DraftKings Alberta: Legal Updates, Promo & App Review for 2025

Alberta is set to become the second province in Canada to house legal sports betting via private sportsbooks within its borders, and it should come as no surprise that DraftKings Alberta is eager to be at the front of the line when Alberta sports betting apps enter the market in early 2026.

While you won’t be able to legally use DraftKings Sportsbook in Alberta until the province officially opens the doors to private sports betting apps, we’ve got you covered with all the information you need to know surrounding the app and potential DraftKings Alberta promo to keep your eye on.

Is DraftKings Legal in Alberta?

DraftKings is not currently legal in Alberta, however, that is expected to change come Q1 2026 when the legal sports betting market is set to expand outside of the government-run PlayAlberta to include other online sportsbooks such as bet365, BetMGM, FanDuel, and more.

DraftKings Alberta is expected to be one of the first private sports betting sites and apps to be active in the province upon launch. Alberta is slated to become the second Canadian province to legalize online sports betting for private operators which puts them ahead of other provinces such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec.

DraftKings Alberta Promo Code

The DraftKings promo code for new users in Alberta has yet to be announced in full, but we’ve gathered the information we do have in order to paint a clearer picture of what you can expect come launch day:

Expected DraftKings Alberta Signup Bonus

While we’re not exactly sure what kind of signup bonus sports bettors will see in Alberta, we can use the information we know from previous US state launches and Ontario to get a better understanding of what might come your way as a first-time customer.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see DraftKings Alberta join the fray with a Bet $5, Get $200 in Bonus Bets Instantly promo. While DraftKings does change their welcome offer from time-to-time, this “Bet and Get” promo is one of the most consistent ones I’ve seen from them.

Some US states also offer a deposit match bonus that gives you up to 20% of your initial deposit up to $1,000. If DraftKings Alberta does end up offering both, I’d certainly go with the “Bet and Get” promo as it’s a lower barrier of entry and you’ll land $200 in bonus bets just for placing a $5 bet on the game or event of your choosing.

How to Sign Up & Get Bonus Bets With DraftKings Alberta Promo Code

Signing up with DraftKings and getting your hands on the promo should be an easy process in Alberta that will match the simplicity in other DraftKings legal states and Ontario. Here’s the steps you’ll likely need to take:

• Click through our DraftKings AB promo code link when available.
• Choose Alberta as your province: you must be physically located in Alberta.
• Sign up for your new account with your personal information: email address, phone number, street address, and last four digits of your social security number.
• Choose the banking method of your choice and make your first deposit.

Depending on whether the welcome bonus will be the “Bet and Get” offer or the deposit match bonus, the process might slightly vary in terms of the minimum deposit you’ll need to make.

Types of Bets Available at DraftKings AB

Take a look at some of the most common betting options that you’ll be able to make once DraftKings Alberta goes live in early 2026:

• Moneyline: The simplest type of bet you can make, you’re essentially just picking the winner of a certain game or event. For example, you might see the Edmonton Oilers (-200) against the Calgary Flames (+150) in the Battle of Alberta. For a moneyline bet of this nature, the Oilers would be the favourites over the Flames and you would win your wager for betting on them if they won their game.
• Spread betting: Betting on the point spread requires your chosen team to win a game by certain number of points. If the Oilers are listed at -1.5 over the Flames, then they would need to beat their rivals by a minimum of two goals in order for you to win the bet.
• Total (Over/Under): This type of bet means you’re betting on the total score of the game to be over or under a certain amount. If the total for an Oilers vs. Flames game is set at 5.5 goals, then you’ll need a total of six goals scored in the game for you to win the bet if you picked the over.
• Parlays: Parlays are bets that combine more than one wager from more than one game. DraftKings also offers same-game parlays which is a combination of different types of bets from one game versus the traditional parlay that combines different bets from different games or events.
• Props: Props are very specific types of bets that can apply to the team (team props) or individual players (player props) down to very novel props like Super Bowl halftime performances and Gatorade colour.
• Live Betting: Bet on games as they happen in real-time with odds that change according to how the game is going. It’s an exciting way to get in on the action of game or event while it’s happening and you’re watching.
• Futures: Futures bets are exactly what they sound like, betting on an outcome that is in the future. If you think the Oilers will win a Stanley Cup in 2026, for example, DraftKings will have futures odds on that happening usually before the NHL season starts so you can land the best odds.

Key Features and Ongoing Promotions at DraftKings Alberta

New users aren’t the only ones who can take advantage of sweet promos at DraftKings Alberta. I’m expecting that there will be a number of great all-user bonuses to choose from once the sportsbook is up and running in the province.

Here are some of my personal favourite promotions that I expect to see:

• Stepped Up Parlays: DraftKings gives you an opportunity to earn profit boosts for every parlay leg you add, starting with the third leg. If you add 10 legs, you’ll land a full 100% profit boost.
• DraftKings SGPx: The DraftKings SGPx gives you the ability to combine different same-game parlays for an even bigger payout.
• DraftKings Pools: Your standard sports betting pool where you can bet against other fans and win cash prizes.
• Daily Odds Boosts: These give you the ability to get better odds on a game or event that you’re betting on.
