The only fully legal AB online sportsbook available right now is PlayAlberta<\/strong>, which has an active sports betting license from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC)<\/strong>. That said, the introduction of Bill 48: the iGaming Alberta Act<\/strong> in March 2025 is set to pave the way for private betting operators come July 13, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other Alberta sportsbooks currently operate in somewhat of a “grey market” since legal sports betting is neither technically legal or illegal in the province. Despite being unable to operate in Alberta without a sports betting license from the AGLC, Albertans are still able to use certain grey market sportsbooks.<\/p>
