How to Start Playing in Ontario (3 Simple Steps)

Getting started at a licensed Ontario casino takes only a few minutes.

Pick a Licensed Casino

Browse our curated list of AGCO-registered operators. Each casino is vetted for:

  • Game variety
  • Bonus fairness
  • Payment speed
  • Mobile performance
  • Customer support

Create Your Account

Registration requires basic details (email, phone number, legal name). You must be 19+, and all operators perform a quick ID check using government-issued identification.

Make Your First Deposit

Choose a secure payment method like Interac e-Transfer, credit/debit card, or PayPal. Your welcome bonus activates automatically after your first deposit.

Pro Tip: Try a few slots in demo mode first. It's the easiest way to learn the mechanics before betting real money.

Winner: Interac e-Transfer

Trusted, fast, and supported by every Canadian bank—over 80% of Ontario players use Interac as their primary method. It works directly from your bank account with no middleman, and casinos process it faster than any other option.

Why Interac dominates in Ontario:

  • Works with all major Canadian banks (TD, RBC, Scotiabank, BMO, CIBC, etc.)
  • No need to share card numbers with casinos
  • Instant deposits, predictable withdrawals
  • Banks rarely block gambling transactions via Interac (unlike credit cards)

Common payment questions:

💳 "My credit card was declined—what now?"
Some Canadian banks block gambling transactions on credit cards. Switch to Interac e-Transfer or try a different card. Visa Debit usually works even when credit cards don't.

⏰ "Why is my first withdrawal taking longer?"
First-time withdrawals require identity verification (driver's license, utility bill). This adds 24-48 hours but only happens once. After that, withdrawals are much faster.

💰 "Are there minimum or maximum amounts?"
Typical limits: $10-20 minimum deposit, $10-50 minimum withdrawal. Maximum deposits vary by casino ($5,000-10,000 per transaction is common). VIP players can request higher limits.

🔄 "Can I withdraw to a different method than I deposited?"
Usually no—casinos require withdrawals to match deposit methods for security reasons. If you deposit with Interac, you'll withdraw via Interac.

All transactions are processed in Canadian dollars (CAD) with no hidden conversion fees or surprises.

Responsible Gaming in Ontario

Ontario's licensed casinos are designed to keep gambling fun and under control. Every operator must provide tools that help you manage your play—and they're built right into your account, not hidden away.


Here's what's available to every player:

ToolWhat It DoesBest Used When
Deposit Limits
Sets a cap on daily/weekly/monthly deposits
You want to stick to a budget
Time Limits
Automatically logs you out after a set time
You tend to play longer than planned
Loss Limits
Restricts how much you can lose in a period
You want to protect your bankroll
Reality Checks
Pop-up reminders showing time spent & results
You want regular progress updates
Self-Exclusion
Blocks access temporarily or permanently
You need a break or want to stop
Session History
Full record of bets, wins, and losses
You want to track play patterns

Important: These limits are instant and cannot be overridden. If you set a $100 weekly deposit limit, the system won't allow $101—even if you change your mind. This is by design to protect you from impulsive decisions.

When Gambling Stops Being Fun

Gambling should always be entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's time to take action:

  • Spending more money or time than you planned
  • Chasing losses or gambling to win back what you lost
  • Borrowing money to gamble or hiding gambling from others
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or stressed about gambling
  • Gambling affects work, relationships, or daily responsibilities
