What changes for offshore players

River Cree iGaming has conditional AGLC approval to operate in Alberta, but the platform was not among the 22 operators live when the market opened. "We'll be launching more towards the later part of this year," said Vik Mahajan, River Cree's CEO and general manager, in comments reported on launch day. Once live, it will operate under the same AGLC oversight as every other registered operator, including the province's centralised self-exclusion programme and audited game RTPs.

What to know

Online platform is not yet live — CEO confirmed launch delayed until later in 2026
Less digital-first track record than the major US sportsbook brands entering the same market
Interac, Visa, Mastercard and 48-hour withdrawals are the operator's stated plan, not yet verifiable until launch

Launch Offer
