What the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis / Alberta iGaming Corporation licence means for players, how to check it in the official register, and every casino in our database that holds it.

Tier 1 By the Gambling Hero editorial team · Checked October 24, 2026

Short answer

Alberta became the second Canadian province, after Ontario, to open its online casino and sports betting market to private operators. Since 13 July 2026, any company offering iGaming to people located in Alberta must be registered with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis and must also sign a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation.

About the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis / Alberta iGaming Corporation

AGLC is the regulator: it registers operators and suppliers, sets standards and enforces them. The iGaming Corporation runs the commercial side of the market, alongside the province's own Play Alberta site. Players can check a brand in AGLC's public list of gaming registrants. All registered sites must connect to AGLC's central self-exclusion program, which can block a player from every registered platform, from land-based venues, or both. Complaints go to the operator first, which may take up to 90 days to decide. After that, players can complain to AGLC, which can warn, suspend or fine an operator but says it cannot get money back for individual players.

How to check a licenceSearch the AGLC 'Gaming Registrants' list, which can be filtered by the iGaming stream and the class 'iGaming - Operator'. Registered operators also carry the Alberta iGaming Corporation logo in their advertising. Since 13 July 2026 every operator must be registered with AGLC and have a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation.
Complaints / ADRComplain to the operator first through its formal complaints process; a decision can take up to 90 days. If unresolved, or if the matter concerns responsible gambling, advertising or possible illegal activity, file a complaint with AGLC iGaming Compliance (https://aglc.ca/igaming/disputes). AGLC acknowledges within about 3 business days and a compliance review can take up to 5 weeks. AGLC states that it cannot recover money for a player; it can warn, suspend or fine operators.
Player protectionAGLC runs a centralised Self-Exclusion Program (selfexclusion.ca) that registered operators must integrate; players can exclude from all registered iGaming platforms, from land-based venues, or both. Advertising must carry responsible gambling information, including 211 Alberta, and may not use athletes or persons appealing to minors except to promote safer-play features.
