Finding welcome bonuses for online casino gamblers in Canada

AFP

When you sign up at an online casino and make a deposit, you’ll receive a welcome bonus. Our goal is to help Canadian gamblers discover the best online casinos with lucrative welcome bonuses and other offers. Welcome bonuses ensure gamblers have an incredible experience by trying out what the casino in question has to offer. Here, we only feature the best online casinos to ensure internet gamblers from Canada have a great gaming experience.

Welcome Bonus Structure

Online casinos usually offer welcome bonuses with confusing structures. However, there’s no need to worry because we have simplified everything for you. The following table summarizes welcome bonus structures to help you understand how these bonuses work before you join any online casino.

Deposit Welcome Bonus Deposit Amount Needed to Get the Entire Bonus
First Deposit 100% to a maximum of $800 $800
Second Deposit 50% to a maximum of $200 $400
Third Deposit 25% to a maximum of $200 $800
Fourth Deposit 50% to a maximum of $300 $600

Are You Required to Claim Welcome Bonuses all the Time?

If you want to claim welcome bonuses at any online casino, the first step is to sign up. You need to create a profile and fill in the necessary details to stand a chance of claiming the casino’s welcome bonus. Once you create your casino account, you can claim the available bonuses when playing on your desktop or mobile device.

Claiming online casino welcome bonuses is not a must, but it’s always a great option. Even though welcome bonuses come with wagering requirements, they allow players to place huge bets as soon as they register at an online casino. Also, welcome bonuses have no impact on your winning chances. You can use them and still enjoy your favorite games without worrying about the odds. If you don’t want to claim a welcome bonus, contact the casino’s customer representatives and let them know your decision. They’ll help you play without using the bonus on offer.

Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements may also be confusing, but they are easy to understand. Online casinos use them to prevent players from withdrawing their bonus cash as soon as they get it. Even when you accept a bonus of 0.01 CAD, you’ve agreed to meet the applicable wagering requirements. The good news is that it is possible to meet most of the wagering requirements you’ll come across when claiming bonuses at online casinos.

If a welcome bonus worth $1,500 comes with a 30x playthrough requirement, you must wager $45,000 in total. It’s not about depositing $45,000 but placing bets worth $45,000 in order to withdraw your welcome bonus. You’ll have a clear understanding of wagering requirements if you bet on a regular basis.
