How to read this table

Bottom line: in Alberta, AGLC registers operators and AiGC manages the market, so the AiGC list is the gate.

What changed on 2026-07-13
The regulated market opened on 2026-07-13, and the page about the opening describes what it changed. The Government of Alberta published fact sheets on 2026-01-13 and 2026-07-14.
The fact sheets also describe reminders about tools and a "fit to play" confirmation for players. This site publishes no bonus, promo code or boosted odds for Alberta.
Bottom line: the market is months old, so lists and rules can still change.
Self-exclusion and help
Self-exclusion in Alberta runs through selfexclusion.ca, the central AGLC program. It covers the registered iGaming sites. For support, call 211, or text INFO to 211. The fact sheet also names GameSense and Recovery Alberta.

What is not confirmed

- AGLC's "Gaming Registrants" register: it did not open on 2026-11-06.
- A phone number from a search excerpt for an addiction help line: not found on the AiGC or fact-sheet pages, so it is not published.
