About Us

Welcome to Canadian Online Casinos, your trusted guide to the best online casino experiences available to Canadian players. We're dedicated to providing honest, comprehensive reviews and expert insights to help you make informed decisions about where to play.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to help Canadian players find safe, entertaining, and rewarding online casino experiences. We understand that the online gambling landscape can be overwhelming, with hundreds of casinos competing for your attention. That's where we come in.

We test and review every casino we recommend, evaluating them against strict criteria for safety, game quality, bonuses, customer service, and payment options. We only recommend casinos that meet our high standards and offer genuine value to Canadian players.

Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. We're upfront about how we make money (through affiliate commissions when you sign up at casinos through our links), and we never let financial relationships compromise the integrity of our reviews.

Our Story

Canadian Online Casinos was founded in 2020 by a team of passionate casino enthusiasts and industry experts who saw a need for honest, Canadian-focused casino reviews.

We noticed that most casino review sites catered to international audiences and didn't address the specific needs of Canadian players - from Interac payment options to CAD currency support to understanding Canada's unique gambling regulations.

We set out to create the definitive resource for Canadian online casino players. Today, thousands of Canadians trust us to help them find the best casinos, understand bonuses, learn gaming strategies, and play responsibly.

What Sets Us Apart

Canadian Focus

Unlike generic casino review sites, we specifically focus on what matters to Canadian players. We test Interac deposits and withdrawals, verify CAD currency support, and ensure customer service understands Canadian banking systems. Every review is written with Canadian players in mind.

Expert Reviews

Our team includes experienced casino players, industry analysts, and gambling experts with decades of combined experience. We don't just copy information from casino websites - we create accounts, make deposits, play games, and test withdrawals at every casino we review.

Independence & Honesty

We maintain editorial independence from the casinos we review. While we earn commissions from some casino partnerships, this never influences our rankings or recommendations. If a casino fails to meet our standards, we won't recommend it - regardless of potential earnings.

Player-First Approach

Your interests come first. We provide honest assessments of both pros and cons for every casino. We highlight wagering requirements, withdrawal limits, and terms that might not be obvious. We're here to help you make informed decisions, not to push you toward any particular casino.

Responsible Gambling Advocacy

We believe online gambling should be entertainment, not a financial solution. We promote responsible gambling practices, provide links to support organizations, and encourage all players to set limits and gamble within their means.

Regular Updates

The online casino industry changes rapidly. We regularly update our reviews to reflect new bonuses, game additions, policy changes, and player feedback. You can trust that our information is current and accurate.

Our Review Process

Every casino review on our site follows a rigorous testing methodology:

  1. Registration & Verification: We create real accounts and complete any verification processes to experience exactly what players go through.
  2. Deposit Testing: We make deposits using multiple payment methods, including Interac, to test processing speed and fees.
  3. Game Testing: We play a wide variety of games (slots, table games, live dealer) to evaluate quality, variety, and fairness.
  4. Bonus Evaluation: We analyze welcome bonuses and promotions, calculating actual value after wagering requirements.
  5. Customer Service: We contact support via all available channels to test response times and helpfulness.
  6. Withdrawal Testing: We request withdrawals to verify processing times and identify any issues or hidden fees.
  7. Security Check: We verify licensing, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, and privacy policies.
  8. Mobile Testing: We test mobile sites and apps on various devices to ensure smooth performance.
