How we rate crypto casinos

Every casino on this site gets the same seven checks. Each check is scored from 0 to 10, and the overall score is their plain average, rounded to one decimal. No check is weighted in secret and no casino pays for a score.

The scale is relative

For each check, the best result we find among crypto casinos open to Canadian players scores 10, and the others are placed against it. That keeps the numbers honest in both directions: a 10 means “nothing better among the casinos we checked”, not “perfect”. When a casino improves its cashier, everyone else is re-read against it.

The seven checks

1. Takes Canadians

We read the casino’s restricted-country list and quote the Canada lines word for word. A casino that accepts players everywhere in Canada except Ontario scores higher than one that also excludes other provinces. A casino that excludes Canada entirely doesn’t get a button at all.

2. Coins and networks

How many coins the cashier takes, and on which networks. USDT on TRON and USDT on Ethereum count as two options, because the network changes the fee you pay.

3. Casino fee on withdrawal

What the casino itself deducts when you cash out, per its fee table or help centre. The network fee is reported separately on every page: it depends on the blockchain, not on the casino.

4. Stated payout time

The processing time the casino states in its terms or help centre. When we run a timed withdrawal from a Canadian wallet, the measured time replaces the stated one and the page says so, with the transaction ID.

5. KYC trigger

When the terms say you’ll be asked for ID: at signup, above a withdrawal threshold, or “at any time”. A clear, published threshold scores higher than a clause that leaves it open.

The licence line printed in the casino’s own footer or terms, quoted as printed. We check that the licence number and the licensing body are named. None of these casinos holds a Canadian licence, and every page says so.

7. Bonus terms

Wagering requirement, maximum bet while wagering, time limit and any cap on winnings from the bonus. Lower wagering and no cap score higher. A casino that publishes its bonus terms in full scores higher than one that shows them only after signup.

What doesn’t change a score

Commission. Some casinos pay us when a reader opens an account through our links. That doesn’t move a score or the order. See the affiliate disclosure.
Bonus size. A bigger headline bonus with 60x wagering scores lower than a small one with 10x.
Game count. A lobby of 5,000 slots doesn’t change what happens at the cashier.

When scores are re-read

Every page shows the date its figures were last checked. Terms, fees and bonus rules are re-read at least every six weeks, and straight away when a reader reports a change. Corrections go to hello@coincasinoscanada.com.
