Zero transparency

Zero transparency. Accidently used their website again. It makes me feel gambling is brutal addiction. It's designed to profit of desperation..this game design is designed to make someone extremely rich for me it's 99% losses or tiny little gains, really wish I never touched this site. I am sure the 1% that win like it.
And it is overly complicated to withdraw money. I swear last time I ever use it. Sure, the game graphics are outstanding and there's some psychological manipulation involved. Rakin bacon was extremely addictive. I'm sure there could be a legal course of action here, these games are designed to suck you dry it's visual manipulation, who ever is profiting makes it so nothing will change. The odds are pointless..it's 100%going to be a loss always..one person might beat the astronomical.Odds that they don't even reveal..I'm a MORON for using this site.. 50 cents after they take 30.00 today.. didn't even get the bonus either!!!! It's just gross..gambling is gross , this should be illegal, these kinds of operations..

They lost their minds. Boycott.

They lost their minds. Playalberta expects us to deposit and never hit anything. Winning is one thing, but their idea that nobody should get any hits is insane. I went through thousands of dollars and could not get one hit higher than my bet. Just complete insanity. We need to boycott this site. I deleted my account. I am done with it and not coming back to it. It is just stupidly that they want us to only make deposits and they dont want anyone to get any hits or wins. Their site has changed so much from previous years. It used to be you win and lose. Now you only lose, end of statement. That is their new policy. All deposits must equal losses. Boycott playAlberta and wait for the new players to come to town. Its only a couple months away. Can't wait for it. Hope this corrupt site falters and goes out of business. They deserve it. Watch out for your deposits as well. Had 4 deposits vanish over the last year and a half. Have not been able to get them back. Insane that this site belongs to the Province of Alberta. It really is insane. Boycott.

Play alberta needs to fix the issues…

Play alberta needs to fix the issues with their machines. I find as soon as the game starts paying well your kicked out due to error or lost server and a lot of the time when you get back in the machine is no longer paying as well. Also I am playing spirit of Mustang west express and the hold and spin bonus just quit working. I got to where a couple more spins would have given me the bonus and then it just stopped working. Been playing a lot and not getting the bar to move at all although the rules say get bonus pics in rows 2 and 3 moves it and I have hit that close to a hundred or more times and hasn't moved it also it's more than just the 1 day and I have reported that one and more. Reel kings mega ways was the game I always played and because I could win they blocked me from playing it. Saying I was disconnected while playing and I needed to log back in on the mobile I was playing on to play. I was playing on the phone I am still playing on. The only good thing about them lately is you get your cash out within an hour

Stop giving the government free money

4 different times I've logged into my play alberta account and somehow someone else's account showed up. A different name and a different balance that wasn't mine but my login credentials. I spun that persons account balance so fast before it logged me out.

Record your game play, and match it with your game play history. You won't be surprised to see that it's all rigged.

They are by far the worst company…

They are by far the worst company imaginable, their customer service is atrocious. They don't resolve issues, and when you ask for clarification they simply state "I have give all the information I have on this" and then state "since there is nothing else I'm going to end the chat" ending the
chat immediately and there is no way to have a chat log. They are crooks hire horrible people for customer service. Go to PlayOjo, or Bodogs. PlayAlberta is horrible!!

Absolutely the worst on line gaming…

Absolutely the worst on line gaming site period!!! No return to player winnings. I have been playing this site for two years and have very minimal wins, if any at all. My experiment is over. 24 months of losses. Never again play alberta!! This site is nothing more than a scam!!!!!! Save your money guys and gals. Don't give these thieves a dime. They will gladly eat up all your money and give SFA!!!

Review for Play Alberta

Review for Play Alberta

Play Alberta is legit and regulated, so payouts do work if you ever get the chance to withdraw. However, in my experience, winning is extremely rare. It feels like 1 small win for every 10 losses, and most of the time any winnings are immediately taken back.

Bonuses look exciting, but they don’t really increase what you actually get. Once wagering is done, there’s usually little to nothing left. It often feels like the house always wins, especially for regular players.

Some games also freeze or stop during bonus rounds, which makes the experience even more frustrating.

Overall: legit platform, but don’t expect consistent wins or real profit. Play only what you’re prepared to lose.

Down 720k out of 768k

Down 720k. Total deposits 768k withdrawal 48k total loss 720k. Deposit if you want to lose. That will be the only outcome. Unless you are in a Hamlet with a population of 20 people, they seem to be the only ones that win. Edmonton and Calgary residents have the lowest odds of winning at nearly zero. The small Hamlets get the biggest odds and are given the most wins, even though they have the lowest population.I have used it for 3 years. I lost 14000 dollars in the last 9 days and finally quit the site. In all those deposits I never had one opportunity to make a withdrawal. Not once did i go up it was all deposit and downhill loss. The time and day you use the site matter the most. But it’s really difficult to find that exact moment you can win something. It can take weeks or months. Some accounts might only be set to always lose. It’s really up to Playalberta who they want to win and lose. They can turn your account on at anytime for winning or losing. It’s not Random at all in the sense of winning. It’s random for the outcome of the spins, but who wins and when is programmed and decided. Playalberta gives the majority to little Hamets and towns. The RTPs are not achievable and are impossible. You can’t get a 92 percent return if you can never hit anything. At the very least we need an investigation, how much money has went in how much went out and how much is supposed to go out. Playalberta operator I believe has taken much much more than their allotment.

Has to be rigged …

This site used to be fun where you actually used to win. Now you are constantly losing, Not able to load certain games even when mentioning it to the people of play alberta and they still don't fix the issues. You're safer getting a drug addict to invest in your money then to expect any winnings from play alberta!

Negative stars of possible

Negative stars of possible. This website and it's platform is nothing but garbage. Considering it's the only regulated site in Alberta you'd think they'd have some pride in their services. But no. The site purposely takes forever to accept bets, rejects a bet, and then subsequently lowers the odds. It's garbage. They know they're going to get rocked by the big players comong in 2026, so they're doing everything possible to drive up profits. shady shady work PA

Fraudulent.

They cheat, and should be sued out of existence. If you play for more than an hour, they feel that it is their right to reduce your odds to near zero, thus dropping your balance to zero very quickly. I just saw my money disappear in a very short time, watching my balance drop every spin, win or not. That is normally referred to as fraud and theft.

There's no website worse than this

Since I registered my account in 2020, they have never paid out any of my winnings, which have accumulated to several hundred Canadian dollars. I've called customer service countless times; the service is atrocious. Every time, they give me various excuses or tell me that a manager will call me, but I've never received a call from them. There's no website worse than this; I even suspect it's a scam. I strongly advise against playing games or buying any lottery tickets on this website.

Do Not waste your time or money on this site!!!

So I tried this casino when I was visiting Alberta at the beginning of November and won $500. I go to withdrawal my money, and It won't let me. I need verification documents, they give me a list of documents they accept. I submit the documents, then go to withdrawal again, then get an error message stating I have to contact support. So I contact support, who say oh one of the documents you submitted was not valid. So we go back and forth about what documents they accept. So I re submit new documents, and nope they say because the document is more than 6 months old, they can't accept it. So I submit more documents. This is just to prove my name and address. Which all the documents had the same name and address. Fast forward to today. December 27, 2025. Still have not been able to withdrawal my funds because the new documents I have submitted are under review. DO NOT WASTE MONEY on this site.

If you want to lose money play here…

If you want to lose money play here, they'll take, take, take and if you win, you never get to claim it! Ever person here who wrote a negative review are true! Customer service is AI, you never get to speak to a real person, if you do? Is that a real person? WOW! I have never seen such a...you can't even describe how bad it is at this site, it's that bad. If you really want to lose your good money that bad, go lose it in person at a real liver casino. River Cree, The Yellowhead are good place's to start. This is a terrible place to play slot, or anything for that matter. More yet, when you try to send documents, they...never mind! It's all around bad...they should be investigated and or reported. I think I'll do that so they don't rip off anymore good folks.

It’s been 4 different days I’ve played…

It’s been 4 different days I’ve played for approx 10 mins. and a message pops up saying I have reached my daily limit, etc. I went online to sort it out and you get a generic message and none of it is going to fix the issue. I wait for an agent, greets me, so I explain it and they can’t do a thing for you. Bimbo me…I did that 4 times! 😡🥵🥵🫣 Now I see I can actually call someone to fix the issue 😆🙄 Why can’t these robots and agents just give you their phone # 🙇🏼‍♀️🙄🙄

Thx for sharing…Merry Christmas and May Our Lord Bless You In Everyway That You Deserve 🙏🏼

Painfully poor customer service

Painfully poor customer service. First you have to get past the artificial ai responses that don’t acknowledge there is any problem but offer some COURTESY games for your inconvenience. The initial way they got me in was to offer ten plays of Loaded 7s which failed to work. The wager per play was showing as 6 cents and it kept saying try later. Six hours later got through to a supposed live person who credited my account with the value: sixty cents!!!! What a ripoff!!!

I tried to purchase 30$ lotto max

I tried to purchase 30$ lotto max. Transaction did not go through but got a email saying they charge my credit card 30$ and its going into my play alberta account. I tried buying ticket again and it said it didn’t go through so i tried again and it went through. I check my credit card and it charged me twice even though it said transaction did not work. I complained and its been 4 days with no reply. I will never use this site again. I wouldn’t doubt they will take my money if i won something big. Don't use this site. Zero customer service.
