About Jolly First
Jolly First is an independent Alberta iGaming review and comparison site. We cover AGLC-licensed operators launching in Alberta's regulated market on 13 July 2026.
What Jolly First is
Jolly First is an affiliate site. We earn commissions when readers click through to operators and create accounts. This is how the site is funded. We disclose this on every page, in every review, and in our privacy policy.
Our revenue model does not affect the accuracy of the information we publish, the ratings we give, or the order in which operators appear on comparison pages. Operators cannot pay for placement or higher ratings. Every rating on this site is based on our editorial assessment of the operator's product, regulatory standing, and track record.
Jolly First covers only AGLC-licensed operators. We do not promote grey-market or offshore sites to Alberta players.
How we review operators
Alberta's regulated iGaming market opened on 13 July 2026. Until operators go live, our reviews are based on:
- The operator's AGLC registration status and product scope
- The operator's track record in Ontario's regulated market, which opened in April 2022
- Publicly available information about welcome offers, payment methods, and product features
- Industry reporting from Canadian Gaming Business, Covers, and other regulated-market sources
We mark all unconfirmed details with [VERIFY] and update pages as operators publish confirmed Alberta-specific information. After July 13, reviews will be updated based on direct testing of each operator's Alberta product.
Our editorial standards
Jolly First applies the following standards to all content:
- We do not invent or estimate welcome offer terms. If we cannot verify a figure, we say so.
- We do not carry over terms from one operator to another. Each operator's offer is reviewed independently.
- We do not describe offshore or unregulated operators as safe or recommended alternatives to AGLC-licensed platforms.
- We correct errors promptly. If you find an inaccuracy, contact us.
Who runs this site
Jolly First is operated by RoI² Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16109437). The site is managed from Europe with editorial focus on Alberta's iGaming market.
We are not affiliated with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), or any licensed operator. We are an independent third-party review and comparison site.
