For play in Alberta, you follow the province’s minimum age requirement of 18+, rather than Ontario’s 19+. Your account access also comes with conditions for casino promotions, withdrawals and inactivity.


Who can open an account in Alberta?

DraftKings accepts account registrations from players in Alberta. Crown DK CAN Ltd. operates DraftKings in the province and holds AGLC registration in the iGaming - Operator class.

If you also play elsewhere in the country, see DraftKings availability in Canada for the regional conditions.


What can you play on DraftKings?

You can use the sportsbook and live casino in Alberta. The sportsbook includes in-play betting, which lets you place bets while an event is underway. Live casino games use a live dealer rather than a solely computer-run game.


What does the casino welcome offer include?

The 1000 flex spins + two-day replay offer is for new casino players in Alberta. Under DraftKings’ terms, the 1000 flex spins + two-day replay offer includes 50 spins for 20 days, with your choice across 100+ slots. The 1000 flex spins + two-day replay offer also includes up to C$1,000 back in credits, so that part of the offer is credit rather than cash.

  • The 1000 flex spins + two-day replay offer requires a minimum of C$5 in wagers and is for players aged 18+; the wagering condition applies alongside the age requirement.
  • You must be physically present in Alberta for the offer, so your location matters when participating.
  • Eligibility restrictions apply; check the offer’s current terms to determine whether you qualify as a new casino player.

How do balances and withdrawals work?

Your Alberta DraftKings balance is held in CAD, and you may request a withdrawal at any time. Withdrawals use your home currency regardless of where you are physically located.

In Alberta, DraftKings states that withdrawals are completed within five (5) business days. A cheque request follows a different route: processing takes ten (10) business days, after which the cheque is sent by mail.

Identity and account validation are required before funds can be released. If DraftKings cannot validate both, it will not release the money, so complete that validation when arranging your withdrawal.


How can you limit or pause your play?

DraftKings provides deposit limits, cool off periods and self-exclusion in Alberta. Deposit limits let you restrict how much you put into an account. A cool off period creates a break from play, while self-exclusion blocks access to gambling for an exclusion period.

Use a deposit limit when you want to control funding, or a pause tool when you want time away from playing.


What happens if you stop using your account?

DraftKings may treat your account as dormant after three (3) years without a login. It will then notify you of the funds remaining in the account.

If you do not respond, DraftKings will close the account, but you retain the right to recover your balance. Respond to the notification if you want to address the remaining funds before closure.
