AGLC is the Alberta provincial regulator and operator of PlayAlberta.ca, currently the only legal online casino in Alberta. Alberta has announced a competitive online-gaming market modelled on Ontario’s, but as of mid-2026 the regulatory framework is still being finalized and no third-party operators are licensed yet.
Also known as: Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis
Until Alberta’s competitive market launches, PlayAlberta is the only AGLC-sanctioned online gambling site for Alberta residents. Other sites accepting Alberta players are operating outside the provincial framework.
AGLC also regulates in-person gambling (casinos, racetracks), liquor licensing, and cannabis retail across Alberta. Its mandate is broader than AGCO’s, which is gaming-only.
Alberta residents looking for problem-gambling support can contact the Alberta Gambling Helpline at 1-866-332-2322, available 24/7.
