Pure Casino Alberta Bonuses

The AGLC rules regarding bonus advertising means that we cannot go into details regarding Pure Casino no deposit offers or other promotions. It's possible that a welcome bonus or Pure Casino free spins may be available but players must check the specifics on the official casino website themselves.

Wagering Requirements and Casino Terms

While there's no standard bonus terms that we could see at the time of writing, current promotions indicate wagering requirements of 10x, which is competitively low.

Account holders may also have a week to complete free spins, which is plenty of time.

Note that promotional terms can vary from one bonus to another and the small print should always be checked before deciding whether to opt in or not.

Games & Software

Pure Casino has just shy of 20 software studios at the time of writing, although it was strange to see Playtech and Play'n Go listed but with seemingly no games currently available. These are probably in the process of being added and we'd expect to see some of the most popular online slots for Alberta players from both of these providers.

The total number of games is just over 1,000, which is definitely on the small side compared to other Alberta online casinos.

Slots & Table Games

There is a general Slots category with around a thousand entries, but more specific types can be found in the Jackpots, Dops & Wins, Megaways, and Steppers categories.

It's also possible to search for games directly, or have them filtered by software studio or the tags Asian, Mystic, Irish, or Exclusive, the last of which has 11 entries.

Table games can be easily found via the Table Games category button at the top. Inside there are 48 options, mostly regular but a few live editions seem to have slipped in. Roulette, blackjack, baccarat, deuces wild, craps, poker, sic bo, and a few other games are available.

Live Casino Games

Live casino games are provided courtesy of specialist developer Evolution. Albertans can find eight live lobbies covering blackjack, baccarat, roulette, poker, and game shows. The total number of games and the game titles are only available when you are logged into your casino account.

Sports Betting Options at Pure Casino Alberta

Pure Alberta is also one of the latest sports betting sites for Alberta. The top of the sportsbook features major league categories, while the top left has Live and Starting Soon sections. Beneath this is a short list of Popular sports, then a full list, with numbers indicating betting market activity.

Odds are displayed in American format by default, and although there's a settings area this doesn't seem to allow for changing to decimal or fraction styles which is a disappointing omission.

Beyond the standard major leagues and international soccer competitions, there's a TV & Novelty market featuring various awards, but politics appears to be absent. eSports, rugby, Formula 1, tennis, golf, and other worldwide sports are available.

Editor Opinion

The range of software developers is good in terms of both number and quality, but the overall number of games is on the modest side. Just over a thousand is far below the 2,700+ of DraftKings, and the 3,100+ of Betty Alberta.

How to Sign Up for a Pure Online Casino Alberta Account

Here are the steps necessary to sign up for an account with Pure Casino in Alberta:

1. Click the Join button in the top right corner.
2. Enter your e-mail, password, and telephone number.
3. Enter further details as necessary, such as birth date and so on, and confirm verification of the e-mail address.
4. Note that identity verification may be required at any time by the casino including account creation. This requires the uploading of documents: photo ID and proof of current address, such as passport and a utility bill.

Mobile App and Experience

Apps for iOS and Android can be found in the casino and downloaded via QR code. The App Store link was a dead end when tested at the time of review.

Games and banking, plus bonuses, are accessible via the app, and if games fail to load then either reinstalling or closing background apps may be necessary.

Editor Opinion

It's surprising the casino app can't be readily found either in the App Store or the Google Play store but this may be a temporary absence. Otherwise, gaming on the go is convenient for many Canadians, and the app works not only on smartphones but tablets too which is handy for those who prefer a slightly bigger screen.

Deposits & Withdrawals at Pure Online Casino for Alberta Players

The minimum deposit is listed at $10 for all the payment methods supported.

Every banking method has a differing speed to complete withdrawals, and the figures below exclude the casino's own pending period.

Pure Casino Withdrawal Times & KYC Verification Process

While pending periods are commonplace, Pure Casino's processing period for withdrawal requests is up to 7 business days, very much on the slower end of the scale.

Withdrawal requests may also be subject to KYC verification, with documents uploaded via Upload A Document in the Information & Security menu. This process will slow down withdrawals and may lead to account suspension or closure if not followed promptly.

Editor Opinion

There could be a broader range of banking methods, but the major drawback is the hefty pending period. Many casinos take 2 to 3 days or less and up to 7 days is a lengthy delay. PointsBet Casino has a pending period of a day or less.

Customer Support Options

Pure Casino has a pretty extensive help centre which covers a variety of topics for Alberta players including Responsible Gambling, Deposit, Withdrawal, My Account, Technical Support, Geolocation, Bonus & Promotion, and Service & Complaints.

Help can also be sought from live chat, although a quick test found this requested both a name and e-mail address, which is not usual in our experience. Human agents also offer help via live chat.

Customer support can be reached by submitting a ticket or via e-mail, both of which have an average response time of four hours, but help via telephone is absent.

Security Protocols & Alberta Licensing

Pure Casino is operated by Pure Casino Entertainment Limited Partnership, which is registered with the AGLC. It's also confirmed legitimate by its appearance on the AiGC's list of registered igaming sites.

The casino uses various methods to keep its own and account holders' data safe, among which are encryption, secure storage systems, restricting access to personal information, and appropriate staff training.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Pure has various responsible gambling tools, including general advice to play sensibly.

Limits can be set on spending, depositing, single wagers, and time, to ensure neither money nor time is spent to excess. Albertans can take a cooling off period or self-exclude for a longer time period of up to 5 years.

There are links to third parties, such as the Responsible Gambling Council and Gamblers Anonymous.

How Pure Casino Compares to Other Alberta Casinos

Pure Casino is not the only online betting site in Alberta, and here's how it bears comparison with some rival casinos:

Pure Casino Availability in Ontario and Canada

At the time of writing Pure Casino is only accessible in Alberta and has neither an Ontario-specific site nor a general casino for Canada.

FAQs About Pure Casino Alberta

• Is Pure Casino legal in Alberta?

  Yes, it is licensed and regulated by the AGLC and AiGC.

• Is there a Pure Casino app for iOS and Android?

  Yes, downloadable mobile apps are available for both iOS and Android users.

• Does Pure Alberta offer fast withdrawals?

  No, the pending period is up to 7 days which is considered quite slow in comparison to other casino sites.

Pure Casino Alberta Final Opinion

Pure Casino Alberta has a broad set of software studios but its overall gaming library and banking methods are relatively few. This may well be due to the fact that it is a new Alberta licensed casino at the time of our review and the game library will probably be expanded over time.

The long pending period is less than ideal, but Interac and PayPal are supported. PayPal offers instant withdrawals after approval. As a new casino and sportsbook for Alberta, we didn't come across any major issues.
