About this site

What this site is, and what it is not

This is an independent comparison site. We do not operate casinos, we do not run player accounts, and we never hold or process player money. We may earn a commission if a reader registers with an operator through a link here, which costs the reader nothing and does not change the factual information we publish.

We do not advertise inducements of any kind. No bonuses, credits, free spins, cashback, reload offers, promo codes, welcome packages or deposit-match figures appear anywhere on this site — not in tables, not in calls to action, not in page titles and not in structured data. Any terms an operator offers are shown on the operator’s own site.

Where a figure is not documented — exact payout hours, licence numbers, per-account limits, individual bank policies — we say so and point you at the operator or the regulator, rather than publishing a number we cannot stand behind.

Nothing here is advice that anyone should gamble, and nothing here is legal, financial or tax advice.

Questions

Answers in brief

Short answers, with the full explanation one link away.

Is online casino play legal for players in Canada?

It depends on your province, and no operator is legal everywhere in Canada. Ontario runs a registered private market, most other provinces run a government platform, and Alberta began opening a private market on 13 July 2026. Legality also depends on where you are physically located when you play.

What is the legal age to play online casino games in Canada?

It is 19 in most provinces and territories, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Licensed operators verify age and identity.

Are online casino winnings taxable in Canada?

Recreational winnings are generally treated as a windfall rather than income and are not taxed as income. Gambling carried on as a business is treated differently, and investment income earned on the money afterwards is taxable. Check with the Canada Revenue Agency or an accountant.

How can I confirm a casino is licensed for my province?

In Ontario, search the official iGaming Ontario register of regulated operators. Elsewhere, read the licence statement on the operator’s own site, open the certificate it links to, and confirm it with the regulator directly — for these operators, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Can I deposit and withdraw with Interac at the casinos on this site?

Yes. Interac e-Transfer works in both directions, and Interac Request Money and Interac Online are available for deposits. Deposits are usually instant; withdrawals are typically processed within 1 to 5 business days after approval.

What documents will I be asked for before a withdrawal?

Typically government photo identification, a document confirming your address, and proof of the payment method you deposited with. The exact list is set by the operator and shown during verification.

Why does this site not compare bonuses?

Because publicly advertising inducements is restricted under the advertising standards this site follows, including the AGCO Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming and the CGA Code for Responsible Gaming Advertising. Operator terms are shown on the operator’s own site.

Where can I get help if gambling has become a problem?

Free, confidential help is available 24/7 from ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600, by text at 247247, or at connexontario.ca. Provincial help lines for the rest of Canada are listed on our responsible gambling page.

Play responsibly.

Gambling can cause harm. Online casino play is adult entertainment with a real risk of losing money — it is not a way to make money, pay bills or solve a financial problem. Set deposit, loss and time limits before you play.
