Here is a useful step-by-step guide to depositing and withdrawing at Canadian online casinos.

If you're new to online casinos and wondering how to top up your account and then cash out your winnings for the first time, you've come to the right place.

Here is a useful step-by-step guide to depositing and withdrawing at online casinos. Also revealed on this page are some of today's most popular online casino payment methods that Canadian players commonly use.

How old must I be to deposit at online casinos?

To deposit real money at an online casino, you must first register a new account, and to register a new account, you must be of legal age, which can be 18, 19, 20 or 21, depending on which region/jurisdiction you live in.

Always check before signing up to a licensed casino site that you are old enough because, for example, in the United Kingdom, Europe, and many other parts of the world, it's just 18. However, in Canadian provinces, it's 19, and in most US States where online casino gambling is legal, it's usually 21.

How to deposit at online casinos

As soon as your new online casino account has been activated, you will first want to top up your account. Let's just say that you have signed up to the official Unibet Online Casino – one of the best online casinos in Canada.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Click on the 'deposit' button that's located towards the top right-hand side of the website (next to the main balance and bonus balance display).

Step 2: Choose one of the accepted payment methods from the trusted online payment solutions on display. This includes a variety of e-Wallets, credit and debit cards, direct/instant bank transfers, and a prepaid card option.

Step 3: Enter the amount that you wish to deposit (the minimum amount should start from just C$10).

The min/max amount you can deposit may vary slightly depending on exactly which method you are using to deposit. For example, the Paysafecard prepaid card only goes up to a certain amount, but you can deposit far more with most other payment methods.

Step 4: After selecting a preferred payment method, enter the amount that you wish to deposit and follow the onscreen instructions applying to that method.

Step 5: Once you have confirmed the information and followed the instructions, the payment should then be processed in an instant, and you should now see the amount you deposited in your available balance. It's that simple.

Don't forget that when Canadian players use the bank transfer payment option to deposit into their Unibet account, there are no minimum or maximum deposit amounts. Deposits and withdrawals can be made when logged into your account from your smartphone, laptop, desktop computer or tablet.

What kind of payment methods can I use for deposits and withdrawals?

The main payment options that Canadian players can use to top up their accounts and withdraw their winnings are the following tried and tested methods:

● Direct/instant bank transfers
● Credit & debit cards, such as Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, and Maestro
● E-Wallets (often referred to as digital wallets) such as Interac, and ecoPayz
● Prepaid card - Paysafecard

Players may also have access to other trusted payment methods in other parts of the world, such as Skrill and Neteller. There are usually no fees attached to deposits or withdrawals, which means that the casino will not charge you each time you deposit/withdraw.

However, some payment solutions may apply a small fee. Before using a payment method, the best thing to do is check with your payment service provider if there are any fees. If there is ever a fee, it will be hardly noticeable.

Final note

Making a withdrawal at an online casino is pretty much the same as making a deposit, but almost in reverse. You can keep track of your transactions when logged into your account by going to the 'transactions history' section.
