The best online casinos

Rating of online casinos in Canada

Best online casino 2023

The gambling sector in Canada is steadily growing, and online casinos are partly to blame. Since 2012, when the law regulating online gambling in our country came into force, new operators have emerged that are betting on offering their online casinos in Canada.

The most important companies in this sector in Europe are represented in Canada, but several Canadian operators have also stepped forward, either starting from scratch or making the leap from physical casinos and gambling to online.

The site offers the best analysis of each online casino so you can choose the one that best suits your passions and tastes: games, bonuses, payment methods, etc.

But before choosing a casino, you should also be clear about such concepts as the factors to be evaluated when choosing a particular casino, security, the different games offered by online casinos, etc., which are constant doubts among players.

How do we rank the best online casinos?

We tested all of Canada's online casinos to compile the rankings, and based on what they have to offer and our experience with them, the rankings were compiled. When analyzing any online casino, the following factors are taken into consideration:

• What games does the casino offer: this is one of the first things any player looks at before registering at a casino, so the game catalog is key. We look at both the games and how many and what versions of each game it offers.
• Demo mode: there is a demo mode associated with the games catalog. Some online casinos allow us to try all their games for free, others offer this only for some games and some do not offer it at all.
• General stability of the site: if we play at an online casino, we want the page to load quickly, there is easy navigation, quick access to games, easy registration, convenient conditions for deposit and withdrawal ...
• Bonuses and promotions: The welcome bonus is a determining factor when evaluating an online casino. It should be powerful and easy to release, but promotions or the increasingly common no deposit bonuses help online casinos score points.
• Customer service: it is very important that in case of any incident, customer service offers us a quick solution to the problem. Ideally, they should offer several ways to get in touch, including a toll-free phone number and/or online chat.
• Deposit and withdrawal options: the more payment methods for deposits and withdrawals, the better.
• VIP Club: Just as many land-based casinos have VIP clubs for the most loyal players, online casinos also have VIP or loyalty clubs which offer interesting prizes for playing.

Online casinos are constantly adding new features, so our ranking is also updated according to the new offers and services offered by each casino.

Keys to choosing an online casino

The first thing you should understand is that in order to operate in our country, casinos need to obtain a gaming license in Canada. If not, you are putting your money at risk as there is no guarantee.

Having a license to operate in Canada is the best indicator of safe gaming, as Canadian law will protect you from fraud, scams or any unscrupulousness on the part of the casino. Only in a licensed casino will you play under the same conditions as other players and the neutrality of the game is guaranteed.

With this first criterion, we can exclude disreputable online casinos that should not operate in Canada, but we still have dozens of casinos to choose from. Another filter is the catalog of games offered.

If you prefer roulette or blackjack, you should choose a casino that offers different versions of those games. If you enjoy trying different casino games, it may be better to sacrifice versions of some of them in search of a wider variety... It all depends on your taste.

When choosing a casino, you should also pay attention to the payment methods and customer service offered. The more options we have for deposits and withdrawals, the better.

As for customer service, ideally it should be available 24 hours a day, quickly, through different channels (chat, phone) and for free. If the casino doesn't have 24-hour customer service, make sure it is offered during the hours you usually play when you might be affected by an incident.

Finally, we'll look at the bonuses offered by online casinos, from welcome bonuses to loyalty bonuses, daily or weekly promotions, tournaments, refunds, etc.

Sometimes we get carried away with a big welcome bonus, when for our style of play it would be better to choose a lower bonus that is offset by loyalty bonuses, VIP club, etc.

Security at online casinos

One of the issues that players are most concerned about is security. We have already seen that for an online casino to be completely safe, it needs to have a license to operate in Canada and to offer games authorized by this license.

This is a license issued by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) of the Ministry of Finance, an independent body that has no business relationship with the casino.

In addition, many online casinos are part of arbitration organizations that offer mediation services between customers and companies.

One of the requirements for obtaining a gaming license in Canada is that the casino uses Random Number Generator, a random number generation system that guarantees the integrity of the game. This system is checked by specialized companies independent of the casino. Finally, make sure that you are using secure connections, with the URL starting with https: and not http.

Different games in online casinos

Six of the 14 games regulated in Canada are among those that could be considered casino games: slot machines, blackjack, bingo, point and click, poker and roulette.

However, some operators may offer some of these games separately, such as slots, bingo or casino games. In any case, these are the only games that casinos operating in Canada can offer.

Play online casinos from your cell phone

Did you know that you don't have to sit in front of your computer to log into your favorite online casino? You can play from your cell phone or tablet thanks to the casino app. And if it doesn't have a mobile app, it makes sure to offer a mobile version of the site so you can play from anywhere.

You can look for the jackpot in your favorite slots or spin the roulette wheel from the subway, in your house in the country or while waiting for unpunctual friends. The first step is to download the free casino app from the casino itself, the App Store or Google Play. You'll find the same games as the web version.

Needless to say, we log into the casino app with the same username and password as on the computer. We have the same security and can make our deposits or request withdrawals without having to be in front of a computer.
