Curtis Joseph 1. Definitions
- “Site” means mastercard-casino-list-canada.com, its subpages and our newsletter;
- “Content” means the rankings, reviews, comparison tables, payment guides, bank and province information, images and other material we publish;
- “Operator” means an online casino or other gambling company that we review, list or link to;
- “User” or “you” means any person who visits or uses the Site.
2. Eligibility
2.1. The Site is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their province: 19+ in most provinces and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Québec. By using the Site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
2.2. Gambling rules differ between provinces and territories. Ontario and Alberta run regulated markets with registered private operators, while other provinces offer online gambling through Crown lottery corporations. You are responsible for checking that online gambling with a given Operator is permitted where you live before you open an account.
3. What the Site Provides
3.1. We compare online casinos that accept Mastercard and publish practical information on card deposits, payouts back to the card, cash advance rules at Canadian banks, licences, welcome offers and alternatives such as Interac.
3.2. We do not accept bets, hold player funds or process payments. Accounts, deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and identity checks are handled by the Operator you choose, under its own terms, licence and privacy policy. Any dispute about an account, a payment or a bonus is between you and that Operator.
3.3. Card approval is decided by your card issuer. Whether a Mastercard payment to an Operator is approved, declined or billed as a cash advance depends on your bank and your cardholder agreement, not on us.
4. Accuracy of Information
4.1. We check deposit limits, payout times, bonus terms and licence details when we publish and update our Content, and our team tests deposits and withdrawals at the casinos we rank. Operators and banks change their terms often, so figures may differ by the time you visit a cashier.
4.2. Before you deposit, confirm the current minimum deposit, payout method, wagering requirement and bonus terms on the Operator’s site, and the cash advance terms in your cardholder agreement.
4.3. If you spot an outdated or incorrect detail, write to [email protected]. We review every report and correct confirmed errors.
5. Rankings and Commercial Relationships
5.1. Our rankings reflect how each Operator handles Mastercard deposits and payouts, its licence, its payout record and its terms for Canadian players.
5.2. Some Operators pay us a fee when a reader opens an account through a link on the Site. These payments fund our testing and research. They never cost you anything, and they do not change the facts we publish about deposits, payouts, fees or licences.
5.3. Bonus offers and promotions listed on the Site are provided by Operators. They are subject to each Operator’s terms, including eligibility, wagering requirements and expiry periods.
6. Links to Third-Party Sites
6.1. The Site links to Operators, banks, regulators and support organisations. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or practices.
6.2. Your use of a third-party website is governed by that website’s own terms and privacy policy.

11. Responsible Gambling
11.1. Gambling carries a risk of losing money. Treat it as paid entertainment, set a budget before you play and use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools that Operators provide.
11.2. We recommend debit Mastercard or Interac over credit cards, because many Canadian issuers bill gambling transactions as cash advances with fees and interest from day one.
11.3. Our Responsible Gambling page lists free provincial helplines, including ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600, and self-exclusion programs such as BetGuard in Ontario.
