Alberta opened sports betting to private sportsbooks on 13 July 2026, alongside online casinos. Before that, Play Alberta, run by the province, was the only legal place to bet online. Every sportsbook on this page is regulated in Alberta, and we checked each one against its own Alberta pages.

You need to be 18 or older, and physically in Alberta, to bet. They’re listed in the order of our overall scores. Betting from Ontario? See our Ontario sports betting guide.

Alberta sports betting at a glance

Alberta sportsbooks compared

In order of our overall score. Payout speed is what each sportsbook publishes for Alberta, from asking for a withdrawal to the money being sent. App ratings are for each brand’s sportsbook app on Apple’s Canadian App Store, checked 9 November 2026; most of these apps serve more than one province.

Alberta betting apps

Every sportsbook here works in your phone’s browser, and all but DAZN Bet’s brand-new app have ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store. FanDuel and BetRivers have the highest-rated apps, both 4.8, though BetRivers’ rating comes from far fewer people. bet365’s sports app has the most ratings by a distance, about 185,000, followed by Betway’s at about 73,000. Play Alberta’s Casino & Sports app, run by the AGLC, is rated 4.3 from about 5,100.

Two things to check before you download. Make sure the app is the Alberta one: several brands, including Tonybet and DAZN Bet, publish separate Alberta apps. And check your iPhone’s iOS version, as BetMGM and Sports Interaction need iOS 18 and DraftKings, theScore Bet, Bally Bet and Caesars need iOS 17.

1. BetRivers: best for fast withdrawals

BetRivers runs a separate Alberta site at ab.betrivers.ca, with its own Alberta help centre. Its sportsbook and casino share one account and one wallet.

That help centre says its RushPay system approves the majority of withdrawals instantly. On the betting side, it offers Cash Out, which lets you settle a bet before the event ends. Depending on how the game is going, you can get back more or less than your stake. There’s also live in-game betting, and Teaser+ bets on NFL and NBA games, built from two to eight picks.

2. bet365: best for a huge sports menu with fast withdrawals

bet365 covers more than 40 sports in Alberta with live betting, and its sportsbook app is rated 4.7 from about 184,000 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store, the most-rated betting app we’ve checked. Its Alberta help centre lists Interac and card withdrawals processed in 1 to 4 hours, with a C$10 minimum.

3. Bally Bet: best for fast published payouts, for bettors 19 and over

Bally Bet’s sportsbook and casino share one account and one app, rated 4.6 from about 4,300 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store. Its help centre says most withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, with a C$10 minimum. Its own minimum age in Alberta is 19.

4. DraftKings: best for a big-name sportsbook app

DraftKings is run in Alberta by Crown DK Can Ltd. and is on the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory. Its Alberta help article lists live betting, live streaming, betting groups and cash out on eligible bets, and its sportsbook app is rated 4.7 from about 21,000 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store. You can bet in the app or a desktop browser, but not in a phone browser. Its minimum withdrawal is C$1.

5. BetMGM: best for a dedicated sports app

BetMGM’s Alberta help centre says its sports app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Its Alberta terms are with BetMGM Canada Inc., and say the service is conducted and managed by the Alberta iGaming Corporation.

Withdrawals are the trade-off. BetMGM’s Alberta withdrawal page says every withdrawal goes through an internal review of up to 3 to 5 days. After that, Interac and PayPal pay within 24 hours.

6. Betway: best for a highly rated sports app

Betway’s sports app is rated 4.7 from about 73,000 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store, with live betting, cash out and esports. Its Alberta terms set a C$10 minimum withdrawal, but withdrawals wait up to 72 hours before processing starts, and it doesn’t publish payout times for Alberta.

Read our Betway Alberta review

7. Sports Interaction: best for no Interac withdrawal fees

Sports Interaction covers the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, CFL and UFC with live betting, Same Game Parlays and 2UP Early Payout on soccer. It doesn’t charge for Interac withdrawals, but each one is reviewed for up to 2 business days before Interac takes 1 to 3 more.

Read our Sports Interaction Alberta review

8. BET99: best for Canadian teams and leagues

BET99’s Alberta site is run by 2786638 Alberta Inc. from Edmonton, and its Alberta terms say it’s licensed by the AGLC and contracted by the Alberta iGaming Corporation. It’s on the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory of registered sites, which links to ab.bet99.ca.

The sportsbook is the front page of its Alberta site. Its sports menu listed 30 sports when we checked, with the NHL, NFL, CFL, NBA and Premier League among the top leagues, and the minimum bet is C$0.10. It offers Same Game Parlays and Flash Bets, and its terms say Cash Out is offered on selected events and markets, before and during games. On withdrawals, its terms allow up to 5 business days of processing, deposits must be wagered at least once before you can withdraw them, and it doesn’t publish a minimum withdrawal or payout times by method.

9. theScore Bet: best for sports fans who use theScore app

theScore Bet comes from theScore, the Canadian sports news app, and it’s run in Alberta by Score Media and Gaming Inc. on behalf of the Alberta iGaming Corporation. Its sportsbook app is rated 4.7 from about 30,000 ratings on Apple’s Canadian App Store, and covers same game parlays, in-play betting and early cash out. The same account includes theScore Casino.

Its help centre sets a C$10 minimum withdrawal, but says requests can take up to 72 hours to process, then 1 to 3 business days to arrive.

10. Caesars: best for phone support, for bettors 21 and over

Caesars Sportsbook & Casino is run in Alberta by American Wagering, Inc., under registration with the AGLC, and offers phone support as well as live chat. Its Alberta terms only let you bet from 21, three years above Alberta’s legal age, and it doesn’t publish payout times for Alberta.

Read our Caesars Alberta review

11. Tonybet: best for 24/7 live chat

Tonybet runs a sportsbook with live betting, boosted odds and a pick’em game in Alberta, licensed by the AGLC. It aims to process withdrawals within 48 hours, with a C$10 minimum, but caps them at C$4,000 a day.

Read our Tonybet Alberta review

12. FanDuel: the biggest name

FanDuel is the most-searched sportsbook in Alberta by a wide margin. Its Canadian site confirms it’s open in Alberta, for players 18 and over who are physically in the province, and FanDuel Sportsbook is on the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory of registered sites.

FanDuel’s Alberta sites are run by FanDuel Canada ULC under AGLC licence 120396. Its Alberta terms cover live betting, Same Game Parlays and Cash Out, which they say is offered at FanDuel’s discretion and isn’t guaranteed for any bet. On withdrawals, the terms only promise processing within 5 working days, and its public Alberta pages don’t give minimums or payout times by method. Check them in the FanDuel cashier before you deposit.

13. DAZN Bet: best for DAZN subscribers

DAZN Bet is the betting arm of the DAZN streaming service, registered in Alberta under AGLC registration 120545, with its own Alberta app. It doesn’t publish Alberta payment methods, minimums or payout times, and its help centre is written for the UK.

Read our DAZN Bet Alberta review

14. Play Alberta: the province’s own sportsbook

Play Alberta has taken sports bets for longer than any private sportsbook in the province. Its help centre lists the sports you can bet on, including hockey, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, MMA, boxing, tennis, golf and Formula 1. It says its odds and markets are managed by Sporting Solutions, a specialist provider with a presence in Edmonton.

The minimum withdrawal is C$10, and most first-time withdrawals are reviewed within two business days. One rule to know before you deposit: Play Alberta says you can only withdraw winnings, not money you’ve deposited.

How to check an Alberta sportsbook is legal

1. Look for the licence notice at the bottom of the sportsbook’s Alberta site.
2. Check the brand on the Alberta iGaming Corporation’s directory of registered sites.
3. Make sure you’re on the Alberta version. Most sportsbooks run separate Alberta and Ontario sites, such as ab.betrivers.ca and on.betrivers.ca.

On the day we checked, the top result in Google for “sportsbook Alberta” was a page on an unrelated website copying sportsbook text, and a sportsbook that isn’t part of Alberta’s regulated market also ranked on page one. If a site can’t show you an Alberta licence, none of Alberta’s player protections apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is sports betting legal in Alberta? Yes. Private sportsbooks regulated in Alberta have been allowed since 13 July 2026, and Play Alberta has offered sports betting for longer.

How old do you have to be to bet on sports in Alberta? 18.

What’s the best sports betting site in Alberta? BetRivers scores highest in our reviews, for fast withdrawals. bet365 publishes the fastest processing times, 1 to 4 hours, and Bally Bet processes most withdrawals within 24 hours. Play Alberta is the option if you’d rather bet with the province’s own site.

Do you pay tax on sports betting winnings in Alberta? Generally no. The Canada Revenue Agency treats winnings from casual gambling as windfalls rather than income. It can be different if gambling is your business, so ask an accountant if that might apply to you.

Can you bet on a single game in Alberta? Yes. Single-game betting has been legal across Canada since August 2021, so you don’t have to combine several games into a parlay.

Which Alberta sportsbook has the best app? FanDuel’s and BetRivers’ sportsbook apps are both rated 4.8 on Apple’s Canadian App Store. bet365’s has the most ratings, about 185,000, at 4.7.

Can I use my Ontario sportsbook account in Alberta? No. Sportsbooks run separate Alberta and Ontario sites, and each checks your location. For Ontario, see our Ontario sports betting guide.
