Casino bonuses in Canada

Most welcome offers at the casinos we list are packages spread over two to five deposits. The headline is the total of every step, so your first deposit gets you only part of it, and the later steps often match a smaller share of a bigger deposit.

Here's a made-up package of "up to C$5,000" to show how that works:

To collect the whole C$5,000 you'd deposit C$15,000, and each step carries its own wagering. Each bonus page on Casino Reach shows the real package step by step under "How it's paid", so you can see what your first deposit gets before you sign up.

Wagering is how much you must bet before bonus money turns into cash you can withdraw. The multiple matters less than what it applies to. Some offers apply it to the bonus only; others apply it to your deposit plus the bonus. Here's a C$100 first deposit with a 100% match, worked both ways:

The offer with the lower number needs half as much betting again. Both average costs are bigger than the C$100 bonus, which is normal for welcome offers: averages hold over very many bets, and a single session can go much better or worse. Our table above does this sum for every offer we list, in the "Bets to cash out" column.

• Max bet. While a bonus is active, the casinos we list cap each bet at between C$5 and C$10. A bigger bet can cost you the bonus and anything won with it.
• Time limit. Wagering has to be finished within between 3 and 60 days, depending on the casino. Divide the bets needed by the days allowed to see what that means per day.
• Cash-out cap. Some offers limit what you can withdraw from bonus winnings, as a fixed amount or a multiple of the bonus. Anything above the cap is removed when you withdraw.
• Spin winnings. Winnings from bonus spins usually carry their own wagering and their own cap, often a few hundred dollars.

A batch of spins is worth the number of spins times the stake per spin: 100 spins at C$0.20 is C$20 of play, and 200 spins at C$0.10 is also C$20. Spins often arrive in daily batches (20 a day for five days is common), and a batch you don't use in time is lost. Spins given with a deposit are part of what you paid for, so we call them bonus spins rather than free spins.

Interac e-Transfer is the deposit method Canadians use most, and it's offered at most of the casinos we list. Before you pay, check two things: that your deposit reaches the bonus minimum, and that the method counts for the offer. Some casinos exclude certain e-wallets from welcome bonuses, and the minimum for a method can be higher than the bonus minimum. Our Interac casinos guide compares limits and payout times by casino.

Most offers we list need no code. Slots Gallery, Stake, Boho Casino and Golden Star use codes, shown in the table and on each bonus page. Where a package uses a different code for each deposit, the bonus page lists them in order. A code from somewhere else won't change the offer: the terms on the casino's own site are the ones that apply.

Casino Reach covers Canada outside Ontario and Alberta. You must be 19 or older to play (18 in Manitoba and Quebec). Provincial sites run their own promotions under provincial rules. Our guide to online gambling in Canada explains how the provinces regulate it.

You don't have to take a bonus. Decline it if you want quick access to any winnings, if you can't realistically finish the wagering in time, or if you're depositing to win back a loss. Playing with your own money keeps things simple: whatever is left is yours to withdraw. If bonuses keep pulling you back, set a deposit limit with the casino or call your provincial helpline. Our gambling help page lists them all.
