Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis has published guidance setting out a dual registration process in which iGaming operators and suppliers must first register with AGLC before entering a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation. Suppliers must also certify technology and integrate with AGLC's central self-exclusion programme.
Greentube said it went live in Alberta as the province opened its regulated igaming market, after registering with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission. Its initial offering includes six games, and the company said it had already been live in Ontario since 2022.
It was reported that 36 operators cleared Alberta’s dual-approval process for regulated igaming. AGLC said 22 platforms were live on 17 July and more were expected to launch.
Alberta's iGaming Corporation confirmed 22 operator sites were live on 13 July 2026, out of nearly 50 registered.
