What bet365 brings to Alberta
bet365 is the second-largest online gambling operator in the world by revenue and has been operating in Ontario since the province opened its regulated market in 2022. Alberta marks its second Canadian province. The platform is registered with the AGLC under two business names: Hillside International Gaming and International Sports.
For Albertans who have been using bet365 as a grey-market operator, the July 13 transition means the same platform comes under AGLC oversight, bringing licensed self-exclusion, audited game RTPs, Interac deposits, and a local dispute resolution process. Existing grey-market accounts may need to be closed and reopened under the regulated Alberta product.
The bet365 sportsbook is known for competitive odds, deep in-play betting markets, and live streaming of events. The casino library in Ontario runs to over 2,000 titles including slots, live dealer blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. Alberta players can expect a comparable product at launch.
