Last Updated May 19, 2026
In March 2026, the Alberta iGaming Corporation announced that its newly created regulated market will officially launch on July 13th, 2026! This means that many brands that have operated in Alberta under offshore licences will be able to apply for an Alberta licence to operate legally in the regulated market. This also opens the door for many of the brands that currently only operate in Ontario to also obtain an Alberta licence and expand their reach to a second province.
Top North American brands like DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesar's, and BetMGM are fully expected to complete the application process and become available to Albertans. We've broken down our favourite brands already available in Alberta that we expect to join the regulated market, as well as the top brands expected to enter Alberta for the first time! We'll continue putting out informational articles about the upcoming regulation launch to help you stay on top of the latest news and updates!

Where is Alberta in the Regulation Process
Latest Updates
March 30th, 2026 - Big news! The Alberta iGaming Corporation has announced a July 13th launch date for the upciming regulated betting market in Alberta!

Pre-registration processes have begun with a number of brands allowing users to sign up prior to the official launch date.
December 4th, 2025 - The launch date for Alberta's iGaming market has been delayed to hopefully mid-2026. Initial plans were for the launch to take place toward the end of the 1st quarter of 2026, but delays in planning have altered that plan.
June 2025 - Parts of Bill 48 come into force by establishing the Alberta iGaming Corporation and setting foundational legal authority for the new system.

What to Know Ahead of Alberta Launch
Things to Know Ahead of Alberta Market Launch
With Alberta’s new regulated betting market set to launch in July, 2026, we wanted to put together some quick info and questions that you might have leading up to the launch!
- Restrictions around advertising bonuses and promotions are expected to mirror the current restrictions in Ontario.
- Existing user accounts on grey-market sportsbooks will not transfer to the regulated market if that brand enters Alberta’s new market. That means if you have an account with a brand like BetVictor and they enter the regulated market, you will have to create a new account on the regulated version. Unfortunately, any open bets or futures will not carry, so you will need to cash out or cancel the bets if you can.
- Users will be able to pre-register for some sportsbooks before the initial launch, which may come with special promos and early sign-up bonuses.
- Alberta will not cap the number of licences for operators, which should create a strong, competitive market over time. This should help users get better odds and bonuses as each brand competes for user loyalty.
- PlayAlberta will still exist, so if you prefer to use that brand, you will be able to continue doing so.
- Some restrictions around types of bets are expected, such as betting on minor-league hockey and election betting. Those are not expected to be allowed in the new market.
- Payments and withdrawals are expected to be faster than what users see from offshore brands. The regulated market in general will create a safer betting environment, giving more protection to users than they have had in the grey market.
- Grey market sites that do not enter the regulated market will still be available in Alberta; users will not have the same protections around disputes and payment issues as they will from regulated brands.
- Like other regulated markets, you will need to be physically present in Alberta to access the regulated brands and place a bet. Sportsbooks have strong geo-location for this reason.
Always Gamble Responsibly
Curt Rollins
Responsible gambling is an essential aspect of using betting apps in Canada. Players are encouraged to see sports betting as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money, and to only wager what they can afford to lose.
If gambling ceases to be enjoyable or starts to feel problematic, help is accessible through confidential services throughout Canada.
Alberta Betting Apps FAQ
Can I use sports betting apps in Alberta, Canada?
Yes, sports betting apps are legal in Alberta. In July 2026, Alberta will launch a regulated sports betting market that will mirror the market that Ontario has been operating since 2022. Top brands like BetMGM, Caesar's, and Betano are expected to join the regulated market, giving Albertans access to more of the top reliable betting brands available.
Are sports betting apps safe to use in Alberta?
Yes. Currently most of the brands that are available in Alberta operate under offshore licences from jurisdictions like Malta and Curaçao but these are legit brands and are still safe for bettors to use.
In July, Alberta will be launching its own regulated market, similar to Ontario, which will increase the level of safety for bettors as well as the number of top brands that will be available in the Alberta market.
Will sportsbooks offer welcome bonuses in the new Alberta market?
Yes. The new Alberta market will likely mirror Ontario in many ways which means sportsbooks will offer promos and welcome bonuses for new users when they sign up.
It is also expected that advertising the bonuses will be restricted, much like Ontario, which makes it important to join an email list to be notified by the brands about new offers and promotional events.
Will Alberta's market have as many sportsbooks as Ontario?
Not immediately, but eventually, it could. Ontario has 40+ operators, and Alberta has no cap on licenses, meaning the market could grow significantly over time.
Are betting apps available in the App Store?
Yes, many betting apps can be downloaded from the App Store for iPhone users.
Some sportsbooks may not have a dedicated app in the App Store but do offer a progressive web app (PWA) that can be downloaded directly from their website. These apps function the same as those found in the App Store.
Are betting apps available in the Google Play Store?
Yes, some of the Android betting apps can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
Many betting Android betting apps are not available in the Play Store but do offer an APK(Android Package Kit) that can be downloaded directly from their website. These apps function the same as the apps that are found in the Play Store and can be downloaded in a couple of easy steps!

Growing up in New England, it was pretty much impossible for me not to become a huge sports fan. Winters were spent snowboarding all morning then watching the Patriots win in the afternoons, so I never really had a choice. Now, I get to turn that passion into my work by writing about the sports betting world and helping Canadian bettors find the best betting apps for their needs. My goal is to break things down in a clear, honest, and approachable way, so readers feel confident and informed before placing a bet, like getting advice from a friend who’s already done the homework.
