The announcement
Stake announced on 6 October 2026 that Stake Canada Ltd. had secured a licence from the AGLC and will launch a casino and sportsbook for players in Alberta.
Stake's main international site is licensed in Curaçao. The Alberta operation is a separate, locally licensed business.
Before you rely on this
This report is based on the company's announcement. IRLG will add the Alberta record once it appears on the AGLC's own list of registered operators.
Update, 9 October
Trade press reports that the AGLC register now lists Stake Canada Ltd. as an iGaming operator, with a registration expiring on 24 September 2027. It still needs an operating agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation before it can take bets; it is aiming for 12 October, one day before Alberta's 13 October deadline for previously unregulated operators to leave or register. IRLG will add the record once it confirms the entry on the AGLC register itself.
