CAD – Canadian Dollar Casinos

Canada is massive land mass consisting of 10 provinces and 3 territories, each one licensing and regulating the grey area that is gambling activity in its respective jurisdiction differently. Generally, gambling within Canadian borders is only legal at licensed and regulated gaming establishments.

Online gambling is not illegal and it legal for Canadian players to gamble at foreign websites. With this in mind, online casinos can be licensed by different countries, some with stricter regulations than others, so it's best to take a look at the operator and not just play at any site that may look appealing on first glance.

Canadians who choose to play at online casinos in other counties which are regulated by entities such as the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Costa Rica and the UK Gambling Commission are free to do so. As online gambling is considered a legal grey area, gambling in Canada and its future is tough to predict.

Canadian players who register at a casino licensed in the European Union can also enjoy the tougher regulations that the regulating bodies impose on the casinos, for example fair games and player protection guidelines, as these laws are not just valid for European casinos, but apply to the casino operator itself, making it a safe choice for everyone.

While online casinos accepting CAD are quite numerous, you may find that there are a few exceptions. The most obvious workaround would be to exchange your Canadian dollars into an alternative frequently accepted currency like EUR, USD or GBP. Given the proximity to the much larger U.S, many Canadians by default tend to hold Greenbacks in reserve.

Provided that the casino accepts Canadian Dollar C$ as an account currency, you'll be able to deposit and withdraw with CAD. Keep in mind to use a payment method that also supports CAD for the withdrawal, as not every payment method can be used both for the withdrawal and the deposit.

Canadian players are often invited to receive a casino bonus when they make their first deposit at the casino. You can see some of the bonuses on this page. The bonus is also available for CAD deposits. Remember, that bonuses are subject to restrictive terms and wagering requirements, and we recommend reading them before you opt to receive bonus money.
