Alberta is preparing to launch a regulated online casino market under the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), overseen by AGLC. Pre-registration is already live with the operators preparing to go first.
The AiGC framework
AiGC is Alberta's answer to Ontario's iGO model: a single regulator that licenses private operators to serve Alberta players with real CAD wagering, Interac payments, and player-protection standards baked in.
Who's launching
The first wave of Alberta-licensed operators includes Bet99, Sports Interaction, and CasinoTime. Pre-registering now means your account is ready the moment the platform goes live.
How to be ready on day one
- Pre-register with one or more of the launch operators.
- Have Interac e-Transfer or a Canadian debit/credit card set up.
- Read the AGLC responsible-play tools available at launch.
- Bookmark 1-877-303-2642 (Alberta problem gambling helpline).
