theScore Bet Alberta is the sportsbook of Score Media & Gaming Inc., the Toronto-based company behind theScore sports news and scores app, and that media background shapes how the betting app is built. If you already open theScore to follow games, the sportsbook is a separate app that connects to the same scores, stats and news. This review covers its AGLC registration, markets, payments, limit tools and its place beside theScore Casino.
theScore Bet’s AGLC Registration and AiGC Listing
In Alberta, a private sportsbook is regulated when its operator is registered with AGLC and its site appears in the Alberta iGaming Corporation directory. AGLC is the regulator that handles operator background checks and compliance, while AiGC manages operator agreements, anti-money laundering compliance and revenue shares, according to AiGC’s general FAQ. That pairing is what “licensed” means here; the wider rules are in whether sports betting is legal in Alberta.
| Score Media & Gaming product | AGLC registration | AiGC directory | Product type |
|---|---|---|---|
| theScore Bet Sportsbook | iGaming – Operator, valid to July 13, 2027 | Listed | Sportsbook with casino |
| theScore Casino | iGaming – Operator, valid to July 13, 2027 | Listed | Casino only |
| Hollywood Casino | iGaming – Operator, valid to July 13, 2027 | Listed | Casino only |
All three entries name the same legal entity, Score Media & Gaming Inc. The AGLC status comes from our team export of AGLC’s gaming registrants list dated October 28, 2026, and we rechecked the AiGC registered iGaming sites directory on November 5, 2026. What that registration means for a theScore Bet account:
- Access to AGLC’s centralized self-exclusion program.
- A dispute route to AiGC if operator support cannot resolve an issue.
- An age threshold and a location rule on every account.
The age threshold is 18, and you must be physically in Alberta when you log in or place a bet, according to AiGC’s player FAQ. The same FAQ says a dispute can go to AiGC if the operator has not resolved it within 72 hours.
Sports and Bet Types on theScore Bet Alberta
theScore Bet’s App Store and Google Play listings describe pregame and in-play markets on the NHL, NFL, NBA and MLB, and its Alberta launch release names same-game parlays, player props and live in-game betting. The bet types both store listings name:
- Moneylines on which side wins.
- Spreads on the margin of victory.
- Totals on the combined score.
- Parlays, including same-game parlays.
- Props on team or player statistics.
- Teasers that shift spreads or totals.
- Futures on season and playoff outcomes.
Every price carries the operator margin. A hypothetical example with disclosed inputs: an NHL moneyline priced at -110 on both sides (1.91 in decimal) implies 52.38% per side, or 104.76% combined. Stake $100 on each side and the winning bet returns $190.91 from $200 staked, so the $9.09 gap (4.55%) is the margin in that pair of prices. The conversion steps are covered in how betting odds work.
How theScore Bet Connects With theScore App and theScore Casino
Score Media & Gaming Inc. is the App Store seller of four separate apps, and theScore Bet is one of them. The July 13, 2026 Alberta launch release from PENN Entertainment says theScore Bet integrates with theScore, so scores, news, stats and betting sit in one connected setup. The four apps side by side:
| App | What it covers |
|---|---|
| theScore | Live scores, alerts, news and stats, with odds shown in box scores |
| theScore Bet Sportsbook & Casino | Sportsbook and casino area in one app |
| theScore Casino | Dedicated casino app |
| Hollywood Casino | Dedicated casino app |
theScore itself is listed as a sports news and scores app; bets are placed in theScore Bet, a separate download. If you want the sportsbook without casino games, the Disable Casino setting blocks the casino area for a period from one day to permanently while sports betting stays available. The help centre also says limits are shared between theScore Bet and Hollywood Casino.
theScore Bet Payments and Withdrawals in Alberta
theScore Bet’s help centre covers Canadian payments for Ontario and Alberta together. The table summarizes the methods its help pages list, read on November 5, 2026. Methods vary between operators, and the wider comparison sits in casino payment methods in Alberta.
| Method | Deposits | Withdrawals | Published timing after review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interac e-Transfer | $10 to $10,000 | Up to $25,000 | Within an hour with auto-deposit |
| Debit card | Visa or Mastercard debit | Bank-issued Visa Debit only | About an hour |
| Trustly online banking | Accepted | Accepted | May take 3–5 business days to show |
| PayPal | Accepted | Accepted | Limits set by PayPal |
Conditions from the same pages: every withdrawal goes through a 24-hour review, the minimum withdrawal is $10 for all options, and government-issued ID must be uploaded before the first request. Bank account names and addresses must match your theScore Bet account. theScore Bet charges no fee of its own, though your bank may. Without Interac auto-deposit, a payout waits for a security question and expires after seven business days.
Responsible Gambling Tools in theScore Bet’s Alberta App
theScore Bet groups its limits under Responsible Gaming in the account menu, and its help centre lists Alberta among the jurisdictions where limits reset on calendar periods at midnight UTC. Both store listings point Alberta users to 211 Alberta for support, and the province-wide picture is in responsible gambling in Alberta. The tools listed:
- Daily time limit that logs you out until the next reset.
- Deposit limit by day, week or month.
- Spend limit on the total amount wagered.
- Loss limit on net losses over a set period.
- Maximum single wager limit.
- Cool off from one day to three months.
- Reality check-in showing session time and money spent.
Lowering a limit takes effect at once; raising or removing one waits 3 days for a daily limit, 7 days for weekly and 31 days for monthly. theScore Bet also has its own self-exclusion, though two help articles give different lengths. Alberta’s free centralized self-exclusion, joined through an AGLC portal, covers all regulated Alberta iGaming sites and land-based casinos, according to the AiGC player FAQ.
Opening and Verifying a theScore Bet Account in Alberta
Account opening follows the order below, based on theScore Bet’s help pages and AiGC’s player rules:
- Install theScore Bet from the App Store or Google Play, or use the web version.
- Register with your legal name and home address as they appear at your bank.
- Stay physically in Alberta, because regulated sites accept log-ins and bets only there.
- Set deposit, loss and time limits under Responsible Gaming before any deposit.
- Note that an Interac e-Transfer deposit starts at $10 and needs the code provided.
- Upload government-issued ID before you request a withdrawal.
theScore Bet App Access and Customer Support
theScore Bet Sportsbook & Casino runs on iOS, Android and the web in Alberta, according to its launch release, and both store listings mark the Alberta version 18+. Support is reached by phone at 1 (855) 550-1238, by email or through in-app chat, and the help pages we read do not list support hours. How the app compares with other betting apps in Alberta is covered separately.
What This theScore Bet Review Does Not Cover
We do not publish or assess operator promotions, so none appear in this review. Any promotion terms for theScore Bet in Alberta are set and shown by the operator on its own site.
Who theScore Bet Suits in Alberta, and Who It Does Not
Based on the published terms above, theScore Bet fits:
- Fans who follow games in theScore and want betting connected to it.
- Bettors who want Interac e-Transfer payouts with a published timeframe.
- Users who want detailed limits, including a single-wager cap.
- Bettors who want a sportsbook with the casino area switched off.
It is a weaker fit for:
- Anyone who needs every help page written for Alberta alone.
- Anyone withdrawing to a card other than Visa Debit.
- Anyone who has decided not to bet, which is always a valid choice.
Where theScore Bet Leaves Alberta Bettors
In short, this theScore Bet Alberta review finds a sportsbook registered with AGLC through Score Media & Gaming Inc. and listed in the AiGC directory on November 5, 2026. Its link to theScore app is the main design difference, its Interac payout process is clearly documented, and its limit menu is broad. Before opening an account, check the AiGC directory yourself and set your limits first.
