Why Sports Interaction stands out in Alberta
Sports Interaction is Canada's oldest and most established homegrown sportsbook, operating since 1997 and now owned by Entain plc. It holds an iGaming licence in Ontario and is AGLC-approved for Alberta from 13 July 2026. Unlike many operators entering Alberta from the United States, SIA has two decades of experience serving Canadian bettors specifically, including familiarity with NHL betting, CFL markets, and Canadian payment preferences.
SIA is consistently rated among the top sportsbooks in Canada for odds quality, particularly on hockey. Its parlay boost promotion — which increases profits on winning parlays by up to 200% depending on the number of legs — is one of the more competitive ongoing promotions in the Canadian market. The mobile app is available on iOS and Android and mirrors the full desktop experience.
For Albertans transitioning from offshore platforms, Sports Interaction represents a regulated alternative with a Canadian identity rather than a US operator entering a new market.
