Alberta Sports Betting Start Date in July

In late March, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission unveiled several key dates for regulated, provincial sports betting, setting July 13, 2026, as a cutoff date for gray operators to cease unregulated sports betting activity.

The cutoff date later became the official start date of the province’s regulated sports betting market.

The AGLC revealed that any interested sports betting operator will have to submit a completed application and pay all application registration fees to the commission no later than July 13, 2026, to be considered for a license.

If an operator cannot meet the July 13 submission date, the AGLC may consider a maximum of three months extension date to Oct. 13, 2026, on a case-by-case basis, only when an operator can demonstration a path to compliance was unattainable prior to July 13, 2026.

Pre-Registration Underway in Province

Several platforms have already opened up pre-registration in Alberta. DraftKings Alberta announced recently it intends to launch an online sportsbook and iGaming casino in the province during the Alberta sports betting scheduled launch date of July 13, 2026.
