I would like to make a suggestion to ALL the online Casinos that accept Canadian players.
Since Neteller dropped US players, there has been a scramble to enable them to deposit, not so much for Canadian players when Neteller dropped us. This is due to the fact that the US made up a huge portion of the online business, I can understand that, the US population is over 300 million, whereas Canada stands at about 34 million.
Our options are limited, most Canadian Banks won't allow CC transactions for gaming, the only way to fund an ewallet like Moneybookers is by wire transfer, most casinos don't accept Echeck from Canadian banks, and the fees for C2P are absurd. A lot of the Casinos I would like to play at don't accept Instadebit, and waiting for the funds is a pain, so I have dropped them.
If you don't want to or can't set up for Echeck, which takes 3-5 days to clear, I have a simpler solution, with VERY low costs for the player and the casino, and is pretty much instant.
Interac Email Money transfers usually only cost $1.50 to send regardless of the amount, and receiving them is FREE, limits do apply. All you need to send or receive them is an email address and an online Canadian Bank account that supports this service. Payments are as good as cash as soon as they are accepted, so no more waiting 3-5 days or more for funds to clear. Also, no sensitive banking information is ever required, which would be a HUGE consideration for those that shy away from giving this info online.
As a deposit only option for Canadians, I think this is worth checking into, you might just get a new influx of Canadian players with this payment option.
Of course, for suggesting this I would require 1% commission on all transactions in perpetuity.
