About
About this site, and the rules it is written under
Alberta Casinos Online is an independent guide to the province's regulated online market, written from the public record (the AiGC list, AGLC's standards and the province's own announcements) and from games played in their free versions. It is paid by the operators it lists, and this page sets out what that means for what you read here.
Why a guide to one province
Alberta opened its private online market on July 13, 2026, with twenty-two sites on the first day, and by the time we read the list on November 12, 2026 it held fifty-one, run by some thirty companies (the list names them). Much of what circulates about it was written for Ontario, or for the "offshore sites" that served the province for years before the law changed.
This site was built for the new market rather than adapted to it, and it has no history in the offshore trade that it needs to protect. Every operator it names is on the AiGC list, with the row and the company printed beside it, and every page about the law cites the document it comes from (the "iGaming Alberta Act", AGLC's "Standards and Requirements for Internet Gaming", or a bulletin with its date).
What it covers
The site has four parts, which follow the questions that a player in the province actually has: which sites are registered and who runs them, how the games work (with seven of them played in demo), what the law requires of operators and players, and how to stay safe, from limits and "self-exclusion" to the scams that target players. Each part has a page that opens it (the casinos, the games, the law and staying safe), and the "menu" at the top of every page lists them all, so that you can go straight to the part that answers your question.
The rules it is written under
The first rule is that a reader can check everything that matters without trusting us, which is why the cards print the row on the list and the date we read it, and why the law pages link to the documents themselves. The second is that operators appear in the order of their company and then their name, never in the order of the "commission" they pay.
The third rule is the province's own: AGLC's standards keep bonuses and other "inducements" off affiliate pages, so this site prints no offers, and it prints no ratings of its own either (a score from a site paid by the operators it scores would be worth what it costs to make). Where a review shows an average from a "public review site", the site is named; the number of reviews behind the average is given too.
How the site is paid
When a reader opens an account through an operator link on one of our "commercial pages" (the cards and the buttons marked as such), the operator pays this site a commission. That is the whole of the business. The pages about scams, responsible gambling and the site itself carry no operator names and no commercial links at all, wherever the reader is. The commission never buys a place in the order.
How the games were tested
The seven games were played in their free "demo versions" on November 12, 2026, and what their "rules screens" said was written down beside the screenshots; nobody here has played them, or any casino on the list, for real money. We would rather make that limited claim than a larger one, and the page on playing in demo explains what a demo can show and what it cannot.
Who writes it
The pages are written and checked by a small "editorial team" (no author here writes under an invented name), which signs them collectively as the editorial team of Alberta Casinos Online, and the publisher's details are set out on the privacy page, as the law requires. Each page carries the date when it was last updated, and a page whose facts change (a bulletin, a new row on the list) is rewritten and dated again rather than left to age.
Corrections
A mistake reported to us is corrected, and the correction is dated, whoever reports it and however small it is. The address is on the contact page, and a reader who finds a sentence here that no longer matches the list or the standards has found exactly the kind of error that we most want to hear about!
A reader new to the market might begin with the page on the law, then how to check a site, and keep the pages on responsible gambling and where to find help close at hand.
Questions readers ask
Who publishes this site?
The publisher is named on the privacy page, with its address and the contact for privacy requests. The editorial team signs every page, and the only address for readers is the email on the contact page.
How does the site make money?
Operators pay a commission when a reader opens an account through one of the links on our commercial pages. The commission does not change which operators are listed or in what order, and no page carries a bonus offer.
Have you played at these casinos with real money?
No. The games on this site were played in their free demo versions, and the operator pages are built from the AiGC list, the operators' own terms and public review averages, each named with its source.
How do I report a mistake?
Write to the address on the contact page with the page and the sentence. Corrections are made and dated, and a page that changes because of a reader's report says so.
