The legal framework, in short

The provincially authorised online casino in Alberta is PlayAlberta.ca, operated by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). Alberta passed the iGaming Alberta Act in 2025 to open a regulated market to licensed private operators; until those licences are live, PlayAlberta.ca is the provincially authorised site and offshore platforms operate without provincial oversight. Players are not prosecuted for using them, but their recourse in a dispute is limited to the foreign regulator. The minimum gambling age in Alberta is 18, and sites check it with ID before any withdrawal.

Gambling responsibly at Police Point

Gambling should stay entertainment. Decide how much and how long before you start, never try to win back what you lost, and switch on the limits on offer. If gambling becomes a worry, the Alberta Addiction Helpline (1-866-332-2322) is free, confidential and available to everyone in Alberta, Police Point included. Self-exclusion programs run by AGLC cover the provincial site and land-based venues.
