Why Interac is the standard deposit method in Alberta
Interac e-Transfer is Canada's national bank transfer network, supported by every major Canadian bank and credit union. For Alberta casino players it is the default payment method because transfers move directly between your bank account and the casino with no third-party account, no currency conversion, and no fees charged by most banks for standard transfers.
Every AGLC-licensed operator launching July 13 accepts Interac. The differences between operators are withdrawal speed and minimum deposit amounts.

What about Visa, Mastercard, and e-wallets?
All AGLC-licensed operators accept Visa and Mastercard for deposits. Some Canadian bank-issued credit cards block gambling transactions by default. If your card is declined, contact your bank. Visa Debit is accepted at most operators and is not subject to the same block.
PayPal is not available at any AGLC-licensed Alberta operator at launch. Skrill and Neteller availability varies. None of the major US-origin operators support these methods in the regulated Canadian market.
