bet365 went live in Alberta on July 13, adding a sportsbook and casino to the province’s newly regulated online market. The company is formally registered with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission. The Alberta casino offers 1,000-plus games, an RTP slider and filtering tools that sort by bonus features, volatility, provider and theme, while the company says withdrawals clear within 12 hours or less.
According to USA Today’s FTW betting vertical, the slots lobby includes 145-plus jackpot titles. Table games top 100 across 11 providers, and the live dealer section has 146 games from Playtech, Pragmatic Play and Evolution.
The same report said bet365’s mobile apps are live on both iOS and Android. On iOS, the casino runs as a separate app from the sportsbook, and both mobile versions mirror the desktop layout, including the filtering tools and game organisation. Minimum deposits are $10 across most payment methods, or $50 via PayPal, and minimum withdrawals are $10, or $20 for PayPal.
bet365’s responsible-gambling pitch rests on a global self-exclusion policy. If a player is marked self-excluded in any jurisdiction, the company applies that restriction across its platform, and the report said Alberta customers who had already excluded themselves elsewhere may already have that protection carried over automatically.
The company also works with BetGuard, which offers exclusion breaks of six months, one year, five years or a custom term. It says all deposits process instantly.
In a July 13 release, bet365 said it was bringing competitive odds, live betting and its Early Payout Offer to Alberta. It also pointed to its Sub On Play On promotion, which moves a player-prop bet to a substitute if the original player leaves the game, and said that promotion generated about $40 million in global payouts in the first 10 days of the 2026 World Cup.
bet365 said it has an official sports betting and online casino partnership with the CFL in Ontario and Alberta. The company added that the 2026 season will end with the 113th Grey Cup in Calgary on November 15.
Alberta’s market opened on July 13, becoming the second Canadian province to allow private operators in regulated online sports betting and iGaming after Ontario’s April 4, 2022 launch. Global News reported that nearly 50 companies had paid $200,000 in registration and permit fees ahead of the opening, while close to 20 were expected to be ready for customers.
Gaming Intelligence reported that 22 operators were approved to launch on day one, with more than 50 approved in total. It also said operators must put player protection and social responsibility first, offer financial and time limits, gaming activity statements and a provincewide self-exclusion program, and intervene when signs of high-risk gambling appear.
The same report said the province will collect 20 per cent of net revenue from approved online gambling sites, while 3 per cent of gross gaming revenue will be reinvested directly, including 2 per cent for First Nations and 1 per cent for social responsibility initiatives.
