GG Poker's Alberta registration runs to August 2027, the regulator's own register confirms
Re-checked against the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis register on 6 October 2026: GG International Limited, trading as GG Poker, is listed as a registered iGaming Operator in Alberta, with the registration recorded as expiring on 12 August 2027. That is a firmer fact than the entry we published on 3 October, which had the listing but not its class or its expiry.
Alberta opened a regulated iGaming market in 2026, and the register the provincial regulator publishes at aglc.ca is the primary record of who may operate in it. Searching that register for "GG Poker" on 6 October 2026 returns a single entry: GG International Limited, operating as GG Poker, class of registration "iGaming — Operator", expiring on 12 August 2027.
Two things are worth separating here. The first is what the register says, which is simply that this operator is registered in this class until that date. The second is what that means for a player in Alberta, which the register does not address and which we are not going to infer from it. Registration is a regulatory status, not a promise about which products are live, what a sign-up page will accept, or how a particular room treats Canadian accounts.
For poker-in.com the practical point is narrower still. Alberta is a province we do not currently serve with an operator link, and whether that changes is a commercial and compliance decision rather than an editorial one. We have filed it for review with this evidence attached rather than acting on it here.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. If you want to know what you may lawfully play in Alberta, the regulator's own material is the place to start.

Frequently asked questions
Is GG Poker licensed in Alberta?
Alberta's public Gaming Registrants list, read on 3 October 2026, shows GG International Limited trading as GG Poker in the class "iGaming - Operator" with an expiry of 12 August 2027. A registration in that class is what the register records; it is not by itself confirmation that a poker product is live and available to Albertans. This is general information, not legal advice.
What happens on 13 October 2026?
Alberta's regulated online market opened on 13 July 2026 with a transition period that ends on 13 October 2026, after which the province's treatment of unlicensed sites serving Albertans changes. The register is the first place any change in an operator's status would appear.
Are WPT Global or PokerStars in the Alberta register?
No entity recognisable as WPT Global, ClubWPT or PokerStars appeared in the iGaming - Operator class when the list was read on 3 October 2026.
Who else holds an iGaming operator registration in Alberta?
Forty-two entries sat in that class, including the Crown channel Play Alberta, BetMGM Canada, FanDuel Canada, Bally's Canada, Rush Street Interactive Canada, Score Media & Gaming, Stake Canada and Kaizen Gaming Canada, plus the online arms of two Alberta casino groups, Pure Casino Entertainment LP and River Cree iGaming LP.
