FAQ

Some online platforms require you to download software in order to play various online casino games. This is called a download casino. However, players prefer to be able to access the entertainment directly without having to download anything. If the casino games are accessible directly from the website, then you are playing at a no-download casino.

If you meet the conditions outlined below, it is legal to play at an online casino in Canada and Quebec. Just make sure that the casino you want to play at has a license from a recognized organization (Curaçao, Malta Gaming Authority, Gibraltar Gambling Commission).

The payment methods available for depositing and withdrawing winnings in Canada will depend on the casino. It is therefore important to make the right choice and register with a platform that has a wide range of payment methods. Here is an overview of the payment solutions you can find at the best online casinos in Canada:

-Bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro)

-Prepaid cards (Paysafecard, Cashlib, Neosurf)

-E-wallets (Neteller, Skrill, EcoPayz, Paypal)

-Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin)

-Interac

The average withdrawal time will depend on several factors:

The validation time by the online casino: for security reasons, each withdrawal request is manually validated by the casino’s security team. Depending on their professionalism and responsiveness, this verification process can take between 24 and 48 hours.

The withdrawal method chosen: Obviously, the withdrawal option chosen will vary the time it takes to receive the money in your account. While bank cards and e-wallets are known to be fast (24 to 72 hours), a bank transfer can take much longer (5 working days).

Canadian online casinos are known for offering a fairly high level of entertainment. While the number of games available depends on each platform, you should find these classics on every Canadian casino site:

-Slots (classic and jackpot)

-Table games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps)

Some online casinos are known to be very lucrative. It is therefore important to choose the right platform if you want to maximize your chances of winning money. The profitability of an online casino can be broken down into 3 points:

The welcome offer: some online casinos offer welcome bonuses that can reach several thousand dollars. Sometimes, free spins are even added to the welcome package, giving you a great start to your casino adventure.

Promotions: the best online casinos offer many promotions that are available even to former customers. It is therefore very important to play on a platform rich in promotions as this will allow you to enjoy cash bonuses, free spins and other cashback on a regular basis.

The player payout ratio: this is the profitability of a casino through its games. It is well known that the casino always comes out on top. However, some gambling sites are more profitable than others. The closer their payout ratio is to 100%, the more profitable the online casino will be. An online casino with a payout ratio of 97% will pay out C$97 to its players for every C$100 wagered.

For players on a budget, a no deposit bonus is a great opportunity to start playing without investing money. Unfortunately, no deposit bonuses are quite rare and hard to find. Don’t expect to get a large bonus without having to deposit money either. These bonuses usually amount to a few dozen dollars maximum.

If you are an amateur or regular player, you are not required to declare your winnings and pay taxes. Only professional players (e.g. poker players) have to declare their winnings as the amounts involved are considerable.
