PokerStars plans to return to Alberta through FanDuel following the closure of its international poker service in the province on October 13, 2026. The operator informed players on October 23 that its desktop client and mobile apps would be available soon, although a launch date remains unconfirmed.
Existing PokerStars accounts will not transfer to the new platform. Players must create FanDuel accounts to access PokerStars on FanDuel in Alberta. Details of the upcoming tournament schedule and cash-game offerings have not yet been announced.
The return follows the end of Alberta's three-month transition period for its regulated online gambling market on October 13, 2026.
888poker Already Operating in Alberta
888poker became Alberta's first regulated online poker operator on October 13. Its platform currently serves players through a pool restricted to the province.
PokerStars on FanDuel is also expected to launch with a separate Alberta player pool unless shared-liquidity arrangements change. Alberta's iGaming Corporation is examining the possibility of sharing poker liquidity within Canada.
PokerStars has confirmed its planned return, but players are still waiting for an official launch date and further details about the service.
