Our Method for Reviewing Montreal Online Casinos
When we put together our list of the top online casinos in Montreal, we didn’t just pick the ones with the biggest names or the flashiest games. Instead, we had our expert team evaluate every aspect of each site in order to come up with a list we could confidently stand behind for our readers.
Each of these sites meets our exacting standards for both fairness and security. That means that each one has a track record of fair play as well as licensing from a trusted regulator with experience in the online gambling industry. No online casino that can’t meet these basic requirements has any chance of making our list.
Next, we look at the aspects of online casino play that we know players care about most. For instance, we take a look at the overall game selection, rating sites based on how wide the variety of options are and the quality of the software providers they use. We also look at promotions and bonuses, evaluating how lucrative they are and how fair the terms are for you.
We also check out the many factors outside of gaming that can impact your casino experience. That includes taking a look at what banking options are available for users, as well as the quality of the customer service, among other factors. While no site is perfect, only a Montreal online casino that can score well in all of these categories can snag a recommendation from us and make it onto our top list.
Casino Licensing: Guaranteeing Fair Play in Montreal
Licensing is a critical aspect of any trusted Montreal casino, online or live. A license shows that a casino operator has met the standards for fairness and trustworthiness of a regulatory board. This includes aspects like providing fair and random gameplay as well as security in terms of your financial and personal data. A license from a regulator also provides players with somewhere to turn when they have an issue with a casino.
While there are many important regulators for the gaming industry in Canada and around the world, two in particular are noteworthy for Montreal online casinos.
Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Quebec (RACJ)
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Quebec oversees all gaming licensed by the province, including all land-based casinos and Loto-Quebec. The RAJC oversees a single regulated online casino within Quebec, known as Espace Jeux, which was launched in 2010. However, many more sites are available to players in Montreal via other regulators, including one more located right near the city.
Kahnawake Gaming Commission
The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) is an online gambling regulatory body that governs sites that operate out of the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, which is located on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River just across from Montreal. Established in 1996, the KGC is one of the oldest online gambling regulators, and has shown that it is a reputable overseer of the industry, sanctioning unscrupulous operators and reaching agreements with other international regulators.
Banking Options: Secure and Convenient for Montreal Gamblers
One of the biggest concerns we hear from new players is uncertainty over how to securely transfer money to and from online casinos. Thankfully, online Montreal casinos have a variety of trusted options available for deposits and withdrawals.
Of course, you can rely on time-tested options like credit card payments or bank transfers, the kinds of methods used for payments all over the internet. However, the online gaming industry has more creative options available to use, such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, or a variety of e-wallet solutions that allow you to store money in an account that you can use to deposit or receive cashouts.
If you’re worried about using your bank or credit card information at all, other workarounds exist. For instance, you might try Paysafecard, which allows you to buy a voucher in person that you can then redeem at many Montreal online casinos. You may also be able to pay via your phone bill at some sites, which is an ideal option for small stakes player who want to quickly put a few dollars in a casino account.
The Fine Print: Fees and Taxes Explained
For the most part, Montreal gamblers won’t have to worry about taxes and fees when gambling. Most Canadians do not have to pay tax on their gambling winnings, with the only exception being for professional gamblers – those individuals who expect to win and derive their income primarily from gambling activities, such as professional sports bettors or poker players.
Do be aware that when you play at online casinos in Montreal, you might occasionally see fees related to banking with gaming sites. These fees are rarely, if ever, imposed by the casinos themselves. Instead, the payment processors themselves might charge you small fees for using their services. This can take place when sending or receiving cryptocurrency, making wire transfers, withdrawing funds from an e-wallet, or in similar circumstances.
Most of these taxes and fees are set at the provincial level. You can take a look at our page on Quebec casinos to get a better idea of what to expect at casinos in Montreal and throughout the province.
Game Variety: Top Choices at Montreal Online Casinos
Good news: you can play just about any casino game you can image online at Montreal casinos. While slots dominate the online gambling landscape, that’s only the start of the options you’ll see at these sites.
Of course, we will start there, as slot machines make up the backbone of nearly every online casino. Most Montreal online casinos feature hundreds – if not thousands – of different slot machines that come from any of dozens of trusted developers, giving you enough machines to play for a lifetime.
If you prefer table games, you’ll be fully covered as well. Not only can you play blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Three Card Poker and other classics, but you’ll also see many variants that are online possible through the magic of online gambling.
You can also try these and more with real human dealers working with real casino equipment via live dealer games.
If that wasn’t enough, you’ll also see other popular casino options like scratch cards, keno, and video poker. Many sites also include specialty online games, like bingo-based options, simulated sports, and other unique offerings you won’t see at live resorts. You can even try many of these games without risking any of your own money with no deposit bonuses, which are available at many top Montreal online casinos.
Choosing the Best Montreal Online Casino: Key Factors
While we are confident that you’ll have a great time at any Montreal online casino on our list, the truth is that not every site is the right one for each player. The key is to pick a casino that meets your needs, based on some key factors that matter most for you. Here are three areas many players choose to focus on when picking an online casino.
- Offering: Does a casino have the games you like to play most? Do you like the style of games that its software providers offer? These are important questions you should ask before diving into any online casino. If you’re interested in live dealer casinos, be sure to consider whether a site has that as part of its offering as well.
- Payment options: No matter how much you like all the other aspects of an online casino, none of it matters unless you can actually move money in and out of your account. Take time to read the last of payment options and make sure you have access to methods that work with the casino you’re choosing to play at.
- Bonus terms: A flashy bonus might look nice, but you should dig deeper before assuming every promotion is a great deal. Make sure to read the bonus terms to ensure that you can play the games you want while clearing the bonus, and that other conditions – like the wagering requirement – are realistic for the amount you want to play.
Mobile Gaming: Play On-the-Go with Montreal Online Casinos
Mobile gaming is no longer the wave of the future, it’s how most gamblers connect to online casinos. Each and every one of our recommended sites is designed with mobile play in mind, meaning that you’ll have a fully optimised experience on your smartphone, tablet, or other devices.
These days, you’ll get the full range of games at the mobile version of the casino, and they’ll all play the same way they would on your computer. In fact, you might be able to play on your mobile phone at the same site that supports desktop play. Many Montreal online casinos use mobile-optimised websites to serve all customers through one portal, while others offer downloadable apps that you can install and play on your phone.
Online Casino Security: Staying Safe in Montreal
It’s hard to have fun playing at any online gambling site if you’re not sure you’ll be safe while you’re there. That’s why we only recommend Montreal online casinos that implement state of the art procedures to ensure your safety.
That starts with SSL encryption that meets the standards of major e-commerce or banking websites. Typically, an online casino will use 12-bit or 256-bit encryption in order to make sure nobody can steal any financial or personal details that are stored on its website.
In addition, you can rest assured that your money is safe thanks to the regulators that oversee each of our recommended sites. If you want to learn more, be sure to check out the licensing information that should be at the bottom of any legitimate online casino website. There, you’ll also see information in independent auditing that is done to confirm that all games offered at a casino are fair, safe, and random in their results.
Montreal Gambling Law Updates: What You Need to Know
Since 1985, all gambling law in Canada is controlled at the provincial level. That means that all laws governing land-based and online Montreal casinos is dictated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Quebec.
Quebec is one of the few provinces where the gambling age is set at 18 rather than 19. That applies to virtually all forms of gambling, including both online casinos and land-based resorts. The RACJ has handed a virtual monopoly for online gambling to the provincial lottery authority, Loto-Quebec. However, there are no laws preventing players from accessing and gambling on international sites, providing many more options for Montreal players.
Quebec hasn’t changed its gaming laws in recent years, with the most significant change to the provincial market coming in 2021. That’s when the Canadian government lifted the prohibition on single-event wagering for sports betting, meaning that Loto-Quebec’s Mise-o-jeu could now offer individual wagers – though the RACJ still gives the lottery a monopoly on sports betting under its license.
Montreal Online Casinos vs. Land-Based Casinos: Advantages and Drawbacks
We love promoting the best online casinos in Montreal, but the city also has a rich and vibrant land-based casino scene. There are advantages to both forms of gambling, and which one you choose is a matter of what you’re looking to get out of your casino play.
Online casinos can’t be beat when it comes to accessibility. You can play your favourite games right from your phone or laptop, anywhere and any time you want. They typically have a bigger variety of slots, and can offer extremely low limits in table games compared to their land-based counterparts. Plus, you’ll never have to wait for a seat at a table! You can also get bonuses and promotions online that land-based casinos can’t match.
So why take a trip to a real-world resort? For one, there’s nothing like the atmosphere and ambiance of a lively casino. The sights and sounds can’t be matched even by a live dealer game online, and there’s a special excitement when you win alongside your fellow players. Plus, when you’re done gambling, you can catch a show, get a great meal, and even stay in a luxurious hotel, turning your casino trip into a full vacation.
Guide to the Best Land-Based Casinos in Montreal
Montreal and its surrounding area are home to some of Canada’s finest casinos. Here’s a look at three of our favourite places to place our bets when we’re in Montreal.
Casino de Mont-Tremblant
While heading to this destination requires a trip about 130 kilometres northwest from the city, the Casino de Mont-Tremblant is well worth the trip. Not only is there a top flight casino with a huge variety of slots and some great jackpots to chase, but you can’t beat the setting. Mont Tremblant Resort is a fabulous ski destination in the winter, as well as perfect for golf and swimming in the summer, with all the amenities one could hope for in a world-class resort.
Casino de Montreal
One of the most famous attractions in the city, the Casino de Montreal is not to be missed by any visitor or local. Located on Notre Dame Island, this is the largest casino in Canada, and has been open since 1993. With 3,000 slot machines and over 80 table games, there are more than enough gaming options for any gambler. A selection of restaurants, bars, and numerous events offer a well-rounded resort experience when you want to step away from the casino floor.
The Playground MTL
If you’re willing to take a quick trip over to Kahnawake, you can check out The Playground, a gaming venue that opened in 2010. It’s a local favourite, and considered the best casino in the Montreal area for poker with a 42-table room. However, be aware that while you can play on more than 600 slots here, there are no traditional table games as in a full casino. A variety of fine dining options make this a goo choice if you’re looking for something more lowkey than Casino de Montreal while staying in the area.
Customer Support at Montreal Online Casinos: Getting Assistance
For an online casino to be truly great, it has to have an excellent staff. Some of the most important workers at any Montreal online casino are the customer support team, who are there to help you with any problems you might encounter or just answer any questions you have about the site.
Generally speaking, there are three ways to contact customer service at an online casino. The fastest and simplest one is often to use the live chat service on the casino website. This will instantly help you get answers to most of your questions, and since you’re still on the site, you can often follow the customer service agent’s instructions in real time while they try to solve the problem.
If you prefer alternate options – or if your casino doesn’t have live chat – there will usually be a phone number you can call to speak to a casino representative who can help resolve your issues. Alternately, you can choose to send an email to customer support in order to make them aware of your problem, which is sometimes a good option for issues that aren’t so urgent.
