaming Strategy page.
  • Blask (private market intelligence firm): offshore operators hold roughly 88% market share, as cited in industry reporting.

The gap likely reflects different methodologies: traffic share versus self-reported player spend. Either way, offshore activity is the dominant share of the current market, which is exactly what the regulated launch is designed to address.

How to Choose Between Alberta’s Licensed Betting Sites

With the market live, the question is no longer “who’s legal” but “who’s worth your time”. Every licensed site now offers the same baseline protections: deposit limits, activity statements, responsible gambling tools including Alberta’s centralized self-exclusion system, and AGLC as a real complaints forum if something goes wrong. Payments are also local across the board, so expect Interac e-Transfer and CAD withdrawals everywhere.

That baseline is exactly why comparison matters more, not less. When every operator clears the same regulatory bar, the differences come down to odds quality, welcome offers and their terms, app experience, market depth, and withdrawal speed. Those are the things our comparison table above is built to show.

A few Alberta-specific quirks to keep in mind: election betting is excluded from the regulated market entirely, promotional advertising runs under tighter AGLC rules than Ontarians endured in 2022, and recreational winnings remain tax-free, with provincial revenue coming out of operator margins rather than your pocket. And if the ad blitz on TSN still gets worse from here, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

FAQs About Albertan Betting Sites

Is online betting legal in Alberta right now?

Yes, fully. Alberta’s regulated iGaming market launched on July 13, 2026. There are currently 13 approved online sportsbooks, all listed in the AiGC directory. Offshore sites that didn’t register are now operating illegally in the province.

When did Alberta’s regulated online betting market launch?

July 13, 2026. Registered operators that missed the launch deadline through no fault of their own can use a case-by-case extension to October 13, 2026, which is why the approved list will keep growing over the coming months.

What’s the difference between AGLC and AiGC?

AGLC (Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis) is the regulator. It handles operator registration, due diligence, and enforcement.

AiGC (Alberta iGaming Corporation) is the Crown corporation that signs commercial agreements with registered operators and conducts and manages the market on the province’s behalf.

An operator needs both an AGLC registration and an AiGC agreement to legally take bets.

How many betting sites are live in Alberta?

13 approved sportsbooks including the provincially owned Play Alberta. Licensed betting sites in Alberta include bet365, FanDuel, DraftKings, Sports Interaction, BetVictor, BetRivers, theScore Bet, TonyBet, Bally Bet, and DAZN Bet.

Is Play Alberta still worth using now that the private market has launched?

For sportsbook bettors who like the same-game parlay tool, yes. For casino players, you’ve got a few options now which are much stronger such as BetMGM, CasinoDays, and Betty.

What happens to my balance on a grey-market site that didn’t get licensed?

Withdraw it as soon as possible. Operators continuing without a licence face enforcement and there’s no Canadian dispute resolution path for unlicensed sites.

Why does this list look different from other Alberta betting sites pages?

Because we list every licensed operator, not only the ones we have an affiliate deal with. We follow regulations closely, ensuring to give you a complete list of all your options.

Additionally, we make comparing easy. We show which sites operate betting apps, what their welcome offer is, flag any hidden terms, and overall make sure you can make the most informed decision.
