Our Casino Review Process

We Canucks are no strangers to snow, and we know that no two snowflakes are the same. Online casinos are no different – though they are the same in principle, no two are exactly alike. Some offer a larger selection of slots, while others may provide a stronger live casino platform. 

That’s not to say there aren’t certain criteria that should apply to each site. In fact, our expert reviewers have a set list of criteria that we use to successfully compare casinos that, from first impressions, couldn’t be more different. A formula that has been tried and tested on hundreds of different casinos, this criteria helps us rank the top Canadian online casinos and provide a list of sites that will cater to all tastes. 

The table below gives insight into the criteria our experts check in the online casino review process:

Check	Criteria	Explained
	Dependability	Reliable, reputable software, including the use of Random Number Generators (RNG)
	Gaming selection	Must carry a variety of each type of casino game, with high quality graphics and smooth, fast gameplay
	Solid banking platform	Includes CA$ currency and offers a variety of deposit and withdrawal methods. Good turnaround times are also important.
	Canadian-friendly bonus offers	Offer bonuses clearly designed for the needs of Canadian players. Bonus offers should also be of good value.
	Excellent customer care	Provide excellent customer care with instant chat, email, and 24-hour service options (where possible) in English and French to be inclusive of Canadian players.
	Licenced through reputable authorities	Must have licenses and regulations through reputable authorities recognized industry-wide.

Games & Software

The best online casinos will have an excellent range of games from the industry’s leading software developers. Our experts want to see numerous variants of slots, jackpots, blackjack, poker, roulette, baccarat, video poker, and live casino games. Online casinos that partner with big-name brands like Games Global, Evolution and NetEnt rank highest on our radar.

Casino Bonuses

Online casinos are great at reeling in players with a generous welcome bonus, but all too often, the generosity ends there. We want to see a great range of reload bonuses for returning players, whether that’s a weekly Friday deposit match or a daily rewards wheel. From free spins to cashback and everything in between, Canada’s top online casinos will give you plenty of opportunities to boost your bankroll. The best of the best also feature fair and accessible bonus terms and conditions. 

Mobile Capabilities

Mobile casinos is the nation’s favourite way to play, so a casino must have good mobile capabilities to get the green light from us. The best Canadian casinos will have a compatible mobile app available for download on both the App Store and Google Play Store. They’ll score even higher if the app includes mobile-exclusive bonuses. At a minimum, any online casino should be optimized with HTML5 technology to ensure a seamless transition from desktop to mobile. 

Overall Security

Your safety is our top priority, which is why we only ever recommend casinos that implement the highest security standards possible. This includes having a licence from a reputable authority, using the latest SSL encryption technology to protect player payments, implementing thorough KYC checks to prevent money laundering, and partnering with only the most popular and trustworthy payment providers. Anything less than this, and the casino won’t make it into our rankings.  

Payment Methods

The top Canadian casinos will have a wide variety of deposit and withdrawal methods. This includes traditional options like credit/debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets and eChecks, alongside various cryptos and mobile-exclusive options like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Internationally-regulated casinos are typically headquartered in Europe, so euros are the standard currency. The best casinos look out for their North Atlantic neighbours and also allow CAD deposits, saving us Canucks from paying pesky conversion rates. 

Customer Care

Having top-notch customer support is what separates a top casino from the average Joe. We expect every casino to offer at least a jam-packed FAQ page and email support. The more customer-focused casinos will also offer live chat (preferably available round-the-clock) and the option to contact them via social media. Telephone support is rare, so casinos that do have a dedicated phone line get two big thumbs up from us.

Our Online Casino Guide

With so many sites vying for your attention, it can be tricky to know where to start. But fear not, for that’s where we come in! Our trusty team of casino experts is here to guide you through the uncertainty and answer all your important questions so you can find the perfect online casino. 

Just as we have a set of criteria for reviewing the best online casinos Canada has to offer, we also have a handy checklist that you can use to weigh up whether or not a casino is right for you. Some sites may entice you with generous bonuses and a flashy user interface, but there’s more to a good casino than meets the eye. Make sure to refer to the checklist below before signing up for an online casino, as it can help sift the good from the bad (and the ugly).

• Is the online casino available in Canada? 

Check the terms and conditions to ensure Canada isn’t on the list of excluded jurisdictions. This also applies to casinos with an Ontario iGaming licence. Unless the casino has a separate URL that’s licensed by an international authority, it won’t be available in any province except Ontario.

• Are Canadian dollars accepted?

You can still make deposits to a casino where CAD is not accepted. However, it means you may end up paying unnecessary conversion fees. Instead, it’s worth looking elsewhere for a casino that lets you deposit directly with Canadian dollars. 

• Does the casino take the deposit method you have? 

You don’t want to go through the process of registering and verifying a casino account just to find it doesn’t accept your preferred deposit method. To save yourself a wasted effort, check the casino’s deposit options before signing up. On the other hand, a casino may offer your desired deposit method but charge a fee for using it, in which case it may be worth choosing a different operator. 

• Is the casino licensed through a trusted jurisdiction? 

If you’re located within Ontario, make sure the casino has a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). If you’re playing from any other province, ensure the casino holds a valid licence from a trusted regulatory body like the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission (KGC).

• Does the casino have games from top software providers or ones you want to play?

A casino that offers games from big-name brands is usually a casino you can trust. The best online casinos will partner with leading software developers like Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Games Global (Microgaming), NetEnt, Play’n GO, Red Tiger, IGT and so on. However, it’s not just providers to look out for. Make sure the casino offers multiple variants of the games you like to play, whether that’s Megaways slots and progressive jackpots or table games like 3-card poker and multi-wheel roulette.

• Are the terms and conditions fair?

A bonus is only ever as generous as its terms and conditions. Consider the wagering requirements, expiration date, eligible games, and maximum win cap when deciding whether or not a bonus is worth your time. If a casino offers a C$500 bonus with 50x wagering requirements and you deposit the full amount, you’d need to wager C$25,000 before you can actually cash out your winnings. It’s better to opt for a low-value bonus with fair terms than a massive bonus with unachievable conditions. 

Signing Up to an Online Casino

Signing up for a new online casino is a simple and straightforward process that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Most sites don’t require you to verify your account until you are ready to withdraw, meaning you can register, make a deposit and start playing your favourite casino games within a few clicks. 

Though the exact steps may differ between operators, our experts have put together a step-by-step example of the casino registration process below to help get you started.

1. Select a casino from our recommended list and follow the link to the homepage. 
2. Hit the “Join Now” or “Register” button.
3. Enter your email address and create a memorable password.
4. Select CAD as your preferred currency.
5. Input your personal details, including name, date of birth, mobile number, and street address.
6. Before proceeding, opt-in to the welcome bonus or enter any necessary promo codes. 
7. Click “Confirm” to finish the registration process. You’re now ready to make a deposit!

Depositing at Real Money Casinos

Once your account is up and running, you can top it up with a real money deposit and claim an awesome bonus at the same time. What’s not to love? Making a casino deposit is just as easy as creating your account, but we’ve compiled another how-to guide to help you on your way. 

1. Head to the Cashier section of your account. 
2. Hit “Deposit”.
3. Select your preferred deposit method and your desired deposit amount.
4. Most bonuses have a minimum deposit amount. Ensure you are depositing the minimum amount or more – otherwise, you won’t be eligible for the welcome bonus.
5. Enter your payment details and finalize the transaction.
6. Most payment methods are processed instantly by the casino. 
7. As soon as the money lands in your account, you’re free to start wagering on your favourite slots and table games!

Real Money Casino Withdrawals

If you’re lucky enough to score some big wins and have completed the wagering requirements on your bonus, it’s time to cash out your winnings. Unlike the short and instant deposit process, there are a few additional steps you’ll need to take before getting your hands on your hard-earned funds. Once again, our experts have put together a handy step-by-step guide to give you an idea of how casino withdrawals work.

1. Ensure you have completed the wagering requirements for your bonus. If not, the bonus and any winnings may be voided when you try to cash them out. 
2. Every player must submit proof of ID (e.g. passport, driver’s licence) and address (e.g. utility bill, bank statement) as part of KYC verification checks. Speed the process up as much as possible by verifying your account ahead of time. 
3. Once your account has been verified, you can request a withdrawal in the Cashier section of your account. 
4. The casino will send your withdrawal via the method you deposited with. If this is not available, you’ll be prompted to choose an alternative. 
5. Select your desired withdrawal amount, ensuring it meets the casino’s minimum amount. 
6. Finalize the transaction. The casino will process your withdrawal request internally before paying out. You will receive your real money withdrawal within a few days, though the exact time will depend on your chosen payment method.

Find the Best Online Casino Games

Now is a great time to be a casino player in Canada. Software developers are constantly releasing new and exclusive games, many of which utilize innovative technologies or introduce new mechanics. From 100,000+ paylines to C$100,000+ payouts, online casino games have never been so immersive. 

Many of our recommended online casinos boast extensive game libraries, the virtual shelves of which are stacked with hundreds (if not thousands) of exciting games. However, these huge collections all fit into a handful of game categories. Slots, jackpots, table games (like blackjack, roulette, poker and baccarat), and live casino games feature at almost every online casino in Canada.

The Expert Tip

"Online casino games have a Random Number Generator (RNG). It is an engine built into the game that ensures that every game outcome is random and the games are never fixed, so every player gets the same chance to trigger a winning spin or get a winning hand at the card table. Taking fair gambling even further, most casinos have their games certified by external testing houses that periodically test their games and audit their RNGs. These include eCOGRA, GLI, and BMM. You can find these certifications at the bottom of the casino’s homepage."

Slots

Slots are the bread and butter of an online casino. They come in every theme imaginable, from Irish luck and Ancient Rome to popular TV shows and movies. There is also a vast array of slot mechanics to choose from, including cluster pays and Megaways (with 117,649 ways to win). Slots are the easiest game to get to grips with – simply hit “Spin”, and the machine does the rest. Slots are the most popular game at Canadian casinos due to their simplicity and diversity. 

Progressive Jackpots

A progressive jackpot is an ever-increasing prize pool that’s shared by every slot on the same network. A portion of every wager on any participating slots goes towards the jackpot, which frequently reaches six figures on popular progressives like Mega Moolah. They work in the same way as slots, and the jackpot can be triggered at any time by the lucky Canuck who hits a winning spin. Much like regular slots, progressives are a mainstay of Canadian online casinos. 

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the most popular table games, and you’ll find plenty of options at Canadian casinos. It comes in multiple variations, but the basic premise is to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going over (or going “bust”). It has one of the lowest house edges of any casino game, and variants like Perfect Pairs and Atlantic City Blackjack are commonly found at Canadian casinos.

Roulette

Alongside blackjack, roulette dominates the table games page at Canadian online casinos. With easy 50/50 betting options like “red or black” or “even or odd”, roulette is a great option for beginners. Meanwhile, payouts for betting on a single number are high, which makes it a fantastic game for thrill seekers and high rollers. Variants like European Roulette, Lightning Roulette and Multi-Wheel Roulette are common at casinos in Canada. 

Poker

Poker, the most skillful online casino game, requires strategy and an excellent poker face. The aim is to make the best five-card hand out of both your own and the community cards. Since it takes some time to learn the card combinations, poker is suited more to an intermediate bettor. Though not quite as common at Canadian casinos, it is certainly one of the most popular table games around.

Video Poker

Video poker combines the aesthetic and instant-win mechanic of slots with the card combinations of poker. The skill is knowing which cards to chuck or keep to maximize your chances of a win. Faster and simpler than regular poker, video poker is a staple of Canadian online casinos.

Live Casino Games

Live dealer casinos take all your favourite table games and stream them in real-time from studios worldwide. Dealt by live croupiers, live casino games are as close as you can get to the brick-and-mortar casino experience. Alongside the table games mentioned above, you can also play live baccarat, Asian games like bac bo and sic bo, and live game shows. Wide bet limits, HD stream quality and the unique social aspect make live dealer games a core feature of Canadian casinos.

The Best Online Casino Bonuses

Following closely behind games, casino bonuses are an integral part of any online casino. From no deposit offers to free spins and monthly cashback, the best Canadian casinos have a jam-packed promotions page to keep returning players well rewarded.

Welcome Bonus

Also referred to as a registration or new player bonus, welcome bonuses are offers you can claim when you sign up to a casino. Designed to catch your attention and reel you in, these one-time bonuses are typically high in value and give new players some deposit match bonus funds or free spins. They’re a great way to boost your bankroll and don’t require much effort to claim. Simply opt-in, make the minimum deposit, and the bonus will automatically land in your account.

Deposit Bonus

Deposit bonuses refer to any bonus that requires a real money deposit to claim. They are very similar to welcome bonuses, except they are also available to reward existing players who have already signed up. Since the casino already has your attention, the value of deposit bonuses isn’t usually as high as a welcome bonus. 

No Deposit Bonus

The polar opposite of a deposit bonus, a no deposit bonus, gives you a small handful of free spins or bonus cash for free. Not bad, huh? These registration bonuses are usually reserved for new players, though some casinos like to dish them out as loyalty rewards every now and then. Though they typically have higher wagering requirements and a lower value than deposit bonuses, they are a great way to test out new games without spending real money. 

Free Spins

One of the two most popular casino bonuses, free spins are free slot stakes that don’t eat into your real money balance. They’re usually included as part of a welcome bonus, though Canadian casinos award free spins as deposit bonuses for returning players. Unlike bonus funds, which depletes in value depending on how much you bet, the value of a spin doesn’t impact the amount you have left. Therefore, you should always bet the maximum amount on a free spin. 

Cashback

Sometimes called a rakeback, cashback bonuses give you a certain percentage of your net losses back as bonus cash. They are most commonly offered as part of a casino’s loyalty program, where the higher the loyalty level you are, the higher the percentage of cashback you receive. 

Reload bonus

A reload bonus is the same as a deposit bonus - it’s a reward for players who reload their accounts with further deposits.
