List of Payment Methods Used at Canadian Online Casinos

Credit and Debit Card Payments

The widely used payment method for online casino transactions is a credit/debit card. It was one of the first payment options to feature at online casinos and many Canadians have at least one payment card from Visa or Mastercard. Registering the card involves entering the 16-digit number, expiry date, and the security code. Your details are encrypted by the casino and the payment provider, which helps to protect your personal and financial information.

Once you've made your first deposit, you can return to the operator and make additional deposits if the casino supports storing card details. Just keep in mind that you'll need to provide the security code every time you make a new deposit. You can also request withdrawals to your debit/credit card at casinos that support this option, but Canadian banks may limit or decline gambling related withdrawals.

•

Visa cards in Canada can be used for withdrawals at casinos that support the option. Withdrawal processing may take between 3 to 5 working days, depending on the casino's and bank's procedures. Some operator's may apply a small transaction fee.

  Mastercard

  Mastercard is a banking method used by many online casino players in Canada. It's a commonly used payment solution for online and offline transactions.

Withdrawal times vary and may take between 3 to 5 working days depending on the casino's processing and the bank's procedures. Not all online casinos offer Mastercard as a withdrawal option which means you'll need to verify this before requesting a payout.

Prepaid Cards

Prepaid cards are used at regulated casinos in Canada. Even though they are not yet as widely used as credit/debit cards, they do function in a similar manner. Prepaid cards feature a 16-digit code that you'll need to enter to fund your account. Unlike debit/credit cards, you don't enter banking details at the casino, although standard verification requirements still apply.

Obtaining a prepaid card typically involves purchasing one at a post office, bank or grocery store that sells them. You choose the amount you want to load on your prepaid card before entering the code at an online casino that accepts this method.

The prepaid card options in Canada include Paysafecard and Neosurf. You'll also notice that several banks and financial institutions offer their own prepaid cards, including Mastercard, Visa, CIBC Smart, Vanilla, and BMO. In most cases, You can't request withdrawals and there might be additional fees when using them to make deposits.

• 

  Paysafecard

  Paysafe has provided prepaid voucher services since 2000 and is used at a range of online casinos in Canada. Players fund their account by entering the voucher number at casinos that accept this payment method. Paysafe vouchers are available at many retail outlets worldwide, including gas stations and supermarkets, as listed on the Paysafe website.

  Each card, with a value ranging from $10.00 to $100.00, provides a unique 16-digit pin that you can enter into the casino's payment section. While Paysafecard is predominantly a deposit method, some operators allow withdrawals through MyPaysafecard accounts. You will need to create a My Paysafecard account and provide your account details within the cashier section to request a withdrawal. Deposits are typically processed immediately and fees depend on the casino. Withdrawals may take up to 48 hours depending on the casino and the provider.

• 

  Neosurf

  Neosurf is a prepaid card payment service available to Canadian players. First launched in France in 2004, Neosurf has grown over the years and is now available in several countries around the world, including Canada, China, Europe, and Africa. Neosurf works very similarly to Paysafecard where players can purchase a prepaid voucher, either at a physical location or online, and use the 10-digit code to make online casino deposits. You don't provide banking details with this method, but standard casino verification requirements apply.

  Apart from Neosurf vouchers, the company also provides other services, including Neosurf Minor cards designed for kids, and a Neocash card which is basically a prepaid Mastercard that you can top-up with Neosurf vouchers. Players in Canada can use this prepaid voucher to make deposits that are typically processed immediately. Fees are dependent on the operator. You cannot use Neosurf to withdraw your winnings. You will need to choose an alternative method to make a successful withdrawal.

• Uses established security measures
• Available at many online casinos
• Lower limits compared to other payment options

E-Wallets

Electronic wallets, or E-wallets are widely used in the online gambling industry. PayPal was one of the early online payment platforms to offer an e-wallet service. Many providers have introduced e-wallets since then. E-wallets are a functional option for online players in Canada. The wallet essentially acts as an intermediary between your bank account and the gambling site.

Similar to prepaid cards, you can transfer amounts that are supported by your E-wallet provider. Once you've used up all your available funds, you can add more money through your bank account or credit/debit card. E-wallets offer fraud protection and dispute processes provided by the payment provider, while acting as an intermediary between your bank and the casino. E-wallets may support shorter withdrawal processing times. Fees depend on the casino and the provider.

• 

  PayPal

  PayPal has been providing its products and services for more than 20 years. The company introduced its e-wallet feature as part of its onlinepayment services. This allows users to transfer funds between their debit/credit cards, bank accounts, and PayPal accounts. PayPal is widely supported as a payment option across many online retailers.

  PayPal is not widely available at online casinos in Canada due to the company's safety and compliance requirements. PayPal may be accepted at AGCO regulated casinos in Ontario. Online operators need to meet the strict safety standards of PayPal before they can offer the e-wallet option on their site. This basically means that if PayPal is an option, the online casino is meeting PayPal's compliance requirements.

  Deposits are often instant and withdrawals may take up to 48 hours, depending on the casino. Please keep in mind that some online casinos may charge fees when withdrawing through PayPal.

• 

  Instadebit

  Instadebit was established during the rapid expansion of the online payment industry during the early 2010s. The payment platform was primarily focused on e-commerce and aimed to provide a convenient way for Canadian consumers to transact online. This led to the creation of the Instadebit E-wallet. This bank-based payment solution functions as an intermediary between an online merchant and the consumer.

  Users provide their banking details when registering, and Instadebit processes transactions through its platform. This method is available at online casinos that support Instadebit. The service follows financial and security standards. Instadebit offers 24/7 customer support. It's worth mentioning that Instadebit will take a $1.95 fee for every transaction that comes from your bank account. Deposited funds usually appear instantly, but withdrawals may take up to 48 hours, depending on the casino.

• 

  EcoPayz

  Much like Neteller and Skrill, EcoPayz provides a wide variety of financial tools to its users. The E-wallet option from EcoPayz is just one of the payment methods available at online casinos as they also feature connectivity with Interac and other financial services along with a prepaid Mastercard. While EcoPayz is predominantly a European financial service, it is available in multiple countries and supports various currencies.

  EcoPayz was established in 2000 and offers digital wallet services. Fees and processing speeds are set the by the provider and the casino. This means EcoPayz supports instant deposits, but withdrawals may take up to 48 hours, depending on the casino. While some operators don't charge fees for EcoPayz deposits or withdrawals, you may find charges are applied when sending money from your EcoPayz account to your credit/debit cards and bank account.

• May involve lower fees than some traditional banking methods, depending on the operator.
• Deposit may be near instant, withdrawal may take up to 48 hours, depending on the casino.

Bank Transfers For Deposits and Withdrawals

Bank transfer is a way to send money between bank accounts, either online or in person. Most banks offer transfer services. This may include fees set by the bank. Bank transfers are used less frequently for online transaction due ot the availability of other payment methods that support instant deposits, with fees depending on the provider.

A bank transfer may allow higher value deposits in a single transaction at casinos that support this method. Deposits are usually not instant, and some banks may charge processing fees. You can also use bank transfer to make withdrawals, although processing may take 5 to 10 working days, depending on the bank and the casino.

If you wish to use bank transfers, our casino reviews outline operator specific deposit and withdrawal policies.

• 

  Interac

  Interac is an established Canadian bank network that allows you to transfer money to merchants or individuals. Some offshore online casinos support it depending on their payment options. Interac provides two ways to send an online payment: Interac e-Transfer and Interac Online. Interac e-Transfer gives you the ability to send money to a specific e-mail address using the online system of your bank, while Interac Online will function as a payment gateway where you'll log in with your bank account details to transfer money directly through the payment gateway interface.

  Interac deposits are usually processed instantly or within around 30 minutes, depending on the casino. Interac withdrawals may take 4 to 6 working days, depending on the casino's processing times and verification steps. This will vary from one site to the next. Some casinos may charge a $1.50 fee per Interac transaction, depending on their policies.

• 

  eCheck

  If safety is a priority, eCheck is one of the payment methods offered by some online casinos. Deposits via eCheck are known as ACH payments and this essentially means that the funds go through an Automated Clearing House (ACH) security check before it's approved. While your check is being processed, the bank verifies the transaction details before approval. This process adds a verificaton step, but players should check the casino's licensing information themselves.

  Deposits via eCheck are not instant and may take a couple of days depending on the bank's processing times. Some casinos that support eCheck also allow withdrawals. Withdrawals may take 3 to 5 working days depending on the bank and the casino. Some operators don't charge fees for using eCheck, but this varies.

• 

  Wire Transfer

  Wire transfers are a commonly used method for deposits and withdrawals at online casinos. This payment method has been around for decades and allows Canadian players to send an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) from one bank to another. Wire transfers may support higher deposit and withdrawal limits, depending on the casino. Wire transfers are often processed within 24 hours, depending on the banks involved. However deposits may take 2 to 3 days to appear depending on the bank's processing times.

  The processing of withdrawals may take 3 to 15 working days. This depends on the bank and the casino's verification checks. There are also transaction fees set by the banks, as with many bank transfer options in Canada.

Bank Transfer Pros and Cons

• Supports higher deposit and withdrawal limits at some casinos
• Widely accepted by online casinos
• Straightforward to use
• No third-party software to download
• Slower than most payment methods with additional fees
• Must have a bank account

Crypto Payments

Crypto is a digital form of currency that utilizes a specific series of codes (cryptography) to secure payments without the necessity of a central authority. Cryptocurrency transactions are often processed quickly, but exact time depends on the casino and the blockchain conditions. With efficient processing times and provider specific fees, cryptocurrencies offer an alternative to other casino payment methods.

Some crypto transactions offer additional privacy at the payment stage, but operators still require verification before withdrawals. Some operators support higher transaction limits for certain cryptocurrencies. With that in mind, let's look at some of the most popular cryptocurrencies in Canada below.

• 

  Bitcoin

  Bitcoin was one of the first cryptocurrencies introduced online and it is used for digital transactions, including payments at some online casinos. In 2011, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was on par with the U.S Dollar, and by 2021 it reached a price of more than $65.000 for a single Bitcoin. Although bitcoin transactons may be processed quickly, and the blockchain provides security features, casinos still require verification before withdrawals.

  There are drawbacks to using this cryptocurrency at online casinos that support Bitcoin. The biggest disadvantage is how it fluctuates due to macroeconomic factors, media-driven hype and supply and demand. Players should be aware of this risk of volatility. Bitcoin is supported by some offshore casinos and they may offer higher deposit and withdrawal limits. They use blockchain based security features.

• 

  Ethereum

  Ethereum is one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies alongside bitcoin. It si a commonly used digital payment option at some offshore operators. Online transactions with Ethereum (ETH) may process faster than Bitcoin depending on the blockchain conditions. However, this doesn't guarantee that deposits will appear faster at casinos that accept Ethereum, as timing depends on the operator.

  Ethereum pricing can fluctuate and some transactions offer additional privacy during the payment stage. Casinos will still require verification. Both deposits and withdrawals can be processed without delay depending on the blockchain activity and the casino's procedures. The only downside is that it doesn't benefit from strict regulation.

• 

  Other Crypto - Litecoin, Tether and more

  There are more than two cryptocurrencies you can use when it comes to online gambling and most of them provide similar functionalities when compared to the big two. As Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most recognized, they are more commonly support at offshore operators than other tokens. However, these two are the most expensive to purchase as they are more in demand. Other cryptocurrencies include Litecoin, Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Dogecoin, or Avalanche. Each has different pricing and availability. Some operators support these cryptocurrencies and may offer higher transaction limits, but verification is still required prior to withdrawal.

Cryptocurrency Pros and Cons

• Extra security and greater privacy at the payment stage
• Fast processing with fees dependent on the operator and blockchain network
• Flexible payment limits
• Promotions and bonuses depend on casino policies
• Volatile prices
• Not widely available at online casinos

Alternative Payment Methods

There are some efficient and quick payment methods available to online players in Canada. Methods that support instant deposits and shorter withdrawal processing are commonly used, but fees are set by the casino. While credit/debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and cryptocurrencies are widely used, there are alternative payment methods offered at some casinos. Below, we've included some alternative payment platforms that certain offshore operators support for deposits or withdrawals

• 

  Apple Pay

  Apple is a well known global technology company. In 2015, the company launched ApplePay, a contactless mobile payment service for online and in-stroe transactions. Some operators don't add fees to Apple Pay deposits, but this varies, and you can use Touch-ID for authentication. Deposits are often instant but withdrawals are not supported. Players will also need an Apple phone or device to make use of the service as this is not available on Android platforms.

• 

  Google Pay

  Google Pay, initially released as Android Pay, was primarily used as a payment platform for Android devices. In 2018, Google Pay was established as part of the company's rebranding efforts. The payment method works as an online payment tool and a digital wallet. This allows users to make transactions on supported sites. Google Pay is available in multiple countries including Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Some offshore casinos support Google Pay deposits, but this depends on their payment options. Some operators don't charge fees on Google Pay deposits, which are usually processed instantly, but withdrawals are not supported.

• 

  Klarna

  Klarna allows users to make online payments directly to merchants and provides a pay-after-delivery option. The pay-after-delivery option is not available for casino deposits. The Swedish company was established in 2005 with the aim to make it easier for users to shop online. The registration process is straightforward and Klarna uses security measures to process payments. When it comes to online gambling, Klarna essentially acts as an intermediary between the casino and your bank account. Some casinos that support Klarna also allow withdrawals through compatible methods. Additional fees may apply and withdrawals may take a couple of days depending on the casino.

• 

  Trustly

  Previously known as InstantBank, Trustly was established in Stockholm, Sweden in 2008. Trustly's objective is to facilitate faster online bank payments. The payment method is supervised and authorized by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, offering its products and services various regions including Canada, depending on the provider support. Some casinos that accept Trustly allow instant or near-instant deposits. Withdrawals may be processed more quickly, but this depends on the operator. Some casinos don't charge fees for Trustly payments, but this varies. Many casinos don't allow Trustly withdrawals, so it's important to check the casino's payment policy before using this method.

For example, some operators may offer an additional bonus percentage when PayPal is used for an initial deposit, depending on their terms. These offers, when available, are subject to the casino's promotional rules. We provide information on payment-specific bonuses available at online casinos for Canada, focusing on those with clearly stated terms and conditions.

Deposit Problems

While making real money deposits is generally straightforward, there are various issues that can occur when funding a casino account.

Withdrawal Topics for Real Money Online Casinos in 2026

It should come as no surprise that withdrawals at real money casinos in Canada are more complicated when compared to casino deposits. In the following section, we'll discuss the most common withdrawal topics that players may encounter. This includes processing times, limits, and pending periods. We also outline cashout issues that may affect withdrawal processing.

Instant Withdrawal

Receiving withdrawals without long delays is preferred by many players. This is why faster withdrawals are commonly requested by players. Some payment methods may support near-instant withdrawals, depending on the operator. Availability varies across casinos. We review withdrawal information provided by casinos, including whether they support faster processing.

Fast Withdrawal

While instant withdrawals are less common, some casinos advertise faster processing time for eligible withdrawal methods. Depending on the payment method and the casino, some withdrawals may be processed quicker than others. Processing times vary by payment method and operator, so it's important to review each casino's withdrawal policy.

Withdrawal Limits

Most gambling sites will place a limit on how much you can withdraw within a certain time frame. For example, some casinos set weekly withdrawal limits around $4,000 or monthly limits around $20,000, while others may set different caps. We review each operator's withdrawal limits to provide information on their policies for Canadian players. It's worth reviewing the terms and conditions yourself to understand the withdrawal limits on your favourite operator before playing for real money.

Withdrawal Pending Times

A pending period for withdrawals often ranges between 24 and 48 hours, depending on the casino. Some operators allow withdrawals to be reversed during the pending period, depending on their policies. This is a feature at online casinos but can also be a disadvantage if you want to receive your winnings as quickly as possible.

Other Withdrawal Problems

Now that the main withdrawal topics have been outlined, here are some of the most common withdrawal problems that players may encounter at online casinos in Canada.

• Long Pending Period: Pending periods often last around 24 hours before withdrawals are sent for processing, depending on the operator. However, some operators may extend pending periods, which prolongs the time before a withdrawal is processed. This can range from 48 to 72 hours, depending on the operator. Players should review operator withdrawal policies carefully, especially if shorter processing times are important to them.
• Slow Payout Speeds: Some casinos advertise faster withdrawal processing. However, some sites may take up to 72 hours to process withdrawal requests. You will then also need to wait for your payment method to process your winnings. This means the total time may extend to a week or more, depending on the payment method and banking procedures. It is helpful to review withdrawal processing information before registering with an operator.
• No Payment (Ghost Casinos): A significant issue can occur when withdrawals are not processed by an operator. There are unregulated casinos that may not process withdrawals. To reduce financial risk, it is important to check that an operator is licensed and regulated. We focus on providing information about established, licensed operators, that publish clear withdrawal policies.
• Cashout Denials: Every online operator will have a list of conditions you'll need to meet before a cashout is processed. Some operators may apply stricter conditions, and withdrawals may not be processed if account verification or terms are not met. Online casinos can deny cashouts if you are suspected of fraud, cheating, or laundering. An operator can also deny payment if you don't provide official documents to verify your account.

Casino-Specific Withdrawal Help

If you experience withdrawal issues, most casinos provide support tools and services to help resolve them. Available options include checking the FAQ section, contacting customer support, reviewing the status of your cashout, and ensuring all required terms and verification steps have been completed. If issues persist, you can contact the relevant regulatory authority, depending on the casino's licensing jurisdiction.

Other Important Information

Apart from the information we've provided above, there are other important factors to keep in mind when withdrawing funds at real money online casinos. Players in Canada need to ensure all wagering requirements have been fulfilled before requesting a cashout. Once the withdrawal is requested, check with customer support whether manual flushing is available. This may remove the pending period and may shorten the overall processing time, depending on the operator. You will also need to evaluate the fine print or check with support whether there are any additional fees or charges on withdrawals. Lastly, don't forget about the documents you'll need to provide to verify your account. Below, we included general information about the KYC procedure.

Casino Account Verification and KYC Procedure

Most licensed casinos require players to verify their account details before making real money online casino payments, either during registration or when requesting a first withdrawal. This is known as the KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure for Canadian players. Gambling sites will request certain documents, including a copy of your ID, Passport or Driver's License, a recent Utility Bill, and limited card details if a payment card is used. Below, we included additional information that pertains to the KYC procedure.

Legal Age

The legal gambling age in Canada will vary, depending on the province or territory where you are situated. Online gambling in Canada is regulated by territorial and provincial governments and the legal gambling age will range from 18 to 19. It is important to check the legal gambling age in your province or territory, as this is a requirement of the KYC procedure. If you are not of legal age, you will not be able to register and play online.

Legit Credit Cards

Online casinos not only require that you verify your identity but will also need you to verify the manner in which you'll make online transactions. This is especially important when using debit/credit cards on your account. Casinos require masked card images, not full unmasked copies. This is achieved by ensuring your name on the card matches the personal information on your account.

Faster Withdrawals

Once your documentation is approved and your account is verified, future withdrawals may be processed more quickly, depending on the operator. Initial withdrawals may take longer because KYC checks must be completed. Some players choose to submit verification documents during registration so that withdrawal processing is not delayed later.

Security & Safety of Banking Related Transactions

The most important factor for online players in Canada is the safety and security measures embedded within online casinos to protect their personal and financial information. If your financial or personal information is compromised, it can lead to fraud, identity theft and loss of finances. There are a wide variety of security measures in place at casinos in Canada to help protect player information. Below, we included some of the security measures commonly used by online casinos.

128-bit SSL Encryption

An SSL certificate helps protect your privacy by encrypting data between you and the online casino. This reduces the risk of third parties obtaining, stealing, or tampering with your data in transit. This security measure is used to help safeguard sensitive player data, including passwords and payment information. The 128-bit describes the length of the symmetric key that is used for encryption purposes. The higher the key length is, the more difficult it becomes for a hacker to crack it. The only way to break the key is through trial and error. So, if you are dealing with 128-bit encryption, there are basically 2128 possible combinations and that is a massive number.

RSA public/Private Key Encryption

Under RSA encryption, also referred to as asymmetric encryption, messages will be encrypted with a special code known as a public key that can be shared openly. Once the message is encrypted by a public key, you will only be able to decrypt the message by using another key, also referred to as a private key. This is usually implemented at online casinos to work alongside SSL encryption and add an extra layer of data protection.

KYC Document Upload (Not Email)

When online casinos first burst onto the scene, you could only fax or email your documents to verify your account. However, as the online gaming industry evolved, gambling sites made it easier for players to provide their documents thanks to the document upload feature. The KYC document upload feature allows you to upload your documents directly on the casino site. This means the verification process may be completed more quickly, and there's no need to send documents by email. Sending documents by email can involve file size limitations, and delivery may be less reliable. Many players prefer using the KYC document upload feature because it centralises verification on the casino platform.

Avoid Bad Brand Reputation & Casino Blacklists

Although there are thousands of real money online casinos available to Canadian players, it's worth keeping in mind that not all of them operate to the same standards. There are hundreds of operators that are not licensed or regulated, which can result in unclear dispute processes, inconsistent software oversight, and unreliable payout practices. These gambling sites often develop poor reputations in the industry and are referred to as blacklisted casinos. We provide information about licensed brands and also highlight unregulated operators so that readers are aware of potential risks. Apart from the points mentioned above, we also listed some of the significant impacts that unregulated casinos may have on payments in Canada.

Long Pending Period

Online casinos often feature a pending period of between 12 and 24 hours. Some casinos allow players to request a manual flush by contacting customer support. As mentioned earlier, some operators allow withdrawals to be reversed during the pending period, depending on their policies. However, at unregulated sites, pending periods may extend to between 48 and 72 hours. Some unregulated operators extend pending periods, which can significantly delay withdrawal processing. Many unregulated sites do not offer a manual flush feature, which can limit options to speed up withdrawal processing.

Slow Payout Speeds

Apart from longer pending periods, players may also experience slower payout speeds at unregulated operators. These operators may fail to process withdrawals reliably, due to the lack of regulatory oversight. Even when using established payment methods, withdrawals at unregulated sites may take days or weeks to process. Contacting customer support may not resolve delays at unregulated operators because they are not subject to required service standards.

No Payment & Cash Out Denials

A significant issue reported at some unregulated online casinos is non-payment of withdrawals. These sites may not follow standard verification procedures, and some players report cash-out denials or non-payment. Seeing as these operators are not licensed or regulated, there is no regulatory body or gaming commission you can contact to escalate the issue. To reduce risk, it is important to check that a casino is licensed and regulated before depositing.

Trusted Best Online Casinos in Canada For Payments

At Online-Casinos.ca, we provide information and reviews based on licensing, payments, and safety criteria. However, before selecting any real money casino, it is helpful to review the fine print and evaluate the payments section. Below, we included some of the most important factors to consider when reviewing payment options.

If an online casino is known for long processing times, it may be worth reviewing alternative operators with clearer withdrawal policies. Our payment information focuses on operators that publish clear withdrawal timeframes.
• High Cashout Limits: High stakes players may want to check whether the gaming platform provides higher withdrawal limits. Some operators set monthly withdrawal limits, such as $4,000 per month. It can be helpful to review the terms and conditions or contact support to confirm cashout limits.
• Safety and Anonymity: The most important element when it comes to real money casinos in Canada is the safety and security measures embedded within the software. Look for operators that use current SSL encryption protocols and offer payment options that provide reduced sharing of personal financial details, such as certain cryptocurrencies or prepaid cards.

  While payment options like credit/debit cards take between 3 to 5 working days, and e-wallets up to 48 hours, withdrawals may be processed more quickly with certain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin, depending on the operator's processing procedures.

• How do I cashout my winnings?

  Once you have cleared the wagering requirements, you can go to the cashier section and select the withdrawal option. You will then need to enter the amount you wish to remove from your account and provide the payment method where the funds should go.

• Which is better, e-wallet or credit or debit card?

  E-wallets often provide faster withdrawals and lower fees, while credit/debit cards are widely supported; the better option will depend on your preferences. E-wallets typically support quicker withdrawals and lower fees, and can offer more control over spending limits.

• Do I have to deposit and withdraw using the same payment method?

  No. You can choose how you want to make online casino payments and how you want to receive and keep your winnings. However, if you use debit/credit cards, many platforms automatically return withdrawals to the same method, in line with standard payment-provider rules.

• Does my location affect my casino payment method choices?

  Yes. Depending on the country you are located, some online casino payment options will not be supported. Therefore, it can be helpful to review the cashier section to see which options are available in your location.
