Alberta’s first detailed snapshot of online casino game performance offers suppliers an early scoreboard, months before comparable province-wide revenue data is available.

The September 2026 Canada Online Game Performance Report from Eilers-Fantini tracks six Alberta operators, 71 suppliers and 4,584 unique games. Alberta’s regulated iGaming market opened on July 13, 2026. (Eilers-Fantini report)

The report estimates supplier performance within its sample. It does not measure Alberta’s official wagers, gaming revenue, player accounts or tax receipts. That distinction matters as the province builds its public record for the new market.

Light & Wonder ranks second

Light & Wonder ranked second among suppliers by estimated total gross gaming revenue share in the Alberta sample, with 13.4%, according to the report.

That figure reflects the operators and games tracked by Eilers-Fantini. It is not an official result issued by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission or the Alberta iGaming Corporation.

Alberta separates regulatory oversight from commercial market management. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission regulates the province’s iGaming industry. The Alberta iGaming Corporation handles commercial agreements, anti-money-laundering matters, financial reporting and income reporting. (Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission)

IGT leads on game depth

IGT ranked first in slot indexing, with 346 unique themes and an average Theo Win Index of 1.75 times the site average, the report says. That gives IGT the largest measured presence among indexed slot themes in the sample.

The results measure different kinds of strength. Light & Wonder’s 13.4% estimated share reflects performance across the tracked market. IGT’s 346 themes show the breadth of its indexed slot catalogue and its measured performance against the site average.

The early rankings are not a single league table. They compare estimated market performance with catalogue depth and indexed game results.

  • Six Alberta operators were included.
  • 71 suppliers were tracked.
  • 4,584 unique games were measured.
  • Light & Wonder recorded an estimated 13.4% total gross gaming revenue share.
  • IGT recorded 346 unique indexed slot themes.

Why the sample matters

Alberta gives registered private operators access to its regulated iGaming market through a two-step structure. Operators must register with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission and then sign a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation.

That structure has created a large online casino catalogue quickly. The Eilers-Fantini sample shows the early competition for visibility within it. A supplier can stand out through a smaller group of high-performing titles, a broad catalogue, or both.

The report also identifies a growing group of newer casino formats. Eight previously unranked crash games reached the report’s minimum performance threshold. Pragmatic Play’s High Flyer ranked first in that category. (Eilers-Fantini report)

What the numbers do not prove

The report does not establish Alberta’s total market revenue. It also does not show how much Albertans wagered, how many accounts were active, how much operators paid in tax, or how much money players deposited or withdrew.

Those measures require official, province-wide reporting based on consistent definitions. Comparing Eilers-Fantini’s estimated supplier share with an official provincial revenue total would mix different measures.

For players, formal safeguards remain tied to Alberta’s regulatory framework. Registered operators must integrate with the province’s centralized self-exclusion program. Players can exclude themselves from iGaming, land-based casinos and racing entertainment centres, or from both. (Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission)

The snapshot answers which suppliers are gaining traction on Alberta’s new casino shelf, but it does not yet reveal the size of the province’s regulated online market.
