Bingo is one of the most popular games in Canada. It is fun, easy to play, and can be very lucrative. Online bingo Canada is played in many forms, from traditional paper cards to online bingo sites. The best online bingo sites in Canada offer various games, including 90-ball and 75-ball versions, along with special games. Here are important factors to consider when picking the best online bingo for real money Canada.

Licensed and regulated

When choosing a bingo site, you want to ensure it’s licensed and regulated. The government has approved the site to operate within its borders. Regulated means that rules are in place to ensure fair play and protect customers.

If you’re looking for a Canadian site, make sure the Canadian government licenses it. And if you are looking for an international site, make sure it’s regulated by a reputable gaming commission—like the UK Gambling Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority.

Variety of games

When looking for the best Canadian bingo sites, the variety of games is one of the second things to consider. The more options you have, the better your chances are that you will find something you like playing.

Look for sites with many rooms, players, and chat rooms. If there aren’t enough people playing at any given time, there won’t be much competition for prizes or tickets. This means that there will be less excitement overall and a lower chance that you will win anything substantial during your gameplay time.

Mobile apps

The use of mobile apps is convenient and allow you to play bingo on the go. Some sites offer a mobile app, while others don’t. If you’re looking for an online bingo site that offers a mobile app, it can be helpful to check their ratings and reviews and other users’ experiences with the app.

If a site does have a mobile app, it can be helpful to know how stable it is. Also, whether there have been any issues with crashes when using it.

Customer support

The best bingo sites in Canada offer customer support in various ways, such as via phone or live chat. These options are especially good for those new to online gaming who want the reassurance of speaking with a real human being if they need help.

However, you will also want to ensure that some kind of written information is available on online bingo in Canada. Therefore, you can easily look up answers to questions without waiting for someone to respond (or not). Some sites have FAQs, and others have an extensive knowledge base; either option will suffice as long as it will allow you access from anywhere at any time.

Payment methods and withdrawal times

When you make deposits, it’s important that you can use a method that feels secure and convenient for you. It is also important to know that your funds won’t be held for some arbitrary time. Moreover, there aren’t any hidden withdrawal fees.

Some sites may only offer one or two payment methods, but others might have more extensive offerings. Popular options include:

Bank transfer (e-transfers)
Credit card (Visa/MasterCard)
Debit card (Visa Debit/Master Card Debit)

When it comes to withdrawals, most bingo sites will allow withdrawals once daily. However, there are some exceptions, with bingo sites offering up to three daily withdrawals at no additional cost. However, if this is not fast enough for your needs, check out other available lists of Canada’s fastest-paying bingo sites.

Safety and security

Safety and security are the most important when choosing an online bingo site in Canada. This is why you want to ensure that the website uses SSL encryption. An SSL encryption will ensure your personal information is safe from hackers and scammers.

Another important point to remember is that many bingo websites claim to be “the best” but aren’t all that great. It’s best to find a trusted site with a good reputation and history of success. A good track record makes it easier for players like yourself to decide which one they should choose.

Attractive welcome bonuses and offers

The last thing to look for when looking for the best bingo sites in Canada is a welcome bonus or offer. These are given to new players as an incentive to join, and the value of this bonus can range from a small amount of free money to hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

There are a lot of factors to consider before signing up for an online bingo Canada site However, with a bit of research, you can easily find the best bingo site for you. Try following these factors.

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.
