Online play is a separate matter from the floor of Red Deer Resort & Casino at 3310 50 Avenue. Below, the survey desk sets out how Alberta has arranged it, in plain terms.

The market
Two bodies, one market
Alberta opened a regulated online gaming market on July 13, 2026. AGLC regulates the market. The Alberta iGaming Corporation, known as AiGC, manages it. An operator that wants in has two steps: register with AGLC, then sign an agreement with AiGC. For the opening, 22 registered sites were approved.
Registered operators must allow play only by people who are physically in Alberta. That rule covers every registered operator in the market. Readers in Red Deer are inside that boundary for as long as they stay in Alberta. Across the provincial line, a registered site must not allow play.
Checking
Finding a site in the directory
Every registered online site appears in the AiGC directory at abigaming.ca. Approved operators also show the AiGC logo. A site missing from that directory is not regulated in Alberta, whatever it says about itself. PlayAlberta.ca belongs to the province: AGLC operates it, and the Government of Alberta keeps what it earns.
Self-exclusion in Alberta is arranged online only, at selfexclusion.ca. The person chooses the province's casinos and racing entertainment centres, the regulated online sites, or both. The term options are half a year and one, two or three full years. It begins straight away, and there is no early release.
The Ad links and the commission
Red Deer Floor Survey is an independent guide, not a casino, and it takes no bets. Paid links sit on the home page only, each marked Ad. The guide earns a commission from them, and the partner behind them can change.
They lead to a private online casino. It is not PlayAlberta.ca and has no tie to AGLC or AiGC. It has nothing to do with the resort or with the second room in town, ACE Casino Red Deer. The guide does not state that the partner is registered in Alberta; any operator can be looked up in the AiGC directory.
