Red Deer Resort & Casino and iGaming

The regulated online gaming market in Alberta opened on July 13, 2026. Its work is split between two bodies. AiGC, the Alberta iGaming Corporation, handles management of the market, and AGLC serves as its regulator. Legal operation requires an online operator to register with AGLC and to conclude an operating agreement with AiGC. Registration and the operating agreement are two separate steps, and both are required.

When the market launched, 22 registered iGaming sites had approval. That number refers to launch, so the directory described below is the place to see the list. Registered operators each have to ensure that play is open only to people physically located in Alberta. What matters is the player's location during play.

The province operates its own online gaming site, Play Alberta, found at PlayAlberta.ca. Revenue from it goes to the Government of Alberta, and AGLC handles its management.

Registered iGaming sites are listed by AiGC in a directory found at abigaming.ca/players/registered-igaming-sites. A player can look up an operator's name there before playing. An operator missing from the directory is not regulated. The AiGC logo appears on approved operators. That logo is easy to spot, yet the directory remains the record worth checking.

Alberta sets 18 as the legal age for gambling. Guests who appear younger than 25 must show valid government-issued photo ID, which casino staff are required to check. Entry to the casino floor at Red Deer Resort & Casino is for guests aged 18 or older.

No bets are placed through the guide, and it holds no accounts. Its home page alone carries paid links, and each bears the Ad label. One is in the menu, one appears right after the opening view, and the last sits near the page's end. Every one of them opens an online casino partner owned by a private company, which pays a commission to the guide. Because that partner may be replaced, the guide leaves it unnamed.

AGLC's standards apply to anyone who promotes an online gaming site in Alberta. Every ad needs a responsible gambling message, and none may aim at minors or feature people who look like minors. No ad may tie gaming to attractiveness or status.
