Best casinos

Updated
21.10.2026

This page is for players in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. It does not cover Ontario or Alberta. Both provinces run their own regulated online markets, and nothing listed here is offered to players there.

The list below holds the six casinos we review in full. For each one we checked the licence against the regulator's public register, Interac e-Transfer, Canadian dollar accounts, the provinces the operator refuses, support and responsible gambling tools. We read the operator's own pages first and say so where a fact comes from a third party. Where we could not confirm something, the page says it is unknown. Facts were checked on October 20 and 21, 2026.

Quick facts

  • Who this page is for: players in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, the four Atlantic provinces and the three territories. Not Ontario, not Alberta.
  • Gambling age: 19 in every province and territory we cover, except 18 in Quebec and Manitoba.
  • Licences: none of the six casinos is licensed by a province. Two have a licence we could confirm in a regulator's register: iWild (Curaçao) and Tonybet (Kahnawake). Verde's Curaçao licence is in the register, but its renewal is pending. For the other three, the licence is unverified or not shown at all.
  • Payments: Interac e-Transfer is the method to look for first. Banks may decline gambling payments on credit cards or charge them as a cash advance.
  • Tax: winnings from recreational gambling are generally not taxed in Canada. Professional gamblers are the exception.
  • Help: every province and territory has a free help line. The numbers are further down this page.

How we chose these six

The six casinos on this page are the ones we review in full for the Canadian site at launch. We started from what Canadian players search for: these brands draw steady search interest from Canada, and for several of them Canada is one of their largest countries. That is why they are here. It is not a statement that they passed every check, and the facts below show where they did not.

We then checked each casino against the same seven points. Our how we rate casinos page explains each one and how much it counts.

  • Licence. Is a licence shown on the site, and does it appear in the regulator's own public register with a current status? A licence that is claimed but missing from the register, expired, or issued for a different website counts for less. No licence at all counts for least.
  • Interac e-Transfer. Does the operator itself list Interac e-Transfer, or do only third-party review sites say so?
  • Canadian dollars. Can you hold your balance in Canadian dollars, or will every deposit be converted?
  • Provinces. Which provinces do the operator's terms refuse, beyond Ontario and Alberta?
  • Responsible gambling tools. Deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and reality checks, and whether you can set them yourself or have to ask support.
  • Support. Live chat in English, and whether it runs around the clock.
  • Complaints. What patterns show up on public complaint sites such as Casino Guru and AskGamblers.

A few things about how the checks were done. We did not open accounts or make deposits. Everything comes from public pages: the casino's terms and conditions, help centre and footer, then the regulator's register. Some casino sites did not load fully for us, or were blocked on our connection. Where that happened, the fact comes from a third-party review site and we say so. We do not guess. A field we could not confirm reads "unknown".

We also leave out bonus details on this page. Offers change often and differ by country, so each casino's current offer and its full terms are on its own page and on the casino's site.

The six at a glance

A short version of the checks, before the detail for each casino.

  • Licence confirmed in a regulator's register: iWild (Curaçao, active) and Tonybet (Kahnawake). In the register with a lapsed expiry and renewal pending: Verde (Curaçao). Not confirmed: Betrepublic, Cleobetra and Kingmaker.
  • Interac e-Transfer shown on the casino's own site: Betrepublic and Cleobetra. Listed only by third-party sites: Kingmaker and Tonybet. Disputed between third-party sites: iWild and Verde.
  • Canadian dollar accounts: shown in the casino's own terms at Kingmaker and, most likely, Betrepublic. Listed by third-party sites for Cleobetra, Tonybet and Verde. Not offered at iWild.
  • Provinces refused beyond Ontario and Alberta: none named in the terms we could read. The terms of Cleobetra, Tonybet and Verde could not be read.
  • Limits you can set yourself: iWild, according to its terms, and Tonybet, according to a third-party site. At Betrepublic, Cleobetra and Kingmaker, self-exclusion or a time-out goes through support. Verde: sources disagree.
  • 24/7 live chat stated by the casino: Betrepublic, Cleobetra and Kingmaker. iWild, Tonybet and Verde: hours not stated.

Which casino fits which need

If the licence matters most to you, start with iWild or Tonybet, the two whose licences we could find in a register. If you want to see Interac e-Transfer on the casino's own pages before you sign up, Betrepublic and Cleobetra show it. If you want to keep your balance in Canadian dollars, note that iWild's terms offer only euros, US dollars and crypto. If you want to set a deposit limit without writing to support, iWild's terms allow it in your account. Whichever you pick, read the full review first; each one goes through withdrawals and ID checks in more detail.

The six casinos: what we verified

The casinos below are in alphabetical order. The list at the top of the page sets the order we show them in. Every casino here is listed with "Ontario, Alberta" under provinces not accepted, because this site does not serve those provinces, even where the casino's own terms do not exclude them.

Betrepublic

  • Licence: not shown on the site. Third-party sites say Tobique Gaming Commission. The Commission's public list includes a company that third parties link to Betrepublic, but the list shows no licence numbers or website addresses, so the register does not confirm that Betrepublic runs under it. Casino Guru classes the licence as unverifiable.
  • Operator: not named on the site. Third-party sources give three different company names.
  • Interac e-Transfer: shown in the casino's help centre, with no split between deposits and withdrawals. A third-party list does not show Interac for withdrawals.
  • Canadian dollars: likely. The terms print withdrawal limits in Canadian dollars, and third-party sites list CAD accounts.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. The casino's terms name no Canadian province.
  • Withdrawal limits in the terms: they rise with VIP level, from $750 a day and $10,500 a month at the first level, according to the operator's terms.
  • ID checks: on request, before or after deposits and withdrawals: ID, proof of address, proof that the payment method is yours, and bank or card statements.
  • Support: live chat and email, 24/7 according to the help centre, in English.
  • Responsible gambling tools: self-exclusion by email to support. We found no limits you can set yourself in the terms.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): mostly withdrawals held under review and long verification. Casino Guru also records two cases where an account stayed open after a self-exclusion or gambling-problem request.

Cleobetra

  • Licence: none shown on the site, and none we could confirm in a register. Third-party sites claim Anjouan, Tobique or other licences. Cleobetra does not appear in the Anjouan register. The Tobique list includes a company some third parties name as the operator, but nothing on the list ties it to cleobetra.com.
  • Operator: not named on the site. Third-party sources give three different company names.
  • Interac e-Transfer: shown in the payment strip on the casino's own homepage and help centre.
  • Canadian dollars: yes, according to four third-party review sites. Not confirmed on the casino's site.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. The casino's terms did not load for us, so we cannot say whether it refuses any other province.
  • ID checks (third-party): before the first withdrawal: photo ID, proof of address, and proof of the payment method.
  • Support: live chat and email, 24/7 according to the help centre, in English.
  • Responsible gambling tools: the casino's responsible gaming page did not load for us. Third-party reviews describe self-exclusion by email and few or no limits you can set in your account.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): mostly delayed or cancelled withdrawals, account closures and withdrawal caps that spread large wins over months.

iWild

  • Licence: Curaçao Gaming Authority, licence OGL/2024/758/0228, held by Goodwin N.V. It appears in the Authority's register with an active status, and the certificate is linked from the casino's footer.
  • Operator: Goodwin N.V., Willemstad, Curaçao, named in the footer and terms.
  • Interac e-Transfer: not listed on the casino's public pages. Third-party sites disagree on whether it is offered, so check the cashier after you sign up.
  • Canadian dollars: no. The terms list euros, US dollars and cryptocurrencies. Expect your deposits to be converted.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. The casino's own terms do not exclude any Canadian province.
  • Withdrawal limits in the terms: a general limit of US$1,000 a day, higher for some players, according to the operator's terms.
  • ID checks: at the first withdrawal and any time after: passport or national ID, utility bills and copies of deposit cards. The terms say checks can also apply at any deposit.
  • Support: live chat and email in English. Hours are not stated.
  • Responsible gambling tools: limits in your account or through support, and permanent self-exclusion. The terms say deposit limits do not apply to crypto deposits. Time-outs and reality checks are not mentioned.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): a large number of complaints, mostly delayed, cancelled or unpaid withdrawals and slow verification.

Kingmaker

  • Licence: none shown on the site, and none found in the Anjouan, Curaçao or Kahnawake registers. One review site quotes an Anjouan licence number that is not in the Anjouan register.
  • Operator: not named on the site. Third-party sources give different company names.
  • Interac e-Transfer: listed by a third-party review site. The casino's payments page showed no methods to us without an account.
  • Canadian dollars: yes. The terms print limits in Canadian dollars.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. The casino's own terms do not exclude any Canadian province.
  • Withdrawal limits in the terms: they rise with VIP level, from $750 a day and $10,500 a month at the first level, according to the operator's terms.
  • ID checks: certified ID, proof of address, proof that the payment method is yours, and statements, before or after deposits and withdrawals. The terms allow a phone or face check, and documents are due within 30 days of a request.
  • Support: live chat and email, 24/7 according to the help centre, in English.
  • Responsible gambling tools: time-out and self-exclusion through support by email. Deposit limits and reality checks are not described.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): mostly delayed or pending withdrawals, accounts not closed after self-exclusion or closure requests, and bonus disputes.

Tonybet

  • Licence: Kahnawake Gaming Commission. "Osauhing Tonybet" with the address tonybet.com/ca appears on the Commission's public list of interactive permit holders. The list shows no licence numbers, so the number some review sites quote is not confirmed.
  • Operator: Osauhing Tonybet, Estonia.
  • Interac e-Transfer: listed by third-party sites for deposits and withdrawals. We could not read the casino's own cashier.
  • Canadian dollars: yes, according to third-party sites.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. Tonybet runs separate, provincially regulated sites for Ontario and Alberta. A third-party site states that tonybet.com is not available in either province.
  • ID checks (third-party): before withdrawal: passport, driver's licence or national ID, proof of address and proof of the deposit method. Some complaints mention selfie checks.
  • Support (third-party): live chat and email in English. Hours unknown.
  • Responsible gambling tools (third-party): deposit limits, self-exclusion and session controls.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): mostly payments: withdrawals stuck pending, repeat verification requests and accounts closed with balances held.

Verde

  • Licence: Curaçao Gaming Authority, licence OGL/2024/686/0183, held by Wiraon B.V. The licence is in the Authority's register, but the expiry printed there, April 14, 2026, has passed and the status reads "Assessment in progress", so the renewal is still pending. Older review sites quote 8048/JAZ, a number from Curaçao's previous system.
  • Operator (third-party): Wiraon B.V., Curaçao. One review names Briantie Limited, Cyprus, as the parent company. The casino's site was blocked on our connection, so we could not read its footer or terms.
  • Interac e-Transfer: third-party sites disagree. One lists Interac without saying which kind; another lists no Interac at all. We have not seen the cashier.
  • Canadian dollars: yes, according to third-party sites.
  • Provinces not accepted: Ontario, Alberta. We could not read the casino's own terms.
  • ID checks (third-party): before the first withdrawal: a passport or driver's licence, a utility bill or bank statement as proof of address, and sometimes proof of the payment method.
  • Support (third-party): live chat, email and a phone line in Cyprus, in English. Hours unknown.
  • Responsible gambling tools (third-party): sources disagree. One lists deposit and loss limits, cool-off, self-exclusion and reality checks; an older review from 2024 found little beyond self-exclusion.
  • Complaint sites (third-party): more than 20 complaints on AskGamblers, mostly delayed withdrawals and drawn-out verification, with some accounts blocked while holding a balance and limits on crypto withdrawals.

Games, live dealer and sports betting

All six casinos run large game libraries and live dealer tables. Game counts change every week, so treat these as a rough guide, checked on October 20 and 21, 2026.

  • Betrepublic: 13,691 games in the lobby, about 11,000 of them slots. Live dealer and a sportsbook with ice hockey and live betting.
  • Cleobetra: more than 11,000 slots in the lobby, plus blackjack, roulette and game shows. Live dealer and a sportsbook.
  • iWild: 12,982 games from 124 providers, according to its homepage. Live dealer. We did not see a sportsbook.
  • Kingmaker: no game count published. Live dealer, a sportsbook, live betting and virtual sports. Some games are blocked for Canada under its terms.
  • Tonybet (third-party): more than 8,000 casino games and over 900 live tables. A sportsbook covering more than 40 sports.
  • Verde (third-party): about 3,000 games from 26 studios, including Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Play'n GO. Live dealer through Evolution. Sources disagree on whether it has a sportsbook.

None of the six publishes a site-wide or audited payout percentage. RTP is set game by game, and most games show it in their info screen. If you also bet on hockey, our sports betting page and NHL betting guide cover the sportsbook side.

Interac e-Transfer at online casinos

Interac e-Transfer is the payment method most Canadian players look for first, and for good reason. It moves money straight from your chequing account, it works at every major bank, and you never type a card number into a casino's site. Our Interac e-Transfer guide covers it step by step. Here is what matters when you pick a casino.

How a casino deposit usually works

  • In the casino's cashier, choose Interac e-Transfer and enter the amount.
  • The cashier sends you on to your bank's online banking or app, or gives you transfer details to use there.
  • You approve the transfer in your bank. The recipient is often a payment company that handles money for the casino, not the casino itself, so the name you see may not match the brand.
  • The money shows in your casino balance once the payment company confirms it.

Always start the deposit from the casino's cashier. Do not send an e-Transfer to an email address or phone number someone gives you in a chat or a message.

Withdrawals are the part to check

A casino that takes Interac deposits does not always pay out by Interac. In the third-party data for Betrepublic, for example, Interac shows for deposits but not for withdrawals. Before you deposit, look at the casino's withdrawal methods, not just its deposit methods. Expect an ID check before your first withdrawal at any of these casinos.

Your bank's limit is the ceiling

Every bank caps how much you can send by e-Transfer. Some publish the figure: CIBC, for example, sets $3,000 per 24 hours by default. Others, like TD, Scotiabank and BMO, set limits per customer and show them in online banking. Our Canadian banks guide lists what each bank publishes.

Methods you will still see that no longer work

  • Interac Online was retired in 2024. A casino or review site that lists it is out of date.
  • InstaDebit closed in 2026. Deposits ended on February 27, 2026, and withdrawals on April 30, 2026.

Credit cards

Banks may decline gambling payments on credit cards or charge them as a cash advance. A cash advance usually means a fee and interest from the day of the deposit, with no grace period. If your chequing account is empty and a credit card is the only way left to deposit, that is a good moment to stop.

Province by province: who is covered and at what age

Gambling in Canada is run province by province. Each province decides its own minimum age and runs, or chooses not to run, its own online site. This is how it looks for the provinces and territories this site covers.

  • British Columbia: 19+. Provincial site: PlayNow. Help: Gambling Support BC, 1-888-795-6111.
  • Saskatchewan: 19+. Provincial site: PlayNow. Help: Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-306-6789.
  • Manitoba: 18+. Provincial site: PlayNow. Help: Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-463-1554.
  • Quebec: 18+. Provincial site: Loto-Québec. Help: Jeu : aide et référence, 1-800-461-0140.
  • New Brunswick: 19+. Provincial site: Atlantic Lottery. Help: Gambling Information Line, 1-800-461-1234.
  • Nova Scotia: 19+. Provincial site: Atlantic Lottery. Help: Mental Health and Addictions Crisis Line (24/7), 1-888-429-8167.
  • Prince Edward Island: 19+. Provincial site: Atlantic Lottery. Help: Problem Gambling Help Line, 1-855-255-4255.
  • Newfoundland and Labrador: 19+. Provincial site: Atlantic Lottery. Help: Gambling Help Line, 811.
  • Yukon: 19+. No territorial online site. Help: Canadian Mental Health Association, Yukon: Reach Out Support, 1-844-533-3030.
  • Northwest Territories: 19+. No territorial online site. Help: 811 Helpline, 811 or 1-844-259-1793.
  • Nunavut: 19+. No territorial online site. Help: Kamatsiaqtut Help Line, 1-800-265-3333.

A casino's own terms may set its minimum age at 18. The age that applies to you is still your province's.

Why Ontario and Alberta are left out

Ontario opened its own regulated market for private online casinos in 2022, and Alberta followed on July 13, 2026. In both provinces, private casinos need a provincial licence to offer their games. Several brands now run a separate site for those players. This site does not serve either province, and the casinos on it are not offered to players there.

Your provincial site or an offshore casino

Most readers of this page already have, or could open, an account on their provincial site. The difference is who stands behind it. PlayNow, Loto-Québec and Atlantic Lottery are run by provincial bodies and follow provincial rules. PlayNow, for example, verifies your identity when you sign up. The casinos on this page are licensed outside your province, usually ask for ID at your first withdrawal, and are not overseen by your province. That changes where you can turn if something goes wrong, which the next section explains.

Offshore licences, explained plainly

Every casino on this page holds, or claims, a licence from a body outside your province's control. Your provincial regulator does not supervise these casinos and cannot take your complaint about one. If a withdrawal is refused, the route is the casino's own complaints process, then the body that issued its licence, if it has one. How useful that route is depends on the licence.

Curaçao

Curaçao, an island in the Caribbean, issues licences through the Curaçao Gaming Authority. Its rules were rebuilt from 2023 onward: casinos now hold their own licence, numbered like OGL/2024/758/0228, instead of a sub-licence under a larger company. The Authority publishes a register of licences with their status, and casinos usually link a certificate from their footer. iWild's licence is in that register as active. Verde's is listed too, but the expiry printed there has passed and its status reads "Assessment in progress". Older numbers such as 8048/JAZ belong to the previous system and are no longer current licences.

Anjouan

Anjouan is an island in the Comoros, off East Africa. Its register lists each licence with its number, status, expiry date and the websites it covers. That last part matters: a casino can quote a real licence that does not include its own website. Third-party sites link Cleobetra and Kingmaker to Anjouan licences, but we found neither casino in the register.

Kahnawake

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is based in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawà:ke, near Montreal. It publishes a list of the companies it permits, with their website addresses. Tonybet's Canadian site appears on that list. The list does not print licence numbers.

Tobique

The Tobique Gaming Commission belongs to the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick. Its public list shows each licence holder's company name, licence type and expiry date, but no licence numbers and no websites. That means the list on its own cannot show which casino site a licence covers.

How to check a licence yourself

  • Scroll to the casino's footer and look for the licence number and a seal you can click.
  • Open the regulator's own register, not a link that only goes to an image.
  • Check that the company name matches the casino's terms, the status is current, and the casino's website is listed where the register shows websites.
  • If the footer shows no licence at all, treat that as a warning on its own.

Wagering requirements, in dollars

Most casino bonuses come with a wagering requirement: the total amount you must bet before bonus money, or winnings from it, can be withdrawn. Terms usually write it as a multiple, like 35x. It is much easier to judge once you turn it into dollars.

A generic example. The numbers below are made up to show the arithmetic. They are not any casino's offer.

  • You deposit $100 and get a $100 bonus with 35x wagering on the bonus. You must place $100 x 35 = $3,500 in bets before you can withdraw.
  • If the 35x applies to the deposit plus the bonus, the base is $200, and you must bet $200 x 35 = $7,000.
  • Games count differently. If slots count 100% and blackjack counts 10%, every $10 bet on blackjack adds only $1. Clearing $3,500 on blackjack alone would take $35,000 in bets.

Now the part bonus pages rarely mention. Every game returns less than you bet over time. A slot with a 96% return to player (RTP) pays back, on average, $96 for every $100 wagered. Bet $3,500 on it and the expected cost is about $140, more than the $100 bonus itself. Your actual result can be higher or lower, but the average works against you.

Also read the other bonus rules before you accept: the time limit, the largest bet allowed while the bonus is active, and which games are excluded. Breaking one of them can cancel the bonus and anything won with it. Each casino's current terms are on its own page and on the casino's site. You can also decline a bonus and play with your own money, which leaves no wagering at all.

Taxes on gambling winnings in Canada

For most players, gambling winnings are not taxed in Canada. The Canada Revenue Agency treats winnings from recreational gambling as a windfall, which is generally not taxable. Its Income Tax Folio S3-F9-C1 sets this out.

  • The exception is gambling as a business. The Agency says regular gambling is not generally treated as a business except in very exceptional circumstances, such as a person who applies inside information, knowledge and skill in a systematic way. Whether that applies is a question of fact.
  • Interest is taxable. Money your winnings earn after you bank them, such as interest, is income and has to be reported. The Agency's page on amounts that are not reported or taxed gives this example for lottery winnings.
  • Keep records. Save your casino transaction history and bank statements. They show where large deposits into your account came from if anyone asks.

This is general information, not tax advice. If gambling is a large part of your income, talk to an accountant.

Responsible gambling and help lines

Gambling should cost what you decided in advance, and no more. The casinos on this page differ a lot in the tools they give you, which is why we list them for each one above. Our responsible gambling page covers the warning signs and how to set limits.

Tools worth using from day one

  • Deposit limits. A daily, weekly or monthly cap. Set it before your first deposit, when it is easiest to be honest about the number.
  • Time-outs. A break of a day to a few weeks, during which you cannot log in.
  • Self-exclusion. A longer or permanent block. At several casinos on this page you have to ask support by email, so keep the confirmation they send you.
  • Reality checks. A reminder that shows how long you have been playing.

Self-exclusion at an offshore casino is separate from your province's programs. Excluding yourself from PlayNow or Loto-Québec does not block you at the casinos on this page, and the other way round. If you want a full break, exclude yourself at each site you use.

Provincial programs

GameSense runs in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the territories, and Game Break is British Columbia's self-exclusion program. In Quebec, Loto-Québec's program is Bien jouer (Wise Play).

How to choose a casino

No casino suits everyone, and none of the six on this page passed every one of our checks. These questions help you decide which trade-offs you can live with.

  • Can you confirm the licence? Use the steps above. A licence you can find in the regulator's register, with a current status and the casino's own website on it, is the starting point. A casino that shows no licence gives you little to fall back on.
  • Does it pay out the way you want to be paid? Check the withdrawal methods, not just the deposit methods. If you want Interac e-Transfer both ways, confirm it in the cashier before you deposit.
  • Will your money stay in Canadian dollars? A casino without CAD accounts converts every deposit and withdrawal, and you pay the exchange cost both ways.
  • What will they ask for, and when? Have your driver's licence or passport and a recent proof of address ready before you request a withdrawal. Some casinos also ask for a void cheque or a bank statement.
  • Can you set your own limits? A casino where you can set a deposit limit in your account is easier to play at safely than one where you have to email support.
  • What do complaint sites show? A few complaints are normal for any large casino. A pattern of the same problem, such as withdrawals held for weeks, tells you what to expect.
  • Is the bonus worth it? Turn the wagering into dollars, as shown above. Taking no bonus is a valid choice.

Each casino's full review covers these points in more depth, including withdrawals and ID checks before the bonus. All six reviews are linked above, and the full list of casinos we cover is on our all casinos page.

Frequently asked questions

Are the casinos on this page regulated by my province?

No. None of the six is licensed by a Canadian province. Their licences, where one exists, come from bodies such as the Curaçao Gaming Authority or the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Your provincial regulator does not oversee them and cannot take a complaint about one. We could confirm a licence in a regulator's register for iWild and Tonybet. Verde's Curaçao licence is in the register, but its renewal is pending. For the other three it is unverified or not shown. Each casino's section on this page says which.

Are gambling winnings taxed in Canada?

For recreational players, generally not. The Canada Revenue Agency treats winnings from recreational gambling as a windfall, which is not taxed. The exception is someone carrying on gambling as a business, which the Agency says applies only in very exceptional circumstances. Interest or other income your winnings earn after you bank them is taxable. This is general information, not tax advice; see Income Tax Folio S3-F9-C1 on canada.ca.

Can I use Interac e-Transfer at these casinos?

At most of them, but check before you deposit. Betrepublic and Cleobetra show Interac e-Transfer on their own sites. For Kingmaker and Tonybet, only third-party sites list it, and for iWild and Verde third-party sites disagree. A casino that takes Interac deposits does not always pay out by Interac, so look at the withdrawal methods too. Interac Online was retired in 2024 and InstaDebit closed in 2026. See our Interac e-Transfer guide.

What is the gambling age in my province?

19 in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. 18 in Quebec and Manitoba. A casino's own terms may say 18+, but the age that applies to you is your province's. This site does not serve Ontario or Alberta.

What will a casino ask for before my first withdrawal?

Expect an ID check before your first withdrawal at all six casinos. Usually that means a passport or driver's licence, a recent proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement, and proof that the payment method is yours. Some casinos also ask for bank statements or a void cheque, and Kingmaker's terms allow a phone or face check. Sending the documents early avoids a held withdrawal later.
