Games Selection

Once you've settled on a casino or three, you'll want to see whether they've a broad enough selection of games to whet your appetite as the size and selection of the games library will vary from casino to casino.

It's important to note that not all slots providers nor distributors allow Canadians to partake in their games, whether due to exclusivity agreements with land based casinos or for other marketing and business decisions.

Some slots may appear available at first glance but disappear once logged into the casino or won't open or play due to geo-tagging of your country of residence.
For example, while you wouldn't be allowed to play the likes of Bally, BTG, IGT and WMS, you'd have access to such popular online gaming providers such as Microgaming, NetEnt, PlayNGo, Push, Pragmatic, Red Tiger, Thunderkick and many, many more..

Banking

Be sure to view the casino's banking section for available merhods of deposits and withdrawals. These might include credit cards (personal or prepaid), e-wallets and more recently available to Canadians, interac online and e-transfer.

It's important to note Canadian banks and credit cards (especially those tied to a bank) are not uniform when it comes to making gaming transactions. So while one bank or CC may allow you to deposit via one method, another may not and you may need to explore more than one merhod of depositing or withdrawing.

E-wallets are another option but again, some are available to Canadians such as EcoPayz while Skrill and Neteller are not when it comes to depositing at gaming entities.


Let's recap:

*Look for reputable casinos that have a proven track record.
*Insure the casino accepts Canadian players
*Peruse the casino library for a generous Canadian-friendly games selection
*View the banking section for deposit and withdrawal options suited to you


You're about ready to go but you'll still likely want to go in fully prepared on what to expect and what kind of gaming experience you may have in other areas.
These might include the sign-up and verification process, bonuses and poromotions, support structures and withdrawing.
