We are conducting scheduled maintenance on our LMS/training pages. This means these pages will be unavailable on Saturday, December 14 between 9 and 10 p.m. MST. We apologize for any disruptions this may cause.
If you find yourself gambling too much, or if it no longer feels like a game, the Self-Exclusion Program can be an important first step in helping you manage your gambling.
It’s an option worth exploring.
Contact us
The program enables you to exclude yourself from all Alberta casinos and racing entertainment centres and the gambling opportunities these venues present.
Research has shown that when self-exclusion is combined with professional support, it can be one of the most effective ways to stop gambling.
By completing a self-exclusion agreement with AGLC, participants consent to be excluded from all Alberta casinos and racing entertainment centres for a specified time period.
Participants registered in the Self-Exclusion Program will be ineligible from receiving a prize in a gaming facility. (Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation s.34.5)
By signing up for the Self-Exclusion program, you are excluded from Casinos, Racing Entertainment Centers and PlayAlberta.ca
Choose from:
You will be asked to show your government-issued photo identification. This could be a driver's licence, passport or citizenship card.
If you believe your loved one has a gambling problem, it’s understandable that you’d want to help.
However, only the person seeking self-exclusion can sign up for the Self-Exclusion Program. Not even a spouse or family member can do it for them.
For more information call 1-844-468-8034 or email se@aglc.ca
The virtual sign-up process involves using Microsoft Teams. You need access to a computer or device with a camera, as we go over the agreement with you, take your photo and ask to see your ID.
We use DocuSign for you to complete the agreement electronically, which we would do during the Microsoft Teams meeting, that way if you have any issues with the form or program questions, we are still on the call with you.

It is your responsibility to honour the commitment you made to yourself. If you try to enter a casino or racing entertainment centre before your exclusionary period is up, you will be removed from the property.
You may re-enroll in the program after you have completed the exclusion period indicated on your agreement form.

When you complete the self-exclusion agreement, you will have an option to receive follow-up calls by AGLC Self-Exclusion Program staff.
Depending on the length of exclusion, you will receive follow-up calls at the approximate time intervals:
These calls are intended to provide additional resource information, as well as check-in to see how you are doing on the program. Upon completing the program sign-up, you will be provided a package with a copy of your self-exclusion agreement and local community resources.
