Every article is written from research, not first-hand play. We read each casino's own terms, cashier and help pages, check licences in the regulators' public registers, and label anything taken from review sites or complaint sites as third-party. Each article carries the date its facts were checked, and when a fact changes we update the article and its date. Offer details are read from each casino's own site, and the casino's own terms always apply. SpinsPilot earns a commission from some casinos, which never changes what we write: see our affiliate disclosure.
New to online casinos? Our guides explain wagering requirements, odds formats, licences and the gambling age in every province and territory. You must be 19 or older to gamble online in most of Canada, and 18 or older in Quebec and Manitoba. If gambling stops being fun, our responsible gambling page lists free, confidential help lines for every province and territory.
Each article names the casinos it covers, links to their pages on SpinsPilot and says where each fact comes from, the casino's own site or a review site, so you can check it against the casino's own terms before you sign up or deposit.
