Best online blackjack casinos for Canadians

Canada does have its own licensing jurisdictions for online casinos with these licences issued by the individual gambling bodies of each province. There are also the Kahnawake Gaming Commission-condoned websites which have gained some notoriety in the casino world. The other option, which is 100% legal, is to play at casinos licensed in places such as Malta and the United Kingdom, which really are market leaders in the iGaming world. The World Gambling List condones the following sites for Canadians.

How do we choose our recommended Canadian casinos?

The World Gambling List is created by a team of experienced people in the online casino industry. We go to various conferences and look the people we are dealing with in the eye. Basically we find casino operators that have good reputations and then try to strike up revenue share deals with the casinos we deem to be trustworthy. We are always intent on building long-term deals and we lose out as much as a player when we recommend dodgy casinos – because in this age of the “user review” you can’t afford to have your reputation tarnished.

What are the best live casinos for Canadians

Our favourite online casino for live dealer blackjack games is LeoVegas, the games at which are by multiple software developers including Microgaming and NetEntertainment. Having said this there are many more options for Canadian players.

What do I need to get started?

Basically you need to be 18 years or older and have the documents to prove it.

Some casinos will have an online verification process which can be done and dusted in a matter of minutes.
