What PowerPlay brings to Alberta

PowerPlay is an Ontario-licensed sportsbook and casino that confirmed its Alberta launch plans in May 2026, with the head of the platform announcing they would enter the market on July 13. The operator is AGLC-registered and has built a reputation in Canada for deep in-play betting markets — over 100 live betting markets per game across major leagues — and hockey-specific promotions.

PowerPlay positions itself as a casino-leaning operator with a strong sportsbook attachment, offering odds boosts, early cash-out, and recurring hockey promotions throughout the NHL season. It has committed to a data-driven marketing approach in Alberta rather than competing purely on promotional spend with larger operators.
