Betsquare Canada in numbers

Updated: June 2026

These figures come from our internal casino review database, live test accounts and editorial update logs. Every recommended casino is scored against the same framework before it appears in our Canadian rankings.

Our values

What Betsquare Canada stands for

Four principles that shape every review, guide and recommendation we publish for Canadian players.

Independent

Casinos can never buy a ranking position. Affiliate commissions never influence our scores or recommendations.

Research-led

Every recommendation is based on hands-on testing, real Interac deposits and 50+ assessment criteria per Canadian casino.

Double fact-checked

One specialist writes, a second expert verifies. Only fully verified content goes live on Betsquare Canada.

Responsible

We reference support resources from ConnexOntario and the Responsible Gambling Council, and include safer-gambling guidance across every Canadian casino guide.

Our story

Who we are and what drives us

From the very first idea to today's editorial team, this is what Betsquare Canada is built on.

01 / 07

Why Betsquare Canada exists

The Canadian online casino market is split between AGCO-regulated brands in Ontario, provincial lottery platforms and a wide offshore market. For players, sorting genuine value from clever marketing is almost impossible without help, which is why we built our Canadian casino rankings.

Betsquare Canada exists to fix that. We combine years of iGaming experience with a strict editorial process to give Canadian players one trusted place to compare licensed casinos, understand bonus terms and play safely. Start with our offshore casinos Canada guide if you want to see how we structure each review.

Every recommendation on this site is the outcome of real testing by real people, not a press release rewritten as a review.

02 / 07

Always the strongest Canadian offers

We continuously monitor welcome bonuses, free spins, cashback offers and loyalty programmes across the Canadian market. When a better, safer or fairer offer launches, our top Canadian casinos list reflects it within days, not months.

For Ontario players we prioritise AGCO and iGaming Ontario licensed operators. For the rest of Canada we explain the trade-offs of offshore play, including dispute routes, KYC and payment reliability.

03 / 07

Our mission

Betsquare Canada is built around a single mission: help Canadian players make better, safer decisions about where they play. That means clear bonus breakdowns, honest scoring and complete transparency about how we make money.

We explain how Canadian payment methods work, from Interac e-Transfer and iDebit to crypto and prepaid cards, and how provincial regulation affects the casinos you choose.

04 / 07

Variety, depth and freshness

The Canadian iGaming market never stands still. New slot releases, casino launches, regulatory updates and bonus structures change every week. Our editorial team is dedicated to staying on top of those changes so our readers don't have to.

Alongside casino reviews you'll find in-depth payment method guides, slot reviews, calculator tools and safer-gambling resources, all tailored to Canadian players.

05 / 07

Choosing the right game

From classic favourites like roulette and blackjack to the latest Megaways slots, the choice of casino games can be overwhelming. We explain the rules, RTPs, volatility and house edges so you can pick games that match your budget and play style.

Most slots and many table games can be tried in demo mode. We always recommend playing for free first, getting comfortable with the mechanics, and only depositing real money at one of our trusted Canadian casinos when you are confident in your bankroll plan.

06 / 07

Safer gambling first

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. We promote deposit limits, reality checks, time-outs and self-exclusion via PlaySmart across every guide, and we tell you when a casino's responsible-gambling tools fall short.

If gambling is causing harm to you or someone close to you, free, confidential support is available 24/7 from ConnexOntario on 1-866-531-2600 and via equivalent provincial helplines.

07 / 07

Trust, security and privacy

On Ontario-specific pages we prioritise operators licensed by AGCO and registered with iGaming Ontario. On Canada-wide pages, we clearly separate locally regulated operators, provincial platforms and offshore casino sites so players know exactly which framework applies.

If you ever experience an issue with a casino we recommend, contact their support first. If that doesn't resolve it, get in touch with us and we'll help you escalate to the right dispute body.

Methodology

How we review Canadian online casinos

Every casino goes through the same rigorous process, usually two to three weeks per review, with our own deposits and our own test accounts.

Research

Our experts open accounts, deposit real CAD via Interac and test the full game library, bonus terms and withdrawal speed at every Canadian-facing operator.

Score

We rate each casino on 50+ criteria, from Interac support to AGCO/iGaming Ontario compliance. Only sites scoring 7/10 or higher are recommended.

Verify

A second editor fact-checks every claim, figure and bonus condition before any review or guide is published.

Update

Our team monitors AGCO licence changes, bonus updates and provincial regulation every week and refreshes our content accordingly.

Scoring breakdown

The 50+ individual checks roll up into seven weighted categories. The same weighting applies to every Canadian casino we score.

  • Safety & licence visibility25%
  • Payments & withdrawals20%
  • Bonus fairness15%
  • Game quality15%
  • Mobile UX10%
  • Support response10%
  • Responsible gambling tools5%

When we update a review

We monitor every recommended casino weekly. A review is rewritten or re-scored whenever any of the following changes:

  • Welcome bonus or promotion terms change
  • A payment method is added or removed
  • Withdrawal times shift meaningfully
  • AGCO or iGaming Ontario status changes
  • New player complaints appear
  • Support, KYC or responsible-gambling policies change

How Betsquare makes money

Betsquare may earn a commission when readers click from our site to a casino and create an account. This does not change the price for players and does not allow casinos to buy higher rankings. Our editorial team scores casinos using fixed criteria, and commercial relationships are reviewed separately from editorial testing.

Where a brand has a commercial agreement with us, the link is labelled as sponsored. The presence or absence of a commercial deal never moves a casino up or down our rankings.

What we do not do

  • Sell ranking positions

    Rankings stay editorially controlled

  • Recommend casinos below our minimum score

    Protects quality of every list

  • Hide bonus restrictions

    Players see wagering, max bet and cashout caps

  • Call offshore casinos locally regulated

    Avoids misleading legal claims

  • Promote gambling as income

    Keeps responsible gambling central

Player support

If you have a casino complaint

A clear escalation path saves time and protects your funds. Work through the steps in order, and contact our editors at the end if the casino is listed on Betsquare Canada.

Support options can vary by province. If you are outside Ontario, check your provincial gambling support service for local helplines and self-exclusion programmes.

  1. 1

    Contact the casino support team first and ask for a written response.

  2. 2

    Save screenshots of your balance, bonus terms, chat transcripts and transaction IDs.

  3. 3

    Complete any reasonable KYC request the casino has open.

  4. 4

    Contact the relevant regulator or independent dispute body (AGCO for Ontario; the licensing authority listed in the casino footer for offshore brands).

  5. 5

    Send Betsquare the details if the casino is listed on our site so we can review its ranking.
