By definition, gambling is a form of entertainment where you risk money in the hopes of winning some more. There are many forms of gambling, but they all have some common elements:
EXAMPLE: You bet C$1 with your friend on the outcome of a coin toss. You call heads; your friend gets tails. The rules are simple: if the coin comes up heads, you win C$1 from your friend. However, you're risking C$1 of your own money, and if the coin comes up tails, you will lose it.
Gambling isn't always as simple as a coin toss. Here are some types of gambling games you may already know:
Most of the examples listed above are casino games you play against the house. The odds are slightly tilted against you to cover the cost of running the game. We explain this in more detail in our Guide to casino games.
Compared to brick-and-mortar casinos, gambling online has several advantages:
In Canada, online gambling is tightly regulated. Every legal gambling site offering its games to Canadian players must hold a valid gambling licence.
On Bojoko, you'll only find properly licensed gambling sites.
Today, practically every form of gambling is available online. In this online gambling guide, we tell you how to:
On Bojoko, every site listed has a valid license for gambling operations. We only recommend gambling sites that are proven to be trustworthy and holds a licence granted by, for example, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Together, they give you an accurate idea of what it's like to play on a certain site. You can also join the Bojoko community for free and share your own experiences.
Most online gambling sites offer bonuses to new players. For example, there are no deposit online gambling sites that let you try out the games with bonus funds before you risk your own money.
New players usually get a bonus when they:
You'll find the gambling sites' bonus details on the Bojoko listings. They show you how much bonus you can get, how to get it and all the significant terms and conditions you should be aware of.
In Canada, bonuses usually work on an opt-in basis. Depending on the bonus you're after, you'll need to tick the right box at the right time.
We explain different bonus types and how they work on our Casino bonuses page.
After you've clicked on the big PLAY HERE button, you'll land on the gambling site. Before you sign up, take a look around and make sure this is the place where you want to play.
Once you've made up your mind, there should be a big button that says REGISTER, SIGN UP, CREATE ACCOUNT or something like that. Click on it.
First, you'll need to fill out a signup form. It'll ask your:
Fill out the form with accurate personal info. If you want to get your money out someday, don't make stuff up.
You'll also need to pick a username and a password. You're using real money to play on the site, so make the password unique and hard to guess.
Next, you'll need to verify your account. You should get a verification link either to your email inbox or as an SMS. Follow the instructions in the message.
Now that you're all set with a shiny new account, it's time to make a deposit.
Every site has slightly different ways you can pay for gambling online. The usual suspects include:
Choose a method you're familiar with. Also, pay attention to:
You'll find the supported banking methods and their specs on the banking page.
Making the actual deposit is easy.
The rest is up to the payment processor. Follow the instructions on your screen.
When the deposit goes through, the money should appear on your player account. This should only take a few seconds.
If you can't see your deposit on your player account, refresh the page. If the problem persists, get in touch with the customer support.
Now that your money is on your player account, it's time to play. Online gambling sites have a vast selection of gambling games to choose from:
In addition to gambling machines and classic table games, some sites feature bingo, sports betting and poker.
When you navigate to the games lobby, you'll see different categories. Click on the title and the game loads. In the game screen, click on the ❔or 🛈 icon to see the rules and additional info.
Once you're ready, choose a bet size you're comfortable with and click on the "spin" or "deal" button to start the game.
Before you risk your own funds, most sites allow you to try the gambling games for free to see how it works.
When you're launching the game, choose the "Play for free" option to test drive the game. In the free mode, all your bets and winnings will be in play money. You don't have anything to lose, but you can't win anything either.
In case you have any questions, help is just a few clicks away.
On most online gambling sites, you have several ways to get in touch with the support team:
You'll find the exact operating hours on the operator's website. You can also read our tester reviews to get an idea of the quality of help you can expect to get.
In addition, many sites list the frequently asked questions on their FAQ page.
You can cash out your remaining deposit and possible winnings at any time. Go to your account and make a withdrawal request.
You have to use the same payment method for both deposits and withdrawals.
Depending on the site, processing your withdrawal may take a few hours or several days. You'll find the quickest ones on our Instant withdrawal casinos page. In addition, some payment methods are faster than others.
After both the gambling site and the payment processor have cleared the withdrawal, the money will appear on your bank account or the chosen payment method.
Online gambling sites must make sure you are who you say you are. This regulatory requirement helps them combat money laundering, underage gambling and fraud.
Some sites can verify your account based on the details you provide during the signup process by comparing them to 3rd party databases.
However, you may also need to submit more documents before the site can process your withdrawal. This is known as the KYC (Know Your Customer) check.
The gambling site may ask you to upload or email them the following documents:
Once you have sent the documents in the specified format, it may take a few days for the gambling site to check them and verify your account. Once again, our tester reviews give you a hint of how long this could take.
