Licensing & Compliance

bikematch.network is an independent media and information site, not a gambling operator. We hold no gambling licence, take no deposits, and run no games — nothing here should be read as an offer to gamble, and nothing here is issued or endorsed by any regulator or operator we write about.

Alberta’s own regulated online gambling platform is Play Alberta, launched July 2026 under the authority of the AGLC (Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis) — the second provincially regulated online market in Canada after Ontario’s iGaming Ontario/AGCO framework. Operators referenced elsewhere on this site that serve Canadian players from outside a provincial platform typically hold licences from bodies such as the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), or the Government of Curaçao — each with its own standards for fairness testing, player-fund protection, and dispute handling. Where we name an operator’s licence, it’s stated as a fact to check against that regulator’s own public register, not a recommendation that the licence makes the operator suitable for every reader.

Game-level RTP figures are set by the software studio that builds the game and independently tested by labs such as eCOGRA or GLI before a licensed platform can offer it — the studio, not the casino brand hosting it, is the actual source of that number. See How We Check the Numbers for how we source and verify these figures.

Regulatory frameworks differ by province and by country, and what’s legally available in Alberta is not automatically available or legal where a given reader lives. Readers are responsible for confirming that online gambling is legal in their own jurisdiction, and for confirming an operator’s current licensing status directly with the relevant regulator before depositing money anywhere — licence status can change, and we cannot guarantee our information is current at the moment a reader reads it.

Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or clinical advice. If a licensing detail here looks outdated or wrong, we want to know — corrections are handled the way they’re described on the How We Check the Numbers page, and reports are welcome at [email protected].
