Alberta’s iGaming Sites Jump to 41, but the Market’s Money Remains Hidden
Alberta added seven regulated iGaming sites in five days, yet official figures on wagers, revenue and active accounts are still unavailable.
Alberta’s regulated iGaming directory reached 41 sites by October 9, up from 34 on October 4. The province has still not published comparable figures for wagers, revenue or player accounts.
The expansion comes four days before Alberta’s October 13 deadline for operators moving into the regulated system.
The directory includes casino and sportsbook brands listed by the Alberta iGaming Corporation, or AiGC. Names include Bet365, FanDuel, DraftKings, PowerPlay, Spin Casino, Sports Interaction and theScore Bet. (Alberta iGaming Corporation)
Two registers, two different answers
Alberta’s market uses two separate public systems. The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, or AGLC, regulates companies and compliance. AiGC manages commercial agreements, anti-money-laundering obligations, complaints, financial controls and market reporting. (AGLC)
AGLC’s register lists 40 companies in the “iGaming Operator” class. That is not the same as the number of live websites.
One company can operate more than one brand. Some registered companies have not yet appeared in AiGC’s public site directory.
AGLC says operators need both registration with the regulator and a commercial agreement with AiGC. Registration alone does not prove that a specific website is approved for Alberta players. (AGLC)
The supply is growing faster than the data
Alberta’s regulated market opened on July 13, 2026, with 22 approved sites. The increase to 41 represents 19 additional entries since launch, according to the public directory and market tracker. (Alberta iGaming Corporation)
But the public data still does not show how the market is performing. As of October 10, no official Alberta totals had been published for:
- sports wagers or casino stakes;
- gross gaming revenue or net gaming revenue;
- active player accounts;
- deposits, withdrawals or channelization from unregulated sites.
AiGC’s public reports page identifies quarterly expense disclosures and annual compensation disclosures. It does not list a market-performance report with wagering or revenue totals. (Alberta iGaming Corporation)
Why the missing figures matter
Alberta’s government has said the regulated system is intended to move activity away from the grey market and bring more revenue into the province.
Under the published model, operators receive 80% of net iGaming revenue. The government retains 20% after funding for First Nations and social responsibility initiatives. (Government of Alberta)
The province has also estimated that unregulated operators capture about 70% of Alberta’s total iGaming market. Without official figures for wagers, revenue or player activity, there is no public baseline for measuring whether the new system is changing that balance. (Government of Alberta)
Alberta’s directory shows availability. It does not show usage, market share or whether regulated sites are pulling players away from unregulated operators.
That leaves a basic question unanswered: has Alberta built a large regulated supply, or is it capturing a large share of real gambling activity? The answer will require the figures that have not yet been published.
What players can verify
For Alberta players, the clearest public check is the exact website address in AiGC’s registered-sites directory.
The provincial framework also requires operators to integrate with AGLC’s centralized self-exclusion program. The program can cover regulated iGaming, land-based casinos and racing entertainment centres, or both. (AGLC)
Alberta’s regulated iGaming market now has 19 more listed sites than it did at launch. Until AiGC publishes comparable figures, the public can count the websites but not the market they represent.
