The 10 Best Real Money Online Casinos in Canada

In line with global trends in the sector, the online gambling and iGaming scene in Canada has experienced significant growth in recent years.
This has been driven by a combination of factors, which includes both technological advances making high-powered mobile phones and high-speed mobile internet more accessible than ever, player-friendly regulation, and a turn away from in-person gambling during the pandemic.
As a result of this combination of trends, global online gambling revenues are at an all-time high. If recent industry reports are anything to go by, we can expect to see them reach record heights in the years to come. In America, for example, gambling revenue hit a record $53bn last year, which beat the previous record by more than 20%.
In Canada, the trends are similarly positive. Thanks to the liberalization of restrictions on the sector by provincial governments such as British Columbia and Ontario, the marketplace has seen more activity than ever.
As a result of this, we have seen record numbers of online gambling operators and online casinos setting up operations in recent months.
This means that not only is the sector more competitive than ever, but also that Canadians now have plenty of choices when it comes to platforms to choose from! For the many Canadians looking to choose a platform to trust their hard-earned cash with, however, what are the best online Canadian casinos?
1. National Casino
National Casino was set up in 2019 and offers a range of gambling services to a quickly growing userbase. National Casino has an excellent selection of games, fantastic withdrawal speeds and payment processing times, and some of the best bonuses around! Players are particularly enthusiastic about the VIP program, which provides a range of rewards you won’t be able to turn down.
2. LuckyDays Casino
If you are hoping to get lucky, why not trying LuckyDays Casino? In addition to a bright and fun aesthetic with an incredibly cute mascot, LuckDays gives players access to an excellent selection of casino games, which includes classics from leading software providers. This is in addition to lightning-fast payment processing, solid customer support and bonuses that will make you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot!
3. SpinAway Casino
If you are a fan of roulette games, SpinAway Casino might just be the platform you have been searching for all along. As their name suggests, SpinAway is a slots-focused operator with — quite literally — thousands of options to choose from. In addition, however, they also provide you with access to hundreds of other game types, including live casino games from all the top providers. The website is aesthetically pleasing, easy to use and the perfect place for beginners or advanced players to spend a few hours.
4. Jackpot Village Casino
With a number of other casinos already behind them, Jackpot Village Casino was set up a few years ago with the aim of providing an online gambling experience with a big emphasis on lightning-fast gameplay and big jackpots. But do they deliver? In short: yes! Jackpot Village is a well put together online casino that provides a solid library of games, an incredibly enticing VIP program and a welcome bonus that almost looks too good to be true.

5. Energy Casino
If the excitement of playing online casinos feels like a jolt of lightning straight to your body, Energy Casino could be the perfect casino for you! Although lacking the massive libraries of games that some of the other platforms you might have come across offer, Energy Casino has a carefully curated catalog of games from leading developers. This includes developers such as NetEnt, Microgaming and Greentube, in addition to numerous other smaller studios. It is also paired with an excellent sportsbook, which makes it the perfect one-stop-shop for all sports fanatics.
6. Lucky8 Casino
Lucky8 Casino features a solid selection of games from all the leading games providers you would expect to see, however, the lack of live casino game support might put some players off. Despite this minor omission, Lucky8 Casino delivers a solid iGaming experience all-round. It also benefits from a low minimum deposit, which means you can try it out with a relatively low financial commitment.
7. 5Gringos Casino
Don’t let the playful name fool you, 5Gringos Casino is a serious casino with a lot to offer iGaming fans of all experience levels. Some of the most enticing benefits include a unique 5-tier VIP system, a ‘choose your own bonus’ reward structure for new players and a staggering 3,000 games available to enjoy. Although 5Gringos Casino doesn’t necessarily stray too far from a familiar formula, all the basics we would expect to see are present and executed very well. We were particularly impressed by the payment processes they have in place, which allow for lightning-fast payouts.
8. Mr Green Casino
Now one of the more well-known brands in the global iGaming space, Mr Green Casino has quickly set to work delighting Canadian casino fans since setting up shop here. As you might expect from a fellow with a top hat and walking stick, Mr Green Casino delivers a well-thought out, well-executed playing experience that easily competes with even the biggest names out there. We were impressed by the game selection they have, the bonuses on offer and the international reputation they have built. Mr Green Casino is very much an online casino for those with more refined tastes.
9. Vulkan Vegas Casino
Fans of the Star Trek franchise will delight at this fan-favourite homage to the Vulkan people! First launched in the European market in 2016, Vulkan Vegas is a Cyprus-based online casino that offers a wide range of various iGaming services. This includes providing its dedicated user base with access to thousands of online casino games from the leading providers in the sector. This is in addition to solid bonuses, robust payment processes and an always helpful customer support team.
10. Casino Friday
If you are one of those perpetually fussy online casino fans that can never seem to settle on the right game to play, then Casino Friday could be just the platform for you! First launched in 2020, Casino Friday offers a mind-blowingly wide variety of games. This includes over 4,000 titles from all the leading games developers. This is in addition to a solid loyalty program, excellent usability, efficient payment processes and a flexible welcome offer.
