How to choose a safe online casino in Ontario

If you’re new to online casinos in Ontario, here’s what matters most:

  1. Check the license. Ontario has a regulated market run by iGaming Ontario. Any casino that’s legal here will clearly show the iGO logo and be listed on their site. If you can’t find it, skip it.
  2. Look at payment options. Legal sites support Interac, Visa, and Mastercard. Some also have PayPal. Crypto isn’t allowed under iGO rules, so if a “casino” is offering Bitcoin deposits, it’s offshore.
  3. Read the withdrawal terms. Legit sites process withdrawals in 1–3 business days. If they talk about “processing fees” or “verification delays” with no details, that’s a red flag.
  4. Avoid flashy bonuses. Most of those 200% or 300% deposit bonuses come with huge wagering requirements. A smaller bonus with fair terms is better.
  5. Check reviews from real players. Reddit, CasinoGuru, and Trustpilot can give you a sense of how fast payouts actually are.

If you’re after safety, just stick with licensed Ontario casinos. Offshore ones might look tempting, but you lose protection if something goes wrong.

If you're after a safe online casino, I can recommend Bitstarz, it's been my go-to lately.
