Hello bonjour! My name is Robert – but my French Canadian buddies call me Boby 😅 I’m originally from Montreal, though I’ve been living across the country and abroad for the past 6 years or so. Since graduating from Concordia in 2019 I’ve been working as a website manager and content writer, joining the List Of All Bookmakers team in 2025. They had some tasks for me to clean up in the early days, but finally this year I had the time to develop my passion project – highlighting the best Canadian betting sites and welcome offers in the country. Most affiliate sites only highlight bookmakers which pay them the most commissions. If you google “best betting sites” in Canada, half of the results are showing shady, Curacao-licensed bookies that you’ve never heard of. What frustrates me even more is how welcome bonuses are promoted – they simply copy paste the promo text and T&Cs, which make it a) misleading, as most marketing offers are, and b) impossible to compare, as each betting site uses different language. List Of All Bookmakers Canada doesn’t take shortcuts. Here we only list trusted brands and we present offers transparently making it easy for you to compare. We follow regulations closely, making sure to only recommend the operators holding the appropriate licenses for your province/ territory. If we’re missing a betting site or betting app that you like to use, simply send us a message. And please also write to us if you have a negative experience – we’ll add it in our review or remove the brand completely from our site. We’re for Canadians, by Canadians, with an ultimate commitment to transparency. Welcome to List Of All Bookmakers Canada!

Bonjour Canada! My name is Lucas, or Pepito when I’m back with my friends back home. I’m not Canadian, so the bulk of this site will be written by my mate Boby. What I am, however, is a sports betting enthusiast – I have been ever since placing my first bet during the 2010 World Cup. What I will be bringing to List Of All Bookmakers Canada is an expertise with website development and factual reviews. I’ve played with and reviewed hundreds of sportsbooks and casinos in my lifetime and developed quite knack for sorting phonies from the real deal. Our commitment to all of our readers, from Canada and abroad, is to deliver the facts. We don’t skip over abusive terms, recommend shady brands, or regurgitate misleading marketing materials. We’re real players too, and we deliver the facts that matter most.

All Legal Betting Sites in Alberta

The Alberta iGaming market is still in a transition phase from grey to regulated. The timeline has now been confirmed, with Canadian Gaming Business reporting the regulated market to be live by mid-July, and the AGLC has confirmed July 13 as the official launch of Alberta’s iGaming market. That makes from today until launch date a tricky time for bettors to find long term betting options as the list of approved bookmakers is still evolving.

As of May 7th 2026 there is only one ACTIVE betting site fully approved by the AGLC: Play Alberta.

Most provincially backed betting sites lack competitiveness, often with outdated products and underwhelming promos. Play Alberta doesn’t fit this mould: the brand offers a genuinely valuable welcome bonus alongside a top-tier SGP tool, even when compared against their offshore competitors. Where they do fall short is their casino and live casino offering, which will need major improvements if they want to remain competitive in Alberta’s regulated market.

Thankfully, once regulations go live, Albertans will have more options. Many of Europe’s top betting sites have already applied for the license, most of which we suspect will get approved. Some of the biggest US brands will also enter the market such as FanDuel and DraftKings.

Alberta Betting Sites Coming in July 2026 (Or Soon After)

At this time the official list from AGLC only covers registered parties: registration approval and official lists of URLs are still pending.

So, take this information with a grain of salt, as there’s still some work to be done before these books are approved to take real money bets in AB. In addition to the AGLC list, we’ve collected information from accredited news sources across Alberta, Canada, and the iGaming industry. We’ve even talked directly with bookmakers to confirm their status and checked for press releases (for example, DraftKings press release announcing intent to launch casino & sportsbook in AB). We’re confident our list is currently the most accurate picture, but it’s not a 100% guarantee that these brands will be AGLC and AiGC approved by July 13.

What’s most important: Once regulations are actually in place, we will be using AGLC as our primary source to deliver you a list of all active betting sites, apps, and casinos active in Alberta.

Betting Sites Coming Soon to Alberta

*ROC = Rest of Canada. As mentioned, Alberta is about to become the 2nd regulated market in Canada, the remaining provinces and territories are still considered grey markets.

We’ll continue tracking AGLC announcements and operator press releases to keep our lists up-to-date as things progress.

Alberta Bookmakers Currently Operating in the Grey Market

These sites currently accept Albertan players but are not yet licensed by AGLC. Some are in the registration pipeline and will move to the licensed list above before 13 July. Others are not, and are expected to either exit the province or continue operating without a licence.

With consideration to these brands acquiring local licenses in other countries and provinces, we’d guess that bet365, PowerPlay, Coolbet, Swiper, NorthStar Bets, LeoVegas, and 888sport will likely acquire AGLC approval in the future. Using the same logic, bookies like 20bet, Stake, 1xbet, Granawin, are likely to skip the local license and possibly continue to serve Albertan players in a new black market.

Betting Sites on the Bubble (Currently Active as of May 2026)

We’ll keep these lists up to date and move operators between sections as more information is released. If you have an active balance with a site that does not appear in the licensed or registered lists, we recommend withdrawing before July 13th.

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:

• Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) is the regulator. It handles operator registration, due diligence, compliance, and enforcement.
• Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) is the conduct-and-manage entity. It signs commercial agreements with registered operators and oversees market operations.

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

How Alberta Differs 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. Caisno.org estimates a market size of $700 million per year at peak maturity, though no official AGLC or AiGC projection has been published.

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.

What Changes for Albertan Bettors on 13 July

For most Albertans the day-to-day experience will look familiar. A few things will be meaningfully different:

• Better consumer protections. Every licensed site is required to offer deposit limits, time limits, activity statements, and integration with the centralized self-exclusion system.
• Real recourse if something goes wrong. Disputes with offshore sites have no Canadian forum today. After July 13, AGLC handles complaints against licensed operators.
• Local payment processing. Licensed operators must offer Canadian banking integration. Expect Interac e-Transfer and faster CAD-denominated withdrawals than most grey-market sites currently provide.
• Tax on operators, not players. Personal sports betting and casino winnings remain non-taxable for recreational players in Canada. Provincial revenue comes out of operator margins, not your account.
• No election betting. This is regulated out of the Alberta market entirely. Tough to say exactly what will happen with prediction market platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi just yet.
• Promotional restrictions tighten. Expect fewer “$1,500 risk-free bet” headlines and more responsible gambling messaging.

As far as day-to-day life goes, the biggest unknown is how advertising will look. Nearly all Canadian’s can remember the regulation date in Ontario due to the overwhelming amount of ads and promos seen on national sports stations like TSN and Sportsnet. I think I can speak for most Canadians that we absolutely have betting-advert fatigue. Lets hope things don’t get worse following July 13.
