Big things are happening in Alberta, but the biggest yet will begin Monday.
- Alberta’s regulated iGaming market launches Monday, July 13, opening the door for licensed online sportsbooks and casino operators to begin offering legal betting in the province.
- Major brands including bet365, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, theScore Bet, Caesars, BetRivers, and PointsBet are expected to be available on launch day, pending final regulatory approval.
- Several other operators, such as DAZN Bet, Betway, and BET99, are also pursuing Alberta launches, though some may arrive after opening day.
If you’re in Alberta, you’ll be there when the province’s new regulated iGaming market goes live July 13. But what you’ll probably want to know, too, is who else is going to be there with you.
Who can I bet with? What are my options?
That, after all, is what this new market is all about: authorizing, licensing, and regulating a bunch of online sports betting and casino gaming sites in the hopes that online gambling in Alberta will largely happen where the province has control and oversight.
So which online sportsbooks and casino betting sites will be launching in the new Alberta sports betting market?

There are no guarantees, as operators must still ensure they’ve checked all the regulatory boxes and received the green light from the province.
However, we at Covers have some answers. We'll be updating this page as we learn more, so check back.
Slam dunk, no doubt about it
Play Alberta - The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s (AGLC) iGaming platform is already live in the province, so it stands to reason it will still be there Monday.

Pretty sure
bet365 - The major online sports betting and iGaming operator plans on being there on Monday.
“We're really excited for (Alberta),” said Trip Stoddard, head of development at bet365, in an interview with Covers on Friday. “It should be a key market for us.”
DraftKings - The Boston-based online sportsbook and casino wagering company says it intends to launch those products in Alberta on July 13. It is already signing up customers in Alberta as well, as operators can preregister their soon-to-be bettors.
“With the anticipated launch aligning with the World Cup - hosted right here in North America - it’s a particularly exciting moment for sports fans in the province to engage with our platform,” Greg Karamitis, executive vice president and general manager of sports at DraftKings, said in a statement.
FanDuel - The biggest online sportsbook and casino operator in North America, FanDuel, says it is also preparing to go live in Alberta on Day 1. And, like longtime U.S. rival DraftKings, FanDuel says customers can preregister ahead of the iGaming market’s launch.
"Alberta represents an exciting new chapter for FanDuel Canada, and we look forward to the opportunity to bring our industry-leading Casino and Sportsbook experience to players across the province," said Dale Hooper, general manager at FanDuel Canada, in a statement.
BetMGM/Sports Interaction - BetMGM has already begun preregistration and is already telling customers that, pending regulatory approval, it, too, will launch in Alberta on July 13.
Moreover, Sports Interaction is owned by a part-owner of BetMGM, Entain, so there is a strong possibility that SIA will join Alberta’s regulated iGaming market at the earliest possible opportunity.
theScore Bet - theScore media app is something of a necessity among Canadian sports fans, and theScore Bet has already launched in one Canadian jurisdiction, Ontario. From all indications, the PENN Entertainment-owned online sportsbook (which is also doing preregistration) is on track to launch in Alberta on Day 1.
Online sportsbooks are getting into the starting gate in AB:

FanDuel Plans to Enter Alberta Sports Betting, iGaming Market July 13 https://t.co/LInyhMOQXN@Covers
Caesars - The well-known casino brand says it is preparing to launch three different brands Monday: Caesars Sportsbook, Caesars Palace Online, and Horseshoe Online Casino. Like others, it is already preregistering customers.
BetRivers - Another preregister-er of Alberta customers, the Rush Street Interactive iGaming brand is standing by to launch in the province.
PointsBet - The online sports betting and casino gaming operator was the first to begin preregistration in Alberta, so safe to say it is champing at the bit to go live Monday.
Maybe
DAZN Bet - The online gambling arm of the sports streaming service has obtained a license in Alberta, and has said they plan to launch in the province at some point in July. You know what a day in July is? July 13.
Pure Casino - Kambi, a sportsbook technology provider, and Pure Casino Entertainment, Alberta’s biggest casino operator, have already inked a sports betting-related deal for Alberta. TBD on whether they will launch on Day 1 in the province, but the infrastructure is being put in place.

PowerPlay - The online sportsbook operator said it is “positioning itself to enter Alberta as soon as licensing and onboarding processes are completed.”
Bally Bet - Another company already signing up its soon-to-be customers in Alberta via the preregistration process.
Betway - The online sportsbook’s parent company, Super Group, has been keen on Alberta and has signalled it wants to be live in the province’s regulated market as soon as possible.

Tonybet - The mobile bookmaker has a website that says it is "coming to Alberta on July 13th," which is a pretty clear sign it wants in on the ground floor of the province’s competitive iGaming market.
Coming soon, but maybe not right away
BET99 - The online sportsbook and casino site has its registration in hand from the AGLC, but TBD on when it officially joins Alberta’s regulated market.
Tooniebet - Another operator that has an Alberta sports betting license in its pocket. When we know, you’ll know.
Betano - Only recently obtained its iGaming registration, so that might signal a more gradual plan to enter Alberta. Or, it could signal nothing and Betano is ready and raring to go.
More to come.
