About BonusFinder CA
BonusFinder Canada is an independent online casino review and comparison website covering casinos, sports betting sites, and gambling bonuses available to Canadian players. Founded in 2017 and entering the Canadian market in 2018, we help Canadian players find safe, licensed casinos by independently testing platforms, evaluating bonuses against real wagering conditions, and publishing transparent, editorially independent reviews.
We are part of the NASDAQ-listed Gambling.com Group. We are not a gambling operator we do not accept bets or hold player funds. Online gambling regulation in Canada is managed provincially iGaming Ontario launched a regulated online casino market in April 2022 under the AGCO, and provincial lottery corporations (BCLC, AGLC, and others) operate in their respective provinces. It’s all about safe, responsible play, and helping you Find More Fun.
Our Story
BonusFinder was founded in 2017 with one goal: to give players accurate, unbiased information about online casinos at a time when most comparison sites were simply listing whoever paid the most. Canada was our first North American market launched in 2018 and the launch of iGaming Ontario's regulated market in 2022 marked a milestone for the Canadian gambling landscape we had been covering for years. In 2022 we also joined the NASDAQ-listed Gambling.com Group. Here's how it happened.

Why Players Trust BonusFinder Canada
Independence
We assess all casinos independently and based on merit. While we do have partnerships, they never influence our editorial ratings or recommendations. Our aim is to give players objective and reliable information.
Accuracy
We verify all facts using trusted sources and review our content regularly. Casino rules, bonuses, and terms are updated to reflect reality not assumptions. We verify state license status directly via the relevant state gaming commission's public register before publishing any review.
Transparency
We clearly explain how we review, rate, and recommend casinos. If we work with a brand, we’re upfront about it. And if something’s unclear, we’ll tell you that too. We clearly label paid placements where they appear. Our editorial scores are never sold to operators.
Fairness
We write for the players not the casinos. Our tone, layout, and comparisons are built to inform, not persuade. Every casino is evaluated using the same core criteria. We apply the same scoring criteria to every operator including those we have commercial relationships with.
Proof of Testing
Our editors create real accounts, make deposits, claim bonuses, and test withdrawals before writing any review. → See how we test a casino
How We Earn Money
BonusFinder CA is a free resource for players, supported by affiliate commissions. When you register at a casino through our links, we may receive a fee from the operator. This revenue directly funds our independent research, rigorous first-hand testing, and expert editorial team.
Importantly, our commercial partnerships never dictate our ratings. While some positions on the site are clearly labeled as paid placements, all editorial scores and reviews are produced independently and are never for sale.
How We Review Canadian Online Casinos
Online casino regulation in Canada varies by province. In Ontario, only operators licensed through iGaming Ontario and the AGCO may legally offer online casino games. In other provinces, players typically use provincial lottery sites (BCLC in BC, PlayNow in Manitoba) or access offshore operators. We clearly indicate which regulatory framework applies to each casino we review. Once licensing is confirmed, we score each casino across six weighted categories:
| Review Category | Weight | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Licence & Safety | 25% | iGaming Ontario/AGCO licence or recognised international licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, self-exclusion options, KYC process |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer real value, wagering requirements in plain terms, T&C clarity, existing-player promotions, CAD bonus availability |
| Banking & Withdrawals | 20% | Canadian-friendly payment methods (Interac, Visa, Mastercard, iDebit), withdrawal speed, CAD deposit and withdrawal limits, KYC timing |
| Games & Software | 15% | Game variety, reputable software providers, RTP transparency, live casino quality, mobile game availability |
| Customer Support | 10% | Live chat availability, support hours, French and English support options, complaint resolution |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | App quality, browser-based performance, iOS and Android compatibility, mobile banking functionality |
