About PlayExpert
Last updated
PlayExpert is an independent Canadian site that reviews and scores online casinos for Canadian players. We compare payout speed, games, mobile play and support, date every fact we check, and explain the gambling rules in each province and territory.
What this is for
Choosing an online casino in Canada means comparing offers, payout times and terms written to sell a sign-up, under rules that change from one province to the next. A straightforward question — which of these casinos pays out quickly, on what terms, and what are the rules where I live — is oddly hard to answer.
This site answers that question with facts we have checked and dated, and stops there.
What we cover
- Casino reviews, each scored on seven criteria: security and fairness, bonuses, games, customer service, banking and payout speed, localization, and mobile play. The weights and the checks behind them are on How we verify.
- Payout speed: how quickly each casino reviews a withdrawal and pays it, method by method, in our fastest payout guide.
- A guide to every province and territory: who regulates online gambling there, the legal age, and what is allowed.
- The Kahnawake licence guide, for the casinos licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
Every casino page names the licence the casino holds and the body that issued it. Many casinos Canadians use are licensed offshore, in Curaçao or Kahnawake, rather than registered in a province, and we say which.
What we are not
We are not a gambling operator. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or run games.
We are not a review site that invents its verdicts. Every score is built from seven published criteria with fixed weights, and we write no accounts of nights we did not have.
We are not free of commercial interest, and we do not pretend to be. Some of the operators listed here pay us commission when a reader opens an account. How that works, and what it explicitly does not affect, is set out in How we make money.
Gambling is not a way to make money
Nothing on this site is advice to gamble. This site exists so that people who have already decided to gamble can compare casinos on facts we have checked and dated, and know which licence each one holds. If gambling has stopped being something you do for fun, the support resources on this site are free, confidential and available at any hour.
