As a gambler in Alberta Canada, you have quite a few major sports to bet on. Of course, ice hockey is the king of sports in Canada and there are plenty of betting opportunities available for the sport. Canadians also enjoy betting on other professional sports, and most of the top events for these games are included on leading Canadian Sportsbook sites.

• Hockey
• Soccer
• Football
• Lacrosse
• NBA Basketball

Canadian gamblers that are more interested in casino games enjoy playing a wide range of games. These are readily available to players in Alberta Canada as well, giving serious gamblers a lot to put their money on while playing there.

• Online slots
• Video poker
• Blackjack
• Roulette
• Poker tournaments

While the government doesn't run Alberta gambling sites of its own, you have plenty of options to play online casino games. In fact, if the AB government were to start their own gambling online Alberta site tomorrow, other internationally regulated casinos would still be open in the province, much like they are in other parts of Canada like BC and Quebec.

Use any of our trusted links to play at a casino that's honest, reputable, and fair. We have a rigorous testing process with every casino online, looking at elements including:

• Licensing: All sites must be licensed with reputable gambling boards.
• Security: They also all need to use the latest SSL encryption technology to keep your transactions secure.
• Compatibility: With so many gamblers in Alberta using mobile devices, casinos online must work well on computers, tablets and smartphones.
• Games: Whether you're looking for the latest progressive slot games or classic roulette, casinos need to give players a range of high-quality games to choose from.
• Banking methods: Using secure and well-known banking methods, each site must give gamblers options for instant deposits and withdrawals.
• Customer service: In the event of any question or concern, the customer support should be easily accessible with prompt and friendly responses.

Today, if you live in Alberta, you can play at any gambling online Alberta casino you want. However, the government doesn't run the sites. Instead, offshore gaming operators usually do, and some are regulated by international gaming authorities.

As a result, the government of Alberta is showing signs that it may move to create an Alberta online gambling site of its own with an HQ in Canada. But you don't have to wait for that to happen. Remember, all the online gambling Alberta sites we recommend are absolutely safe to play at and meet existing Alberta gambling laws.

• In 2012, Alberta's government started replacing the province's out-dated video lottery terminals.
• The Alberta gambling age is 18 years or older.
• The Ministry of Gaming was abolished in 2006, with the AGLC now reporting to the treasury board and finance minister.
