How to Verify an Alberta iGaming Operator

A regulator-first workflow for checking whether an online gambling operator is part of Alberta’s regulated market.

Quick answer

In Alberta, a legal private iGaming operator must be registered with AGLC and have a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation. Verify current status through official Alberta sources before depositing.

AGLC registration

AGLC handles regulatory registration and oversight.

AiGC commercial agreement

AGLC states that operators also need a commercial agreement with AiGC.

Look for official market signals

AGLC notes that approved-operator advertising uses the Alberta iGaming Corporation logo, but a logo alone should not replace checking the current official entity/operator information.

Match the exact brand/site

Confirm that the operator information corresponds to the exact gambling site or app you plan to use.

New-market caution

The market launched July 13, 2026, so third-party reviews written before launch may already be obsolete or may describe the former unregulated environment.
