The six companies behind the seventeen names, and every site each one runs

On the Alberta list a site is a row, and every row names the company that runs it. Seventeen names on this site come down to six companies, and reading them by company instead of by brand is the quickest way to understand what a player is actually dealing with.

Why the company comes first

When AGLC registers an operator it registers a company, and when AiGC signs its commercial agreement it signs with that same company, which then runs one or more "sites" (each with its own name, colours and address). The brand is what you see; the company is what the province sees, and it is the company that answers for every promise made under every name it runs.

Fifty-one sites sat on the list on November 12, 2026, run by thirty-one named companies (two rows, both Caesars, show none). Three companies account for fifteen of those rows between them. Two of the three are behind most of the names on this site, which is a fact worth having before choosing among names that look unrelated.

Apollo Entertainment: seven sites and one loyalty scheme

Apollo Entertainment runs seven of the fifty-one sites, more than any other company on the list, and all seven belong to the group known to players as "Casino Rewards" (a loyalty programme whose points follow the player from one brand to another). Five appear on the list with the word "Alberta" in front of the name, while Yukon Gold and Zodiac appear without it, and the addresses all begin with "ab." and end in ".casino" (a pattern worth remembering when checking a link).

The company's rules for these sites ask for a minimum age of nineteen, one year above the provincial minimum, and its guidelines to partners spell out the advertising rules more clearly than most. We describe the seven together on one page about the Casino Rewards brands, because seven separate reviews of the same company would say the same thing seven times.

Cadtree and Cadway: four casinos and a sportsbook

Cadtree Limited runs Jackpot City, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune and Spin Casino, each at an address ending in "/alberta/" on its Canadian domain (spincasino.ca, for instance), and the four share a look that a regular player will recognize at once. Cadway Limited runs Betway (row 16, at "betway.ca/ca-ab"), and the commissions of both companies reach us through the same programme, "Super Partners", which is the kind of connection a card should show and usually does not.

The four Cadtree casinos are the hardest names on this site to tell apart, and we have tried to give each review a different subject rather than a different adjective: Spin Casino for the company itself, Jackpot City for the meaning of a large review count, Royal Vegas for what a small one cannot tell you, and Ruby Fortune for the complaint route.

Skill On Net, L7 Entertainment and the 888 business

Skill On Net Ltd. sits on four rows (Mega Casino, PlayOJO, Slots Magic and SpinGenie), and our pages cover the two for which the owner of this site has a link, Mega Casino and Spin Genie. L7 Entertainment runs LuckyDays (row 31), which we list without a button, as explained on the full index; the site is registered like every other on the list, and the missing button says something about our commercial arrangements and nothing at all about the operator.

The 888 entry is row 1, simply called "888" and run by a company the list writes as "VHL Ontario Ltd o/a Evoke PLC" (Evoke being the name of the group formerly known as 888 Holdings). One registration covers a casino and a poker room, which is why our page on 888 treats them together, as two products of one business.

What a shared company means for you

Sister sites often share the "account system" (the software that holds the balance, the identity checks and the limits), so it is common for a player who has verified an identity at one brand to find the same documents already on file at another. That is convenient, and it also means that a decision taken by the company about one account (a restriction, a closed account, a dispute) can travel across its sites.

The province's self-exclusion goes further than any company, since it covers every registered site at once; a limit set on one brand, on the other hand, usually stays on that brand. It is worth checking where a limit applies before relying on it, and the page on responsible gambling explains the tools that every registered site must offer.

A last point, which we would rather state than leave implied. Two sites from the same company are not two independent opinions about a game or a payment, so a player comparing Jackpot City with Spin Casino is comparing two shop windows of one business, and a player comparing either with Betway is comparing two businesses that share an owner's programme. Neither comparison is useless. They are simply different comparisons, and the list is what tells them apart!
