Casino.online expands its offer for Canadian users

Casino.online is a company that started in the DACH region and is now growing in the UK, Japan, US, and Canada. It is a company that offers online gaming, lottery, and sports betting. New players from Canada are not the only ones happy about the new online gambling regulations in their home country. The market is booming for international operators like Casino.online, which has just unveiled a brand-new version of its website, especially for Canadians.
With this move, Casino.online has become one of the first and most successful operators that acknowledges and addresses the needs of Canadian gamblers. Now they can enjoy all the best games from their own country and begin a new, more exciting chapter in their love affair with the slots in general and with specialties such as Video Poker or Multi-line Slots that have great potential to become even more popular with Canadian players than they are right now.
Check out the new Casino.online platform
The new Casino.online website is designed to be easy to use and navigate and to provide a top-level user experience. The site is completely responsive, so it will automatically adjust to look good on any device or browser, including mobile devices. The design and colors of the site are elegant and inviting, with a focus on Slots as the main attraction. The top-level menu will help you find everything easily and quickly. Some other features might make a difference to you. This is even more important to Canadian players since they will be able to access the site without having to download or register an account – which is not allowed by the laws in their country. This makes the experience smoother and more convenient for everyone.
Welcome bonus for new players
The rules of the welcome bonus for new players are straightforward, which is not surprising since the operator wants to make sure that Canadians get the most out of the generous offer. The first thing you should do is to sign up with your email address and name. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to activate your account and make your first deposit. The minimum deposit is CAD 40 and you can choose to have the bonus added to your account immediately. This will give you a nice head start for your future gambling activities.
200% match bonus for all new users!
The welcome bonus is a one-time gift, but the operator has prepared something even better for all the new players who want to experience the best Slots games at Casino.online. The operator is offering a 200% match bonus to the first deposit on the first five consecutive days! The maximum bonus amount is CAD 800, which is quite a lot. You can withdraw your winnings after you have gambled through the bonus amount five times.
VIP program for loyal Canadian players
A VIP program is a very popular feature among online casinos and a great way to reward loyal players. The Casino.online VIP program is not yet available, but the operator is planning to introduce it soon. The program will include rewards for loyal players, such as bonuses and special offers.
Casino.online has been one of the best gambling sites for years, but it has also always been one of the most popular sites for Canadian gamblers. The new platform will give players even more reasons to love this casino. The new design is modern and sleek, and the site will be fully responsive so that it will look great on any device. Now Canadian players can access their favourite slot games without having to download any software. The new platform will also have an improved loyalty program and new games.

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.
On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.
In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.
As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.
Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.
A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.
“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
