Deposit stolen

Money that I deposited got denied, but it still came out of my bank account. Play Alberta saying that it was the bank that didn't authorize. Not the case. Never playing on this site again. UPDATE:
Play alberta reached out and admitted to a technical glitch. Money refunded. Thank you.

Wowzers

Wow, Just bad. They ask for way too much just to sign up. Try out some demo plays and holy they are terrible. You literally cant win anything. Why would I deposit and play with my own money when the demo play is such a good advertisement to not play your games. I’ve tried out lots of online slots and this is by far the worst. RTP must be 1%.

I deposited $500 by e-transfer and it was deposited to their account immediately however showed as declined on my play Alberta account and never received the funds. Play Alberta has very nicely just stated we will get to it when we get to it. If I could give a minus score I would. They are under staffed and take extreme times for support and payouts as well. Shame on Alberta government and AGLC.

I deposited $400 via e-transfer

I deposited $400 via e-transfer, and it was deposited into their bank instantly, then on my account it showed as 'declined' so I have $0 balance. Customer support provides 0 information on why, or how long it would take to resolve it. Asks for bank statement which you have to wait until the end of the month before they become available, and then I can upload. No timeline estimate, no guarantee you'll get your money back. Imagine some guy on the street took $400 from you and then says oops you get no service, won't tell you why or any information, and asks you to run around doing a bunch of work for a CHANCE to get your money back with no guarantees or timelines. You'd call the cops on that guy! Absolutely stay as FAR AWAY as possible from this site, complete garbage!!

Terrible policies and customer service

Terrible policies and customer service. I somehow entered a wrong email and it changed to that. I contacted them and they said I had to send in 5 documents , drivers licence, passport , bank statement etc. I blacked out information related to transactions and balance. 6 wks later I call to follow up. Nothing had been done and was told they would escalated the matter. One month later I follow up again and was told they do not accept blacked out documents which is b.s. I have now sent them a statement that has zero balance and another utility statement. Once this is corrected and I can withdraw my funds that I won I will be closing the account and filing a complaint with consumer affairs and the better business bureau. Stay away from Play Alberta is my recommendation.

This place is a joke

This place is a joke! Do not even bother with them. I deposited $17 …. Just $17 the deposit said failed and never went into my play Alberta account but it left my bank. I have uploaded a verified letter from the bank, an email from Interac with the reference number , my bank statement and a screen shot and they keep telling my uploads were rejected and you can’t speak to the accounting people. They don’t give free spins or any decent promotions and they treat you like sh** additionally they don’t even bother to contact you ever you have to keep calling and they keep telling you to call back in 2 days and never actually email or give one word of when your money will be returned. I’d rather deposit into an unverified unregulated non licensed casino from a country I don’t know how to pronounce. DONT PLAY HERE you only donate.

I just wanted to buy Lotto max tickets…

I just wanted to buy Lotto max tickets online for a office pool, spent hours picking numbers to find out It takes more time to verify me (2 days) and the draw for the lotto was in one day. They should let you know these things instead of wasting your time. I deleted my account and will never play there.

Advertise 300 plus live tables but…

Advertise 300 plus live tables but ,international tables are always blocked due to geo location not allowed. This is a Alberta site why include international tables if no one in Alberta can access to play them. Fake misleading Advertising and information. Told support about problem said clear cache, that does not work . Don't false advertise or put games on your site that no one in Alberta can access.

They lied on their resume cuz this isn't fairplay

Reading the comments and Wow! Echoing my thoughts as well. Especially that they advertise Gov Regulated and still seem a little shady. Must be regulated by Federal Liberals...The Bonus Games are ridiculous.You would think that earning the Bonus Game entitled you to a nice win . with regularity Bonus rounds often payout less than x10 of wager. What bothers me most is BigWin fanfare. Ill be the judge of that...Don't need the Casino singing and dancing over A $12 Big Win on a $2 bet..The Disingenuous reference to "You Win" when the payout is less than the original wager. The regularity that $1.00 bets get paid 20 or 40 cents. The single pays on games that have win clusters removed and new tiles added. seldom do you get more than 2 wins.. Maddening.. cheap poor payouts. No streaks.. if a spin gets you a 20:1 payout you are guaranteed to lose the next 19 spins. Increasing your bet midway thru a game is a guarantee for losing. It stops wins. Decrease your bet might improve your winning percent slightly but difficult to generate a nest.it is hardly a level playing field. Blatant. Violate fair play agreements when assessing wins that use more than 1 wild tile.( 3 plus 2 wilds should pay out 1x3 2x4 1x5. . They pay 1x5) ..when it first begin it was alright and seemed legit.. not so much. It's a chickenlittle casino afraid to pay

Terrible Site

Terrible site. They accept promo codes when you make a deposit, don't pay out the promo bonus and then claim you're not entitled to it. If a promo code is accepted, it should be paid out. People are making deposits on the understanding they will get the promo bonus. They also have cash bonuses and free bets that are supposed to be paid for live blackjack and sports betting. I have been having constant issues with them not paying out these bonuses to me and will only do it after I call customer service every week (maybe). I think they do this deliberately hoping you won't fight them over it. They have screwed me out of bonuses many times and they do it on probably most of the promos. The customer service is mostly useless. You would hope a government run site would be better than this. I would stay away from this site. It is the worst experience of any gaming/gambling site I've ever had.

Incompetent Chat, Agents, reps.

They kept declining deposits that were Verified by my bank. Bank approved every single deposit but PA said it was declined and in the end, call your bank was their response. I told them what was said all 3 times I contacted a human with a voice. PA didn’t offer that respect. Beyond frustrated! Had to give them 1 star as it wouldn’t let me give them none.

Wow worst customer service ever

Wow worst customer service ever. The lady on phone sounded like she needed suicide intervention. Wth.. the site is a bate and switch.. give you a lil jackpot then at over 200 spins at a good amount like $12 a spin and just dry and nothing. Now how do you spin 200 times an win not a thing. This sight also keeps your own algorithms as no one else can play a machine like in a real casino. I spent over $100000 here thinking I was gonna win that fast jackpot of $6000 like I did in the first 3 days of play..nope they scammers

A game froze on me and I couldn’t play…

A game froze on me and I couldn’t play anymore. I tried playing on other devices but it told me I had to play on the original device. The game wouldn’t play on that device, it would just crash. I spent so much time emailing Play Alberta and was constantly told they were working on fixing the problem. That was a lie. It’s been 3 years and they did absolutely nothing to get me my money. The last email they didn’t even bother to fill in the form email: Dear Player,
Thank you for contacting us via email. My name is Agent First Name, and I would be happy to assist you!

I took a 15 spin bonus for a deposit

I took a 15 spin bonus for a deposit. I made one a total of $15 on it, then. I went and played another game for a long time. I ended up winning $272 on that game. Then when I went to withdraw it, they would not let me do it because I had the bonus game and I had to spin like I don't know a million more times to receive the money. So then I canceled the bonus off my debt and it took off all my $272 and brought my balance to 0, so I'm warning.People don't take no bonuses or free spends from them.Or you'll be spinning till you die.Thank you

Scam site

They display RTP % but it is a lie. I have these slots a chance and even when you hit bonus rounds it doesn’t pay all that great, and that is a big IF. The last slot I counted how many times I almost hit it. 14 times and bonus never hit. You would think government regulated website would be legit. NOPE. Thieves. Might as well burn your money than play here.
