We’ve put together some common questions about gambling in Canada, using CanadaWin, and playing smart. Don’t see your question here? Get in touch — we’re happy to help.
What is CanadaWin?
CanadaWin is an independent guide to gambling in Canada. We provide information about online casinos, scratch cards, lottery games, and venues where you can legally play slots or VLT machines across the country.
Can I use CanadaWin to find a place to play near me?
Yes! We’re building a directory of casinos, bars, clubs, and venues where you can play slots and VLTs. Keep an eye on our Slots Near Me page (coming soon).
Is this a gambling site?
No. CanadaWin does not offer gambling or accept bets. We provide information for entertainment and education only. All third-party links are to external providers with their own terms and conditions.
Do you offer promotions or bonuses?
We may list welcome offers or promotions from licensed casinos, but we don’t run or manage them ourselves. Always read the fine print on any promotion before signing up.
How can I gamble responsibly?
Smart gambling means setting limits, knowing the odds, and playing for fun — not to make money. Visit our Play Smart page for tips and resources.
What should I do if gambling is becoming a problem?
If gambling no longer feels fun, help is available. You can reach out to support services like ProblemGambling.ca or call a helpline in your province. All support is free and confidential.
Is online gambling legal in Canada?
Yes — but it depends on your province. Some provinces run their own online gambling platforms, while others allow private operators. Always make sure you’re playing with a licensed and legal provider.
How do you choose which casinos to list?
We review casinos based on safety, licensing, user experience, game selection, customer support, and payout options. We aim to provide neutral, honest, and up-to-date reviews to help you make informed choices.
How can I suggest a venue or casino to be listed?
Easy — head to our Contact Page and send us a message with the details. We’ll review the info and get back to you.
