How to deposit with Interac at a Canadian online casino
Interac first, because it is the method most Canadian players use and the one documented in both directions at the casinos on this site. Below is every deposit and payout method these operators publish, what each is like in practice, and which figures you need to get from the operator rather than from us.

Step by step
Depositing with Interac e-Transfer, in order
Set your limits first. Deposit and loss limits live in account settings. Setting them before your first deposit is the one step people skip and later wish they had not.
Open the cashier and choose Interac. The casinos here list Interac e-Transfer, Interac Request Money and Interac Online. Which appear depends on the operator and your province.
Check the minimum for your method. Minimums are per operator and per method. Two are documented here: Zodiac Casino from $1 and Captain Cooks Casino from $5. For the others, read the cashier page.
Use an account in your own name. The name on the bank account must match the name on the casino account, or verification will fail when you try to withdraw.
Complete the transfer in your online banking. Interac deposits are usually instant.
If it is declined, check your bank first. Most declines are the bank blocking a gambling merchant or an e-Transfer limit, not the casino. See why an Interac casino deposit is declined.
There is nothing to claim here. This site does not advertise deposit offers, matched deposits or promotional credits of any kind, and no page on it tells you to deposit at all.

Withdrawals
Why a withdrawal is not just a deposit in reverse
A deposit is a payment you authorise. A withdrawal is a payment the operator has to approve, and on your first one that approval sits behind identity verification. That is a licensing requirement, not an obstacle: a licensed operator has to know who you are and that the payment method is yours before releasing money.
Most operators also require withdrawals to return to the method you deposited with, where that method supports payouts. If you deposit with Google Instant Payments or Interac Request Money, expect to nominate a different payout method — usually Interac e-Transfer.
How do I deposit with Interac at a Canadian online casino?
Set your deposit limits in account settings, open the cashier and choose an Interac method, check the minimum for that method, confirm the bank account is in your own name, then complete the transfer in your online banking. Interac deposits are usually instant.
Which methods can I use to withdraw?
Across the casinos on this site: Interac e-Transfer, electronic cheque, iDebit, InstaDebit, and Visa or Mastercard where supported. Interac Request Money, Interac Online and Google Instant Payments are deposit-only.
Are there fees on deposits or withdrawals?
Fees are set by the operator and can differ by method, and none are documented on this site. Check the cashier page or ask support before you request a payout. Your own bank may also apply limits or charges.
Can I withdraw to a different method than I deposited with?
Often not. Many operators require withdrawals to return to the deposit method where that method supports payouts, and otherwise ask you to nominate an alternative in your own name. Confirm with the operator.

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.
