Bet365 in Alberta: What Its New Licence Means for Bettors
Is Bet365 Legal in Alberta?
Yes, bet365 is one of 9 legal betting sites currently approved by the Alberta iGaming Corporation.
Bet365 has completed registration with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), the provincial regulator responsible for iGaming oversight and compliance. To operate in the province’s regulated market, bet365 also operates pursuant to an agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation.
This means Albertans can safely visit and sign up with bet365, backed by ongoing regulations and oversight by the local government. Eligible iGames conducted and managed by AiGC are only available to those physically present in the Province of Alberta.
Where is Bet365 Legal in Canada?
In Canada, bet365 is part of the regulated iGaming markets in Ontario and Alberta. The sportsbook is also accessible in other provinces through a separate domain, operating outside a province-specific regulated market.
As stated previously, in Alberta, bet365 has completed registration with Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) which operates pursuant to an agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation.
In Ontario, bet365 is registered with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and operates under an agreement with iGaming Ontario, which commercially manages private iGaming operators in the province. Eligible iGames conducted and managed by iGO are only available to those physically present in the Province of Ontario.
In all other provinces, bet365 is still able to accept Canadian players through the country’s current iGaming grey market. These provinces have not yet introduced open, privately regulated iGaming markets comparable to Ontario or Alberta, meaning the only provincially regulated online betting options are typically government-run platforms.
These platforms are usually operated through provincial lottery corporations and often combine casino games, sports betting, and lottery products in one place. While private betting sites such as bet365 are not officially regulated or endorsed by these provincial governments, Canadian players in these provinces can still sign up and use them through separate domains.
