What changes for offshore players

If you have been playing on an unregulated site, the BetRivers Alberta launch is the first time you can do the same thing under AGLC oversight, meaning a licensed self-exclusion system, audited game RTPs, and a dispute process if a withdrawal does not arrive. BetRivers processes Interac withdrawals within 24 hours for verified accounts.
