Online Casino Payment Methods Available in Canada 2024

Visa

Visa is one of the world’s largest credit and debit card networks. So, it’s no surprise that it’s an accepted online casino deposit method that can be found on most sites. Deposits are processed immediately and casinos will not usually charge a fee.

However, you may incur charges from your card issuer. Note that although this is a convenient option for funding your account, online casinos do not offer it as a way to withdraw your winnings which means that you will likely need to find an alternative option.

Mastercard

Mastercard is another one of the biggest bank card networks that is accepted in over 200 countries and territories  across the world. It is a readily available casino payment option at many sites but is not as commonly supported as the payout method.

While the casinos themselves don’t usually charge fees for using Mastercard, your bank or card issuer may apply small fees.

American Express

American Express is another well-known international banking card network. Visa and Mastercard are accepted at a lot more casinos than AMEX, however, you will be able to use this method at a fair number of sites. AMEX deposits should have zero fees and are often processed instantly.

Paysafecard

With Paysafecard, you can use cash to fund your online gambling account by purchasing a card from a local retailer. Casinos won’t charge you any fee for using this method and deposits are processed instantly.

At a Paysafecard casino, you never have to worry about providing any personal financial information as all you need is your 16-digit PIN. However, you should note that this will only be available for deposits and when the time comes to withdraw funds you will need to select an alternative.

PayPal

PayPal is perhaps the most well-known eWallet online. Unfortunately, due to their restrictions, you cannot make online casino deposits or withdrawals with this method. However, you can use PayPal to fund other options accepted by the casino like purchasing crypto or prepaid vouchers.

Neteller

This is a diverse eWallet that has some of the lowest fees around. Sadly, like PayPal, most online casinos in Canada can no longer offer direct withdrawals or deposits from Neteller. However, you can buy crypto via Neteller using fiat payment options and use the crypto to make deposits and take advantage of exclusive offers.

EcoCard

Depositing funds with an Ecocard at an online casino will incur no charges from the casino. However, Ecocard may charge you a rate of up to 2.99% for currency conversion if the casino does not accept funds in CAD. Maximum limits are usually around CA$3,000 to CA$5,000 and withdrawals will take up to three days.

ecoPayz

You can find ecoPayz as an accepted casino deposit method at most sites. This prepaid electronic wallet will allow you to make deposits and withdrawals with no fees charged by the casino. Maximum limits vary greatly between casinos, typically between CA$5,000 and CA$25,000. Deposit limits are also dependent on the site, with some being as low as CA$1,000 and CA$10,000.

MuchBetter

MuchBetter is a relatively new mobile wallet that you will find at almost all Canadian casinos. You need to download the MuchBetter app on your mobile device to use this method. The app is free to download and there are no additional charges by the casino. Deposit transactions are instant, and withdrawals are fast, usually taking less than 24 hours.

Neosurf

Neosurf is another electronic pre-pay voucher system that allows you to use cash to gamble online. You can buy vouchers from local retailers or purchase them online. It’s a widely accepted casino deposit method, however, it’s not available for withdrawal. There are no fees from the casino but if the currency needs to be exchanged, Neosurf will charge a 2% fee.

Wire Transfer

This traditional method is a mainstay at online casinos for withdrawals. It’s less common to find as a deposit method but it is occasionally supported. It’s one of the slower methods for withdrawals and takes between 3-5 days, or longer in some instances. Wire transfers usually have some of the highest maximum withdrawal limits often being CA$20,000 or more.

eCheck

eCheck are electronic versions of traditional paper checks. As a deposit option, they are quite rare and if a casino offers eCheck deposits it can take 1-3 days to appear in your casino account. Withdrawals are more commonly available but the processing time is even long usually taking somewhere between 5-7 days.

Instadebit

This secure online banking method works as an intermediary between your bank and the casino. You can incur a flat rate fee from Instadebit, ranging from CA$0-2 but casinos will add no additional charges. Deposits are instant and maximum limits are around CA$10,000 but it is possible to find sites with no maximum limit.

Bitcoin

Most sites now support Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals. Deposits are processed instantly and free of charge. Withdrawals are also usually free and can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 days depending on the casino, however, around 24 hours is the average processing time. One of the reasons Bitcoin has become one of the most popular online casino payment methods is because players will often qualify for exclusive online casino bonuses and promotions.

Interac

Interac is a network that links banks and other organizations to transfer money from one bank account to another electronically. It’s one of the most popular casino banking options and is supported at most online casinos in Canada.

Minimum deposit and payout limits are often quite low around CA$10-20. The maximum limits are usually at the lower end being around CA$1,000 to CA$3,000.

Jeton

Jeton is an eWallet available in several countries around the world. It’s accepted at a large number of Canadian casinos. Deposits are free of charge but you will find that a 2.5% fee will be charged by Jeton when you receive money. Withdrawals are typically completed within 48 hours but can take longer at some sites.

Skrill

Casinos in Canada no longer support direct payments or withdrawals from Skrill. Some casinos still advertise it as it is available in certain countries but Canada is unfortunately not one. You can use it in conjunction with other options like crypto or prepaid vouchers but direct transfers to and from casinos are not possible.

Maestro

Maestro is one of the other credit debit card casino payment options you will encounter while gambling online. It’s not as widely available as Visa or Mastercard and you will only be able to make deposits with a Maestro card.

Entropay

Entropay is a prepaid debit card that should work at any casino that supports Visa or Mastercard. It is free of charge to use Entropay at casinos as sites do not charge processing fees for this method. However, when you top up your card there is a fee of 4.95% charged by Entropay and if you want to withdraw money there is also a small flat rate fee.

Payforit

Payforit is a mobile banking service that lets you deposit at casinos using your phone. Rather than paying for your deposit outright like most other payment methods, the amount will be charged to your phone bill. It’s still not widely available at online casinos. If a site does offer it, it will only be for deposits.

Ethereum

Like Bitcoin, Ethereum is a cryptocurrency and a common online casino payment method at many sites. Deposits are processed immediately.

Withdrawals can take between 20 minutes and 3 days subject depending on the casino. You will generally find that casinos don’t charge any fees for using Ethereum.

Litecoin

Another popular crypto coin that is now supported at a large number of online casinos is Litecoin. Like other cryptos, it also generally comes with no fees and processing times are fast with deposits being instant and withdrawals taking ten minutes to three days.

Google Pay

Google Pay is a mobile payment service that you can use online and in person. Unfortunately, this method is not one of the most commonly accepted payment methods, and several sites that accept it as a deposit method do not support withdrawals. If a site does support GPay withdrawals it usually takes one to two days.

Apple Pay

Apple Pay is another popular mobile payment method as most people using an iPhone will likely have an account set up. Like Google Pay, it is often an available deposit method but rarer to see it supported for withdrawals. If it is the processing times are around 24-48 hours and incur no charges.

Revolut

Revolut is a fairly new banking service that offers a fully online account and a linked one-use debit card. One of the advantages of Revolut is that you can pay in different currencies without exchange rate fees, which is especially useful for casinos based offshore. You will not be charged at most sites when using Revolut as a casino banking method.

Boku

Boku works by charging deposits you make to your phone bill. It’s convenient, particularly for those using their phone to gamble. However, it is found at a very limited number of Canadian casinos at the moment and maximum deposit limits are usually around CA$30 a day which is pretty low compared to other payment methods.
