Who we are

Best Online Casinos Canada ranks offshore casinos that accept Canadian players, and explains what accepting a Canadian player offshore actually means. It is written by Aveline Doucette, who spent six years in payments operations before moving to editorial work.

The site starts from the cashier rather than the bonus, because the headline percentage is the least informative number an operator publishes. The wagering multiple attached to it, the minimum deposit, the currency it is denominated in and the rails money can leave on are what decide how much a player keeps.

How the ranking is built

The order is commercial. These are the operators this site holds affiliate arrangements with, and the ranking reflects those arrangements. Saying so plainly is the only way a reader can judge the list.

The figures are not commercial. Every bonus, wagering multiple, bonus code and minimum deposit comes from the operator's own published terms by way of a maintained per-brand feed that carries the date each row was last checked. Where an operator publishes nothing, the row says so. Three of the fifteen are in that position.

Nothing is scored. There are no ratings out of ten, no star counts and no payout times on this site, because none of those were measured. An invented safety score is the most damaging thing a page like this can carry.

What we will not do

We will not publish a payout time we did not measure, convert an operator's euro offer into a Canadian figure it has not committed to, or describe an offshore operator as regulated in Canada. Every site listed here is licensed outside Canada and sits outside iGaming Ontario and every provincial scheme.
