Alberta confirmed that its regulated online casino and sports betting market will launch on 13 July 2026. Minister Dale Nally said player protection will be central; operators must provide account activity statements, respond to signs of problem gambling and connect to the AGLC’s central self-exclusion system. The AGLC may grant eligible unregulated operators extensions of up to three months, to 13 October, on a case-by-case basis.
Alberta's AGLC updated its iGaming standards on 18 June, ahead of the market's planned 13 July launch. The rules restrict where operators can advertise inducements and bonuses, require consent for direct marketing and prohibit certain promotions and advertising practices. The AGLC can require operators to amend or remove advertising it considers socially irresponsible or misleading.
