Technical compliance: What must the platform meet?

iGaming operators in Alberta must hold a minimum SOC2 Type 1 attestation upon go-live, a requirement drawn directly from the AGLC's Internet Gaming Go-Live Compliance Guide. Alongside this, mandatory geolocation verification technology must be deployed to confine gameplay to Alberta's borders. Both requirements were introduced as part of the market's July 2026 launch and represent new mandatory technical certification standards rather than carryovers from prior regulatory practice. The instrument backing these requirements is a compliance guide rather than primary legislation, making the specific technical thresholds more amenable to administrative revision than the core licensing statute, even though the underlying obligation to certify and geolocate is treated as firmly established for any operator seeking to go live.
